There's a compelling way to think about AI project trajectories: the AI Peter Principle. Basically, every AI-driven initiative accelerates straight toward the ceiling of what its underlying model can actually do. Once you hit that competence boundary, the project flatlines—no amount of engineering can push past the model's inherent limitations. It's a harsh reality check for teams banking on pure acceleration.

Constantly hyping up model ceilings, but it all comes down to training data and compute power anyway. There's still a huge amount of room for engineering optimization.

ngl this AI peter principle thing hits different... it's basically the model's ceiling acting like a hard fork, right? no amount of throwing engineers at it breaks the protocol limit. reminds me of watching projects frontrun their own competence boundaries then wonder why they hit a wall. the real dark forest is thinking you can engineer around fundamental model limitations lmao
