At my company we received an email telling us to not use AI for unnecessary tasks. Of course this is after they crammed AI down our throats.
But I bet a fat nickel that they also track token usage and will recognize the top user each month as an “AI Super Hero” or some other nonsensical bullshit.
Headline sucks; it blames workers when this is a management problem.
Hey guys, let’s make everyone use a product that is going to increase our cost by 30% -Dumbest timeline ever
It’s true happened just this week at work. We are looking into openrouter models now no more anthropic
I had a revelation the other day. Our IT team (top 500 US company) had an MS exec come in and pitch to the entire leadership team (100s of people) on the MS AI strategy and what it could mean for us. 100% sales pitch and corporate bullshit but our execs sucked this guy’s dick so fucking hard. And it hit me… We’re not a tech company. These IT professionals got stuck in this backward company and wish they were working for one of the big five - where the cool kids work. They don’t give any shits about how or whether AI works at a real level, they’re just cosplaying like they are big time tech bros. That’s it, full stop.
The more you take logic out of it the more it makes sense.
We thought the goal of every company was to generate profits. We were wrong. The real goal is to stroke management ego.
I did the same to learn. Now I know its limitations and minimize it, too. Probably because it’s a tool.
