That of ServiceNow, whose tools help businesses automate various tasks, dropped by 13%
If AI can kill ServiceNow, I’ll happily praise our new AI Overlords. I’m sure ServiceNow can be really good. I’ve just never seen it in practice. Perhaps we just never paid for the “interface which doesn’t suck” module.
I ditched cable TV over a decade ago for a simple antenna (and wrote a notable Reddit post on the antenna while I was at it). That was done because I was tired of my wallet being raped each month, because I had to buy a higher bundle to get the channels I wanted. I was stuck with cable internet for a number of years afterwards, as it was the only option in my area. Then T-Mobile offered up 5G based internet in my area at a low price. That was around 6 years ago and I haven’t looked back.
The cable companies sat on their laurels while the world moved on. They are now shocked that their terrible offerings for terrible prices are falling to real competition. Sure, I fully expect the new carriers to do everything in their power to enshitify their service offerings. That’s the nature of business/ But, with the market open to competition, there is now a real opportunity for us customers to shop around and get a less shitty experience. Broadband internet is a commodity and is completely fungible. Prices should be falling and it was only rent seeking rules keeping the prices up.
Yup, I have an Enterprise seat for Copilot through work. It can be useful to slop up emails for management, but anything requiring care, accuracy or attention to detail seems outside it’s wheelhouse. As a those descriptors apply to much of my work, that Copilot license basically collects digital dust. But management is absolutely over the moon with AI, so I don’t feel bad giving them AI slop.
