This feels like an admission there isn't any "AGI" breakthroughs down the yellow brick road if the recommendation is basically to build bespoke vertically integrated "AI stacks".<p>Which I think has been discussed in a least a handful of meetings I have been in recently. This seems uniquely challenging because<p>1) many business processes that could integrate AI are inherently fuzzy because they are designed to absorb edge cases (this is very common in the small-to-medium sized business domain)<p>2) A non-trivial number of the domains where a custom software stack is useful (now with AI!) are under specific security requirements where offloading data into a 3rd party inference engine is untrodden ground (compliance-wise)<p>3) What happens when the word gets out, well hey, we need _more_ programmers to rebuild all of the business processes around this new AI-integrated-workflow, does that go over well with the promise of replacing all labor with AI?
