Silicon Valley's biggest ever 'dogfooding' experiment has begun. The implications are huge.

Silicon Valley tech companies are conducting their largest dogfooding experiment, testing language models and generative AI tools within their own organizations. The outcome will determine the success of AI products and potentially impact the operations and workforce of Big Tech companies. Google has introduced an AI model named Goose internally to aid software code writing, while Microsoft has launched its 365 Copilot AI upgrade to improve employee productivity. If successful, these AI technologies could automate tasks, leading to job losses or increased productivity with fewer employees. The future of highly paid tech jobs remains uncertain.
