Marc Benioff says “AI is doing 30% to 50% of the work at Salesforce”, like software engineering and customer service, and its AI product has hit ~93% accuracy
This ratio sounds hard to fathom but if true I expect shareholders will push to see increased business results or layoffs as they have 30%-50% more employees than they need. Brutus / @itsillegaltobemean : I promise you, you can do a little bit of journalism as a treat. you don't just have to repost obvious lies all day. [embedded post] Jolo / @jo10.net : Sure, but this isn't the _only_ reason I've stopped using it. [embedded post] @thomaspowell.com : Adjusted by hourly rate of the person working, that means that GPT-41 is making 2/3rds of the leadership decisions now. [embedded post] @trickycrayon : Yeah and my friend lost his job over it. — And also, I'm absolutely sure that this is not fucking true. [embedded post] Ben Birdsall / @elephony : A) This is an obvious lie — B) Is this why Heroku, Salesforce's cloud service, had a completely unacceptable 12 hour downtime two weeks ago? [embedded post] Mike / @zutart : If you thought Salesforce was an expensive bloated piece of shit before, get ready cause they're about to prove it can and will get worse lol [embedded post] @octocryptid : Just because it's doing 90% of your work, Marc, doesn't mean it's doing so for others. Also Salesforce is dogwater [embedded post] @etymon : If this can be confirmed, short Salesforce. [embedded post] @patricksaxton : More mounting evidence that ceos are really just the media mouth piece and that maybe all the shit they sold us before was also a lie. [embedded post] @addyct : no it doesn't. and if it “does”, the other 50-70% is mostly humans unfucking things [embedded post] @philkinzler : It's easy to make this bogus claim because nobody actually knows what Salesforce does. [embedded post] Brian Floyd / @brianmfloyd : 1. this is a flat out lie — 2. even if it was true it makes you and your company look dumber, like a useless husk of whatever it was that it did before. running a potemkin company [embedded post] Scott / @smadin.net : This is obviously not really true, but if I were a business that used Salesforce, just him making this claim would be grounds for me to start the process of migrating to a competitor absolutely as soon as possible [embedded post] Steve Kovach / @stevekovach : I am deeply skeptical of this claim. [embedded post] Jason D. Salvagni / @salvagni.org : bullshit it is [embedded post] Billy / @billyyork : Lol — I wonder how the actual employees doing the actual work feel about this. [embedded post] David Adams / @daveadams : I mean, this is just a straight-up lie. Wonder what it signals that they are so desperate to make this claim. [embedded post] Camilo / @cam.bio : Meanwhile Slack is asking for full-enterprise-cost subscriptsion from the communities that built their brand like Techqueria and Rands Leadership Slack [embedded post] Jay Gruber / @jaydgruber : We need tech unions so badly. Imagine some workers providing a counterfactual to one of these bullshit claims Corey Quinn / @quinnypig.com : It shows.
