As far as I can tell there hasn't been any tangible reward in terms of pay increase, promotion or external recruitment from using the cognitive amplifier.

    The useful AI is in scientific research and accounts for a fraction of a percentage of electricity used in "AI". It's not sexy. It's not hip. And it's not going to replace any workers, so the tech bros don't care.

    My dad is saying that he won't hire anyone who doesn't use AI, while he hires engineers from India for pennies.
