i'm pivoting to AI (Artificial Incompetence)

in case you need a taste of how fucked the tech industry is right now, I'm being required to use AI at work. if I talk about how it fucks up or overcomplicates basic asks, it's because I "don't know how to use it" which indicates a "lack of growth mindset", and thus poor performance. I've been told this directly to my face, starting immediately.

so not only must I use Claude, I have to cover for Claude's mistakes, and then go the extra mile to pass off my own work as Claude's.

anyway, I need to pay rent, so I guess I'm a slopper now.

at this point, I want to move to a farm and shovel pig shit for the rest of my life.

@AmyZenunim I wonder if this will get tech workers to develop greater class consciousness or no.

BTW, is there a list somewhere of companies using AI (internally or not) so I can avoid them? I really don't want to be taking on the risks associated with poorly-engineered/unengineered technology.

@lykso @AmyZenunim I haven't seen any signs of increased class consciousness, but that's just anecdata from my tiny corner of the world. As for companies using AI, I think the better question is, "which ones aren't using it?" because as far as I can tell they are ALL on the hype train.
