“Historically, once AI works it's just software.”

AI systems are more complicated than traditional software.

I believe they will have 5 primary job specialization groups.

1.) Software engineer (builder)

2.) Product Manager (leader)

The Department of Government Efficiency, for example

How it started // how it's going

Judge saves the CFPB, for now CFPB workers can get back to work.

One example is the CFPB.
