Fuck AI

We just had an all hands where they were circlejerking about how incredible “AI” is. Then they started talking about OKRs around using that shit on a regular basis.

On the one hand, I’m more than a little peeved that none of the pointed and cogent concerns that I have raised on personal, professional, hobbyist, sustainability, environmental, public infrastructure, psychological, social, or cultural grounds - backed up with multiple articles and scientific studies that I have provided links to in previous all-hands meetings - have been met with anything more than hand-waving before being simply ignored outright.

On the other hand, I’m just going to make a fucking cron job pointed at a script that hits the LLM API they’re logging usage on, asking it to summarize the contents, intent, capabilities, advantages, and drawbacks of random GitHub repos over a certain SLOC count. There’s a part of me that feels bad for using such a wasteful service like in such a wasteful fashion. But there’s another part of me that is more than happy to waste their fucking money on LLM tokens if they’re gonna try to make me waste my time like that.
