Just wanted to know if anyone else in this space has witnessed a dynamic play out within their senior leadership.

1. CEO (or whatever top level decision maker) thinks AI is basically a magic wand.

2. Business side executives offer realistic AI use cases that account for current limitations and provide value

3. Technology side executives Indulge CEO as if the CEO's delusions of a magic wand are true. Vibe code empty prototypes to get full buy in.

4. Technology wins every debate and slowly gobbles up all of the territory.

5. Only option for the business side is to try to promise even bigger magic, but can't actually bring themselves to promise it because they understand the reality of the business.

Business side executives get pushed out and business territory continues to shrink.

This is happening in real time at my Fortune 100.

(Additional context from a comment: The dynamic I am dealing with is that they want to give the actual business decisions to an agentic AI. Tech can't really lose. They can in fact create something where the AI spits out plausible sounding, perfectly sycophantic decisions and reasoning. However it will take a while after it is built for it to fail. )

This sub has lost track of what FIRE is about. Honestly get more good regular FIRE advice from leanfire lately that I used to get here. BTW guis, 5m, retirement healthcare guaranteed, can I retire!?!? (Sarcasm, typical post here)

I've been building ebikes for over a decade. Deep inside I always knew that regulation would come for us. We had it so good in the early days. Then the mass market overpowered ebikes began hitting the streets. It was just a matter of time before the unwashed masses who are nothing more than consumers rather than enthusiasts (not to mention the packs of teenagers who don't give a f about anyone) would ruin this hobby by bringing down the law on everyone. I am seeing outright bans spreading from suburb to suburb. I doubt class 1/2 even survives this. We might end up lucky to even get 250 watts and 16mph instead of outright bans. Just another hobby ruined by the inevitable regulation that follows mass market adoption.
