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.
@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

@fesshole We have the same BS at our work. I'd love to know what prompt and model you are using for this

@fesshole Use the money buy stamps then use the stamps to send applications for better jobs

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
stop destroying the plane while claiming the only way to survive is by destroying the planet

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.
@funnymonkey @dalias @alexmu @fesshole We keep blaming the marathon runners for running next to bunch of banana peels on the road. We need to start blaming the asshole who threw the banana peels onto the road into the first place. Blame the billionaires who are forcing us to run the rat race

@funnymonkey @dalias @alexmu@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.

THIS. Is fucking genius.

@alexmu @fesshole Ignoring that the story is probably made up because there's an audit trail that'd get them fired, if they're required to use the thing in their job anyway, there is nothing unethical about meeting the requirement in a way that protects themselves from the cognitohazard and deskillling and sabotages the boss's intent. Same harm to planet either way and that's on the employer.

@fesshole I think I will play this game, too. Until “thinking allowed” is back.

@cheezybuffet @fesshole Why? LLMs are frowned upon and companies bought so many expensive “eeehhh eyyyy” plans…
-
@fesshole that is genuinely horrific. Those tokens you burn are actual resources in the real world, like water and fossil fuels.
@alexmu @fesshole id rather burn resources my dipshit employer pays for than starve. like i get what you're saying but trying to lay this at an individuals feet, especially an imaginary one... its not going to help your position which i share and have aspirations for beyond being framed as "woke nagging" and default ignored by normies
-
@dalias @fesshole is it really mandatory? Have you taken it up with the employer? How do your workmates feel about it? Have you talked to them? If the employer is threatening to fire you because you don't use llms then there are labour laws that can protect you (at least in the civilized countries).
Even if you are forced to use llms, you can do it in more productive ways. Use it to save work if you can, and use the spare time to join/form a union, raise awareness with your peers on how this is damaging to their careers, do something that actually has a chance of changing things.
