ulterno comments on Child labour with 10 years of experience, 'AI-native' accepting 250k lines of Cursor code

I really like it when company representatives openly boast their use of AI.

Makes it easy for me to put in a list of "Do not buy from" companies.

He's explicitly selling AI based solutions, so luckily everyone sensible skips over that right away.

I can't imagine integrating AI to my codebases to a meaningful degree. I've worked mostly with health or financial syatems. Accuracy is of utmost importance. Imagine your paycheck is half what it should be because of AI.

If that were to happen it won't be due to AI, it would be them using AI as a scapegoat.
Because they would definitely make sure to add a check to make sure I didn't get more than that.
Even if they replace you with AI, they will make sure to call you back and pay you 10x your time for that 1 thing.

The company doing the payroll software isn't the company paying you though

I was thinking about payment processors and banks.
They might debit more from the payer's account and credit less to the payee's account and that way at the end of the FY, they will have this happy coincidence of having higher than anticipated credit from the Reserve Bank.
