If the AI companies raise their prices 100x tomorrow, or shut down.

@pheonix In the beginning, it was just management and a few "early adopters", but now it's widespread and also comes up all the time in conversations, which is tiring.

@quincy I can only imagine having to navigate that on a day-to-day basis.

@pheonix While I can count myself lucky that no-one tried to mandate it directly ...

@pheonix where is the option for "I will laugh and say 'I told you this was coming'" ?

@pheonix mastodon seems to be quite a bubble..

@pheonix A problem, perhaps that you are alluding to, is that there will be such a drastic system change that changing back would be like going from that combustion engines back to the horse. And yet, about the only farmers still prospering are the Amish and other Old Order Communities.

@pheonix I'm somewhere between 1 and 3. Technically, it would be very easy for me. There's nothing really that I use AI for that I don't already know how to do. However, since AI became common in my workplace, the amount that's expected of me has increased dramatically. The adjustment would come from re-establishing my new level of capacity.

@pheonix How they will shut down my ollama installation?

@pheonix
they have been auditioning an AI to help answer questions at the virtual call center where I work from home. The bosses now have a short hand thumbs up or down emoji if we can trust the answer or no. Guessing they picked that instead of promoting someone to help.

I have yet to see a single thumb up and haven't see it post all day. Probably in timeout somewhere.

@pheonix It'll mostly be dealing with the fallout of every team losing access to their tooling, and resetting ways of working along with expectations.
