I am LOVING seeing so many AI projects being paused or binned.
Thereās one silver lining in the mass layoffs, they canāt lay off their absurd investment in power, cooling, and hardware. Loss adjusters and liquidators are rubbing their hands with glee.
Also, many silicon spinners are demanding 5 year agreements on production. Itās go big or go home time, and there will be some casualties.
One org I reluctantly work with pivoted their entire operating model to AI and agents, and they royally screwed their staff over.
Theyāre now hiring them as consultants at twice their original salary as everything fell on itās arse, and who knew that go to market suits with a prompt canāt keep infrastructure or business running. Hilariously I know one engineer negotiated a one-sided 12 month contract notice period.
These people are going to get desperate, fast. Fetch the sāmores and let em roast.

@gpshewan @SecurityWriter Thatās what Iām thinking, too. Itās almost as if you can smell it on the air. The stories CEOs are telling about AI have shifted subtly, which makes me think they know whatās coming.

@ramsey @SecurityWriter For me itās not just that, itās the cost/revenue and ancillary stuff that folk just never think about. The environment, ethics, society impact, security and whether it does what it says on the tin are one thing (and valid). But when the sums donāt work out and confidence shiftsā¦thereās no stopping that.

@SecurityWriter luckily, I upgraded my home lab systems and added a bunch of memory a year or two ago.
I'm biding my time, there's gonna be cheap gear for liquidation! $200 rack mount servers for everyone!

@SecurityWriter Okay the time to trade union is now.

@SecurityWriter Okay the time to trade union is now.
@SecurityWriter Being clear here: this is the time to say "Yeah. We are valuble. But also, let us NEVER let this kind of shit happen again. No producing this style of code. No consuming it. We establish a code of ethics, and anyone we outsource to must be included in this."

@gpshewan @ramsey @SecurityWriter And when insurers make sure that policies exclude loss caused by AI errors (and they will), the whole house of cards will collapse.

I've seen so many AI CEOs or people with close relationships to projects driven by AI getting real mad at the lack of positive sentiment to their work too. See https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/10416 and https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/423186#issuecomment-3919469369 -

@gparenti @gpshewan @ramsey @SecurityWriter This is huge. But don't worry, the TOS & EULA you signed to start using the product means you can't sue, and your have to accept arbitration.
The corp lawyers are covering their asses ( assets.)
