Nobody forces you to use AI. It has become sort of junk food for the brain. Temptations and ads for it everywhere.

  If you have performance based metrics about your AI usage then you are essentially being forced to use AI (or become unemployed) Plenty of people are experiencing this nowadays The idea that no one is being forced to use AI is nonsense

    That was in the first calendar quarter this year. In the second calendar quarter CEOs started saying AI is too fucking expensive and let's stop doing it.

      You’re now being forced to optimize your AI cost usage and produce the same results as before you cared about it.

    There is no metric a reasonably intelligent person can't sabotage or subvert... ...for example, you can write a script to burn tokens and write the code yourself.

    I’m currently in the middle of this process. I’m finding refusing to be working remarkably well, though I am also in a country with worker protections. Join a union.

    I'm becoming convinced that mandatory AI use is a humiliation ritual, akin to neighboring tribes forcing Hebrews to eat pork.
