Yes, another tragedy is when sales guy from company A talks to sales guy from company B.
You want a submarine to also fly into space? Oh yeah, we can do that! Our engineers are really smart, shouldn't be a problem. We'll have that design over to you in 2 weeks!
Later, when talking to the engineering team...
Well, I don't see what's so hard about it. We've had submarines and planes in WW2, you're telling me we can't innovative and combine those ideas? Well, this is an opportunity for you guys to really show off the engineering ability of the company... And I can't move the promise date now, I already talked to him on the phone and I'm about to go on my cruise. Call me if you need anything!
Just draw 7 red lines with green ink…
Another guy with an MBA:It needs to have AI too!!! You know, like ChaTGPT. So it can reason about the world!!
Engineer: You know ChatGPT can't "reason" right?
MBA Guy: But I can tell it to autogenerate code!
Engineer: It's just finding code snippets like you could find with a search engine.
MBA: But they said it was sentient! AI!! LLMS!! SYNERGY!!
Engineer:...Nevermind. Yes, we'll build a submarine that can fly and add a chat box so you can ask it what it is thinking.
Engineer quits next day
I'm half joking, but it pains me as an engineer to admit how close to reality this can be.
