Speaking during an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street” segment earlier this week, CEO of cybersecurity giant Palo Alto Networks Nikesh Arora implored the tech industry to lower the cost of AI.

During the segment, the chief executive argued that the cost to use large language models (LLMs) has to drop by 20 percent by 2027 — and 90 percent by 2028 — for the tech to be useful to enterprises.

“We need to see the pricing for AI come down,” Arora said.

      If they were actually firing bad employees then they would start with the executives. The whole AI thing is largely a reflection of what executives think work is, where you just need to prompt your employees better to get better results

        I always think that’s the reason of AI overconfidence.

        Look at it this way: if AI was my boss, got a lots of things kinda wrong and some things totally wrong, I’d just ignore the bs and do my job the way things actually work.

        So from employee perspective, CEOs are easy to replace because they just assign work to be done. Because that’s the easy part and if you give wrong instructions, someone with actual intelligence and actual hands would eventually do it right.

        Flip the coin, and get someone that knows their stuff and let them assign work to incompetent people and or AI, and what do you get? Slop.
