        "Indeed they are. That's why we made a machine to do them for us."
        "You know we could just...stop doing them, right?"
        "And embarrass ourselves before God and man? What a childish thought. Now go back to tending the devotion machine."

              @phantasus closer to the first one
              And not just the "don't use AI at all"
              After somebody pointed out that the client could replace me with someone who uses AI,
              I conceded "if you must use AI, then test it with tests that mean something"

              they could have called my bluff by giving me the resources I asked for
              instead they left me on read for three weeks and then fired me

                    The amazing teams one could make with the phenomenal people discarded by the ai-pillocks.

                      @trochee one could, and someone should. Makes me wish I had literally any fundraising or people-organizing experience.

                        just catching some timeline things that slipped by the past few days - sorry to hear about the layoff. This unemployment jungle is getting crowded ... 😩

                        Boosted ya on the TL, hope there's some fedi hiring traction!
