I Will Fucking Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again — Ludicity (ludic.mataroa.blog)

How stupid do you have to be to believe that only 8% of companies have seen failed AI projects? We can't manage this consistently with CRUD apps and people think that this number isn't laughable? Some companies have seen benefits during the LLM craze, but not 92% of them. 34% of companies report that generative AI specifically has been assisting with strategic decision making? What the actual fuck are you talking about?

....

I don't believe you. No one with a brain believes you, and if your board believes what you just wrote on the survey then they should fire you.

I don't fear Artificial Intelligence, I fear Administrative Idiocy. The managers are the problem.

I know AI can't replace me. But my boss's boss's boss doesn't know that.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Fortunately, it's my job as your boss to convince my boss and boss' boss that AI can't replace you.

We had a candidate spectacularly fail an interview when they used AI and didn't catch the incredibly obvious errors it made. I keep a few examples of that handy to defend my peeps in case my boss or boss's boss decide AI is the way to go.

I hope your actual boss would do that for you.

My boss is a non-technical manager.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm so sorry.

My boss asked if I wanted to be a manager, and I said no, but I'll take the position if offered so it doesn't go to a non-technical person. I wish that was more common elsewhere.

Good luck sir or madame.

Well, my office recently announced that we'll be going from 0 days mandatory in office to 3 days a week. After working fully remote for the last few years, I'll kms before going back, so I'm on the way out anyway.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That sucks. We do 2-days in office, but that was also always the agreement, we were just temporarily remote during COVID (though almost all of us were hired during COVID). My boss tried 3-days in office due to company policy, but we hated it and went back to two.

I cannot stand orgs going back on their word without agreement from the team. I hope you find someplace better.

Thanks, I'm sure I'll land on my feet. I have a pretty unique skillset for IT (Science HPC admin) and I'm thinking about maybe going back to school and doing a Master's.

They'll replace you first, so they can replace your employees.. even though you are clearly right.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Yup. But at least I tried, and I'll have some decent stories for the soup kitchen.

Worst part is some of them aren‘t even idiots, just selfish and reckless. They don‘t care if the company still exists in a year so as long as they can make millions driving it into the ground.
