Anthropic Claude Tag vs DXC Oasis and your near IT future (Clue: You don't have one)

For anyone who hasn't realised it yet, any external AI used by DXC e.g. Anthropic's Claude Tag, means that everything about DXC's thin layer of "value" will be consumed by the AI.
This quite an irony - The business of DXC taking over IT departments and "leveraging" employees (i.e. shedding) is now being replicated to DXC i.e. DXC's existance is being "leveraged" by Anthropic (as well as all the other SI companies).

When you think about it, whilst this is a disaster for young DXC employees, its a great opportunity for those near retirement. Its no longer about someone leaving DXC for another SI, its about either leaving to work for an end customer or leaving the IT industry all together.

@a8 I don't see what the advantage is there. That small group of dinosaurs isn't generating any revenue, and everyone else is going where people understand what AI is and how to use it.

"I maintain Cobol/assembler code written 50+, 40+, 30+ years ago. Loads of work 5+, 10+ years ahead for me and colleges with 40+ years of experience"

"colleagues" lol

I always wanted to be a dxc employee, and now I is one

@a8 20 years ago ? I maintain Cobol/assembler code written 50+, 40+, 30+ years ago. Loads of work 5+, 10+ years ahead for me and colleges with 40+ years of experience

The one thing DXC has going for it is - legacy thinking clients with legacy systems . Those clients have spend decades holding onto their mainframes, and software written 20 years ago. It takes a lot to convince them to change even the smallest part of it. AI could replace it all, but the clients are unlikely to just replace for the sake of it. It's worked for 20 years, it can work for another decade is how the people we work with they mostly think and operate.

For what Claude Tag is at the moment, look up this on y ou tu be
"Anthropic Ships Claude Tag - Slack Gets a Teammate"

Now imagine this scaled across the entire landscape estate of a customer.
Now image the synergy when scaled across you, and your customers and suppliers
Now imagine the business opportunites for someone/something deciding which companies to buy and sell, why and expected profits
