We got our microwave out of the kitchen.

We all know everything new is the future. Just look at NFTs.

NFTs are the past. Now LLMs are the future.

NFTs are the past-future. AI is the future-future.

As a microwave enjoyer, this is the perfect analogy twoards big tech's notion to push new tech for everything.

My favorite part was all the talk about how the kitchen was going to the size of a closet right next to the idea that you need 100 microwaves to make one good meal. Exactly the tech-bro pitch

Pretty sure that's a response to this: https://www.finalroundai.com/blog/github-ceo-thomas-dohmke-warns-developers-embrace-ai-or-quit

Developers are smart enough that they'll find out for themselves whether and when AI can be helpful. There is really no need for these CEOs to issue absurd commands that developers use AI (in some unspecified way) or quit. This "microwave" article does a good job of showing how absurd the CEOs' commands are. They serve no purpose except to convince investors that the appropriate bandwagons are being jumped on, and to convince CEOs that CEOs are important.
