@GossiTheDog Have we talked to the CEO of peanut butter yet?

"Yes every person should likely eat 5kgs of peanut butter every day"

[johnofrobotz@mastodon.girolab.foo]

@GossiTheDog wait, wait...I got lost when he said "a $500,000 engineer".

@GossiTheDog JFC. Is he ‍, or just 🥴?

[jackemled@furry.engineer]

@GossiTheDog So they really just want people to stop working?

[idlebrain@infosec.exchange]

@GossiTheDog these techbros have gone round the bend, lost the plot, and fallen of their rockers, all at the same time...

Absolute jibbering insanity.

@GossiTheDo "What if we could take assuming that people with bigger fiefdoms are more important and apply it to the ones who don't even have direct reports?"

Someone may have been in management a little too long.

@GossiTheDog
Who are these $500,000 engineers?

Tell me you have no clue what your employees need to do their jobs (or what their jobs are) without....

@GossiTheDog This is the most wild manosphere-to-techbro sentence I ever heard. Idiotic to idiotic ideology.
I guess stupid ideas translate well?

@technically_good @GossiTheDog if you're not eating 5% of your body weight in peanuts every day, and aiming to weigh 200KG by 2028, you're not nutmaxxing, you're nutlosing

@GossiTheDog 500,000? I need a raise

Via Ed Zitron's newsletter. Looks like exactly this happened at Uber.

"""
The Information’s Laura Bratton also reported last week that Uber had managed to blow through its entire AI budget for the year a few months into 2026:

Uber’s surging use of AI coding tools, particularly Anthropic’s Claude Code, has maxed out its full year AI budget just a few months into 2026, according to chief technology officer Praveen Neppalli Naga.

“I'm back to the drawing board because the budget I thought I would need is blown away already,” Neppalli Naga said in an interview.

Jensen has no IDEA how many tokens I could spend.

[muddle@infosec.exchange]

@johnofrobotz @GossiTheDog It's one engineer. How much could it cost? $500,000?

@GossiTheDog this really is the dumbest timeline.

@faraiwe @GossiTheDog

im struggling to understand why people are not acquiring weapons and killing these pieces of shit already. it seems to me to be very obvious that of youre on the side of humanity, then a very clear message needs to be sent to the elite and the gov that the people will not tollerate being made redundant.

[renardboy@mastodon.social]

@GossiTheDog you just know someone's full of shit if they use the word "maxxing" with two exes.
