@soller@floss.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr writes and speaks of "tech workers" and their lack of organization compared to other trades. Sadly, we've really missed the window of opportunity for organizing whilst holding all the power.

@soller I'm in the being-forced-to-use-AI camp now. The job-hunting pipeline is completely destroyed and I can't break through despite more than 10 years of solving hard problems in San Francisco Bay Area companies.

@soller i resigned today for this exact reason, among other things. The company I work for has gone completely nuts, changed its name to "{company} AI", everyone is pushed towards "using LLMs to boost productivity", even code reviews are done by LLMs and all the software products we work on are wrappers around LLMs. Might be the greatest mistake of my life, but it just feels right.

@soller In my job, LLM use is banned because the software and data is covered by an NDA and export controls. Could use a local LLM but my workstation is too old and short of memory. And I wouldn't want it anyway. But if I need to search for a new job at any point, my lack of experience with AI may be a problem.

@soller also privelaged to be able to ignore them generally. I'm young and if I don't embrace LLMs (while also somehow learning) I'm basically killing my future career :(
