Makes me wonder if we shouldn’t replace a lot of C-suite employees with AI.

What a poorly written article. “we did $34 billion in AI-optimized server orders in Q4, which tapped us up to $64 billion for the full year" and then "Fourth-quarter AI server revenue alone surged 342% to $9 billion." Which is it? $34 billion in Q4 or $9 billion in Q4 (it's the latter). And this line "In the span of two years, Dell quietly built a $25 billion AI infrastructure business from scratch." Yeah, we didn't have servers or storage prior and we had never put GPUs in them until a year after ChatGPT launched. Right place, right time, that's it. Nothing miraculous about it and nothing "built from scratch" over the last two years, just surging demand. Completely id--tic writer.
@OP At Dell you don't need to replace our C-suite clowns with AI, you could replace them with potatoes and still be better off.
I've seen interviews where they make mention of CFOs using AI to run things. In the case of the CFO, you still need someone with knowledge to direct things via your AI staff.
@a6 no, it isn't. NASDAQ is at +0.01
@a1 the whole market is down.
irony is shares dropped 1% ... after announcement
