Boris Cherny Ties AI Lag to 1996 Computerization Study

Cherny draws on a Harvard Business Review study from 1996 that examined the early period of computerization. He states that the article's argument has immense parallels to the present. The tweet includes an attached video clip. All details come directly from the content of the post by Paul, which attributes the core explanation to Cherny.
