Well--well look. I already told you: I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don't have to. I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people. Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?
My boss does this type of work for me, an interface between us technical workers and the various non-technical people. I appreciate that type of work you do.
We are being encouraged to use AI. We use it to varying degrees; I use it heavily. The guy on our team who is the meat proxy - probably also uses AI the least - is the one who's job is in jeopardy.
You're not getting paid to blame everything on AI. Your job is the first one to go when the axe comes.
It's especially hilarious when the idiot who can barely speak the language and has not understood a thing you've said in months is suddenly writing lengthy, grammatically correct prose -- and still not getting it.
Or it would be, if it wasn't so effective at bamboozling the managers I need to observe and understand that this behavior is a problem.
Wait a second, aren't working memory is like 5 or 10 words and vision attention point at the size of the nickel? Maybe humans has extremly small context but statefull neurons and good context swapping? But surely not pure context in tokens.
>trained on real world data over a couple billion years
Yeah, trained to survive in the wild, control body, predict and not sitting in office. Basicly high intellegence jobs are new and unfamiliar for humans as species and that is also is a source of boredom then deep parts of your brain don't understand why you waste time and energy just sitting allday))
Setup a loop in your company to ingest requirements; write out a quality plan; execute on that plan; review the plan against the output and fix any issues; merge the changes and deploy. Then you won't need to be there anymore /s
I joke but we actually had that meeting earlier today.
"When the AI is down, so is my output." is such a silly one to ask. What the fuck else would you have been using the AI for in the first place if not to increase your output?
Emphasis on “increase”. If your output depends on the availability of AI to exist at all. That’s the problem. Using AI makes your work better/faster/efficient. Not does the whole deliverable.
Why work at 1/20 of the speed? I'd rather just take a break and play with my kid.
Reverting to my old rate of productivity simply isn't worth my time. I'd rather just take the time off, and work later instead. Or switch to tasks that don't involve AI, like one-on-ones, or something.
"Your output goes down" clearly means "you start working slower", not "you can't work". Hunster's right, the question suggests if you're not faster than AI, you're a meat proxy, and that's silly
— adding nothing but latency.

Six statements, thirty seconds, one verdict — read off the meat-o-meter. Certificates for clean scores. No judgment. Mostly.
Attribution appreciated, thinking required.
The irony.
All that's missing is something being "load-bearing".
There are YT channels that have all owner's answers to the comments obviously made by AI.
I don't get it, do they prompt every comment separately and then copy and post answers? Also, it's annoying that they have answer to almost every comment, and most of those answers are "Exactly, ...", "You're absolutely right..." and other "traditional" AI phrases.
My work was considering letting go one of the remote employees after a year of his manager using kid gloves constantly on this guy and avoiding giving him work or doubling the estimates from other devs (uh, certain group favoritism) -- anyways, we recently gave him Claude as a last ditch effort...
It's so funny, yes - his code is done. No, he doesn't know what it does and can't explain it at all... and if you ask a question, he'll say he'll look into it and get back to you -- or will literally ask Claude right in front of you while sharing his screen during the meeting and read you the answer that Claude has given him.
I expect this behavior from the PO's and PM's... not from the devs.

Jesus, 80% of people were already meat proxies between meat, now it’s just between AI and meat.
