AI provides cover to lay people off, or else commit constructive dismissal.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructive_dismissal
>In employment law, constructive dismissal occurs when an employee resigns due to the employer creating a hostile work environment.
No employee is resigning when an employer tells the employee they are terminated due to AI replacing them.
Layoffs and attrition happen for reasons that are not positive, AI provides a positive spin.
No, but some are resigning when they're told their bonus is being cut because they didn't use enough AI.
I absolutely will resign if my job becomes 100% generating and reviewing AI generated slop, having to review my coworker's AI slop has already made my job way less fun.
I am my own agent in the world. I don't get any satisfaction from using AI to do my work and offloading my responsibility and my skills to a computer. Computers are tools for me to use, not partners or subordinates
Strongly thinking about going back to school to retrain into something else aside from software. The only thing stopping me at the moment is that I think AI is making every industry and job similarly stupid and fruitless right now so changing lanes will still land me in the "AI pilot" career path
What a shitty time to be alive. I used to love technology. Now I'm coming to loathe it. It is diminishing what it means to be human
Building clusters six servers at a time... that last the order of weeks, appeasing "stakeholders" that are closer to steaks.
Whole lot of empty movement and minds behind these 'investments'. FTE that amounts to contracted, disposed, labor to support The Hype.
We could get this to the point of taking people off the street/putting them to task... but instead, we've collectively found it more valuable to push the spreadsheet along a few cells at a time, together.
Perhaps it's mistaken to localize the BS; it's shared. Soft and tends to spread.
