They're still clinging to a desperate hope that AI replaces the human workforce. It's not about the "performance improvement" unless you're an idiot CEO that bought into the whitewashed aspect of the lie, or a worker sheep that is helping sharpen the knife for your own slaughter.

People are producing worse quality with AI, but they're proving that you can remove the human and produce something and that's all the Epstein class cares about. Take Roku for example, slop 24/7 feed with slop ai advertisements. It's an experiment. It might be bad, but you don't need humans anymore, no liability no healthcare no pesky discrimination lawsuits no insurance necessary, no sick days no recruiters no 2 weeks notice no people to manage no management. Just pure ownership of passive income production.

Well, that's what they hope for. They hope eventually consumers care to watch the slop. They hope that the next generation likes slop cartoons. They hope slop advertising gets some percentage of sales that the real shit does. If it does at all, it means turning what used to be a very volatile active income into passive income you can just farm and start spewing more slop out.

Now the problem is that everyone thinks they can be the slop farmer so every idiot CEO is pulling the slop lever trying to "increase productivity". Who's gonna pay for it? Well shit they don't care, as long as they end up not needing human workers. Not their problem. They think the market will solve that magically.

So no they could give a fuck less about your company culture and the benefits it provides. They want to eliminate your entire culture. It's not about productivity. Never was. It was always about eating the lower classes and fattening them up with AI slop.

ha, nice pic

Its hilarious to me that before AI, I would suggest we refactor our code base to make it more readable and easier to understand and would get all the excuses. "Oh we don't have the time". " we could introduce bugs". "We would need to test that"

Now when I mention to make the code easier for an LLM to understand, they're chomping at the bit for it.

Weird website.

I agree with the statement though.

But it would require employers to actually invest in their offices/workers. And possibly be more independent of whatever the shareholders dictate.

Haha, imagine. A business model that includes selling a product, to customers.

This is true not just for AI, but also adding more engineers to a project that isn't going well. No matter how many resources you throw at it, it will continue to be slowed down by the underlying problems with the team or company culture.

definitely, I joined a company whose culture was toxic as hell. I didn't regret leaving it
