So this occurred to me to try a couple of days ago, and what a timely post from @selfcare here ... I'm trying out #NoAIFriday - and likely extending it to the weekend too.

You might be forced or feel pressured to use #AI - specifically #LLMs - at work. Your community projects might be #AIpilled as well. But apart from the ethical and environmental reasons why the current LLM proliferation is both bad but also unsustainable -- it's also bad for you personally! It can cause burnout (HBR: https://hbr.org/2026/03/when-using-ai-leads-to-brain-fry); it can cause #CognitiveImpairment (MIT, Cornell via BBC: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd6xz12j6pzo)

So I'm practicing #SelfCare by going cold turkey on Fridays - artisanal coding only (I'll make an exception for #OncallDuty) followed by a mild form of #TechShabbat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_Shabbat) over the weekend

The top 1% of #AIadopting firms, termed “#AIpilled,” spend $7,500 per employee monthly on #AI, significantly less than the average software engineer’s salary. While AI spending is rising, it’s not yet surpassing human costs. https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/10/ai-pilled-firms-spend-7500-per-employee-each-month-on-ai/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

The most AI-obsessed firms are spending roughly $7,500 monthly per employee on AI, per Ramp AI Index. That's not more than an engineer's salary — yet.

@tante it's really depressing. i would love to find some sane people around me. the management proudly and loudly says they are "#AIpilled".

today i was on a meeting where people are supposed to discuss their use-cases and experiences with using LLMs and someone mentioned that they tried to do a financial analysis but the chatbot hallucinated all the results including stock prices. then someone told them they can just explicitly ask it to not make anything up and it will be much better. like, the guys are flipping billions of dollars in investments and real people are getting fired because their work now supposedly can be done by tools that you are supposed to nicely ask to pretty please not make anything up... what the actual fuck.
