Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

as someone who does this, i just keep my mouth shut. i smile and attend all of the AI meetings and its assumed i use all of the AI slop that my employer has made abundantly clear that ut is extremely expensive and to tell them if i dont use it.

i guess i do use it after all. having my boss assume i use it because its available to me and its expensive is usage, just not direct usage.

I hate that I’m in a position where I have to monitor people’s adoption of AI at work. I’d much rather they not use if they don’t feel a need

Depending on how AI-pilled your boss is, maybe you could just "ask the AI" if it is being used. If the magic eight ball says "yes", then it's being used, and everybody should be happy.
