I don't think they are even going to allow them to use these credits at home honestly, the whole idea is just that being able to claim that a previous job gave you $X in AI credits is valuable for a resume and and so counts as compensation. They aren't even talking about AI companies themselves doing this, it's speculation about other companies spending 100k a year per worker on AI and why that would be worth it. Kind of what you would expect from an article that is mostly about things people said on LinkedIn I guess.
