I do think there's a fascinating collision coming between a very fast technology and very slow moving businesses. For a lot of people, Christmas was the first time they sat down and tried something like claude code or codex (because they had time to screw around).

Watching it come up with a 30 point action plan to accomplish a task, and then watching it not only attack each step but also check itself along the way is a fascinating and mildly terrifying experience. When you consider how many jobs are just 30 point action plans, things get uncomfy.
