  • Armstrong emphasized AI’s importance at work, aiming for 50% AI-written code by the end of the quarter.
  • AI adoption pressure is growing across industries, with leaders at Google telling employees they expect them to use the tools.

It should be mandated that top level executives be replaced with AI.

This would save companies more money than doing this with any other type of employee.

Malicious compliance time, just give him 100% AI written code and cash checks while doing nothing

There are better and more valid criticisms that don’t have splash damage for people with the same condition.

Apologies, you’re right. I changed it up

Armstrong said his “heavy-handed” approach sent a message to employees that AI is something to lean into and learn about.

Dumbass that doesn’t know what his employees even do harmed his company and destroyed morale so he can feel like a big man

telling engineers that they didn’t have to use the tools on a daily basis yet but “at least onboard by the end of the week.”

Even though I think forced AI adoption is foolish, the CEO wasn’t asking for much here, merely that employees get their accounts set up. If you straight up refuse to do what the boss tells you to do, expect to get fired.
