I asked #Grok: "What are the chances of success for Elon Musk's / DOGE's plan of rewriting (in two month's time) the SSA's COBOL codebase using AI?"

"[…] the chances of success […] are extremely low, likely in the single-digit percentage range (e.g., 5-10% at best).
This estimate assumes DOGE has exceptional resources and AI capabilities beyond what’s publicly known […] The stakes are high, and the margin for error is razor-thin."

How to out compete any major tech vendor right now: work in the same space as their core products - but just don't put anything AI in the product.

They're all so distracting tickling their own bollocks with AI right now they've completely lost focus on their core products and real customer needs.
