    IMO in situations where there are no good choices, and a range of bad options w/some being less bad than others, the true danger is lying to yourself about context, aka reality.

    I don't believe it ever feels good to choose the lesser of multiple evils, IF we acknowledge that is what we are doing.

    If we lie to ourselves, then yes - the risks you lay out become closer. But if we acknowledge that sometimes resistance requires survival, and we don't forget? Then we have a chance.

    And yeah - none of this is easy.

    And also yes - we all need to define our red lines pro actively if possible, so we recognize them when we see them.

      @funnymonkey And the reality here is that the reason we all decide to work for some asshole that expects shit like this is that some other douchebag will take that position and your sacrifice here actually will NOT result in the employer having nobody to hire and having to sit and negotiate or there being other jobs available from employers that can compete because the people who work there are respected.

      When talking about labor and not IT there's a word for those of us that make that choice.

        @funnymonkey I'm not actually saying people who use AI at work are scabs. If this is the reason why it's OK for you though then that choice is in the same spirit.

        I don't use AI at work but I do support activities that do. Right now I'm doing it because it is helping people in need. So long as I continue to think that I may continue doing this. I've begun to debate it.

        It also is admittedly the easy way forward.

        I do NOT want to be a scab. If that's the last reason left ...

          @fesshole that is genuinely horrific. Those tokens you burn are actual resources in the real world, like water and fossil fuels.

                Satire in 2026 is a very tough gig. It reminds me of the person that set up a fake ICE tip line, and his most brutal satire is when he just repeats what the callers said to him.

                    @fesshole why are you forced to use Ai? I doubt it helps make your job easier

                    Companies are truly blind to what employees and general public actually want tbh

                                if these are the people we will have to general strike with we will never general strike

                                i get it, you don't want to lose your job.

                                what happens when the only jobs are the ones that hurt people?

                                they'll just get better at rationalizing

                                    This is something I have thought about (and observed) a lot over the years.

                                    When I hear tech companies blaming privacy violations on users, and about policy pushing the obligation to address privacy and security issues onto those with the least amount of agency -- these things all feel very similar to me.

                                    I know FessHole is UK and EU based (/me waves -- hello, friend!) but it reminds of the toxic myth of rugged individualism we love here in the US.

                                      Thank you. I have read, I have watched, and I am now terrified.

                                      @RachelC_Y @EI3JDB @funnymonkey @dalias @alexmu when you peek behind the curtain and see that, i think any sane person would find it disturbing.

                                      I mean, the kindergartner's parents.

                                      I have my own stories from the 70s right up, but they pale in comparison. My own experiences just make them credible. The acceleration.

                                      I knew we had not moved past it. I did not realize how much we had not.

                                        Forced to use AI at work, hate it. Usage is monitored so I can't avoid it. I've set up mine to play a Sim City clone. It burns through tokens, making crap cities that quickly go bankrupt. Just been told that I'm getting a bonus for being a top user.
