I can use the scrub bar to skip around, make it faster or slower. An AI agent for this purpose is pretty close to a scripted demo and so this gives you sort of the worst of both worlds: it almost like a video but you can't skip around, it's almost like a demo but you are talking to a brainless robot.
I think your business model is probably in making it easier for people to generate demo videos. That would be more useful. I've created those, and it's challenging.
It definitely could be foreign influence. It also could be US companies/campaigns (same thing...) outsourcing their astroturfing to other countries to save money.
If you have other people working at your company or investors, politics will come into play.
It's rare to have a CEO that can decide things 100% by themselves and still retain talented employees. It's also super rare to have investors with zero desire to determine a company's direction.
Yeah, and you can also get rid of local politics by moving to the countryside and homesteading. And you can bypass national politics by homesteading on a ship or an island that nobody cares about. And you can just move to a different planet to escape global politics. But any group of people will develop some form of politics, and to do anything meaningful longterm, you need a group of people, not just an individual, why not get better at politics? It is inevitable you will have to take part in them.
I used to run my own business when I was a child, and made a lot of money from it. Paid my way through school with my earnings. There was no sales or marketing, and all I did was product and engineering, and at no point was I politicking. So no, it's possible (albeit difficult) to not be part of the meat grinder, I have done it.
Sure, to some degree it will always be there. But company size and careerist culture - both local to the company and differences between countries - makes it vastly different in presence.
This is because very few people have even an extremely rough understanding of the difficulties our nation (and world) are facing. This is an very difficult situation for a democracy. When people are confused about important matters, the most reassuring thing is to be told that there is a fairly simple and understandable solution, and that they should just let the adults get in there and solve it. People will always vote for people who say these things. The reality is that we've gotten ourselves into knots upon knots upon knots.
Many of the same issues would equally trip up none AI project. One reason these project might fail is because, like so many other things in business, AI is thrown at a project to cover up organisations short coming, terrible procedures, poor data management and many other issues.
I'm not the biggest fan of current AI technology, but claiming that it's a failure because it doesn't magically solves your problems, which was always more organisations/managerial in nature rather than technical, is a little disingenuous.
