So much for DARE program. (TikTok screencap)

DARE promised me free drugs. What a letdown.
This is why I always laughed around Halloween when the news tries to scare people that drugs are being put into candy.
Drug dealers aren’t exactly known for just handing out product for free.
And sexy felines.
You lied to me!
I must be lucky—I’ve run into free drugs heaps of times in my life! It helps having a long phase as an outgoing rave kid.
Yeah, I look back and think about how I kinda got lucky that they were just the things I was looking for versus some scary shit, but there was a good decade where I got plenty for free. And I’m a dude.
Shit, I’ll throw an edit in here. I saw Rusko in Philly (RIP EFactory) and got kicked in the face by a crowd surfer, and I can’t stand crowd surfers to begin with. And this girl who was a friend of a friend comes, wipes the blood off my face onto the shirt I have on, and goes in her purse, grabs something, pops it into my mouth, and gives me water. Like some sort of medicine woman. Lemme tell you though, all my ails went away, believe it or not.
Yeah my manager is tracking my token usage. But not my hemp usage
I wish my manager would assign me toke quotas instead of token quotas.
Sellin’ black market tokens 🎶
I’m a software developer and those who use AI are slower than me lmao
My colleagues use it extensively for coding, I use it barely and we are about the same speed but their code is absolute shit AI slop.
If you know what you’re doing, nothing is faster (with a good autocomplete it’s even faster).
But are you cheap to hire? Checkmate anti AI people! /s
Yeah, i find it’s a lot quicker to fix AI script than write one from scratch. AI logic isn’t the worst, execution where it can REALLY trip up if you give it wrong prompt.
Hell, i had used straight up AI scripts in prod because it’s just 100 lines of code and I would’ve written it the same way. Our ERP instance has roughly 300 scripts, most written by me. I know how to code but some times? I really can’t be bothered to write something simple as “take these two fields, calculate the difference, do it for all line items and write total into this field”. AI won’t do something as stupid as do it on change, it know something like this is for after submit.
The future is bright and I do think AI will be a net benefit for my role in the long run if this is what it can do now.
Also parsing 10k lines of debug? It’s a champ. I wouldn’t be able to open excel and filter by the script, user and date by the time Ai already has it figured out.
I get skepticism and then there’s the unemployed know it all… it’s a tool, if you can’t use the tool, it doesn’t make the tool bad.
Fair.
This is so accurate. And, I had “friends” back in high school, who were very much into meth and very much into sharing.
But every single big meeting at work, is just about AI. it’s just a sales pitch, nothing specific. One of the senior managers emails multiple times a week about fake “wins” due to AI. How, because of AI, some random API is now 4x better! (He doesn’t know what API is…) When I teams opens up, it’s just “AI Bootcamps” plastered everywhere. The intranet homepage, 3 of the 5 things on the carousel is just AI. Multiple “demo days” have just been people showing how they’ve been fucking around in AI and not doing work.
Someone in mgmt, has made it a goal for more AI usage. Put teams on blast who weren’t “using it enough”. Fake metrics of how much good code it’s generated (with no actual examples of course). And yeah, now they’re tracking usage to ensure we get enough AI “touches” a month. They’re monitoring our badge-in (due to RTO) and now they’re monitoring AI adoption and usage.
But just ignore the massive outsourcing to India/SEA… no need to worry about that.
It’s funny how this could be my post and we very likely don’t work at the same company.
Its funny that there is even a physiology diagnosis for being addicted to AI. Just because you can profit from AI in shady ways doesn’t make you not a fraudster. Didn’t 60 minutes have a segment about China kids profiting from it? How is that not child labor.
I get paid to encourage people to use it at work. I’m a problem, creating more problems to solve my own problems.
I use it at my corporate job to do most of my job now. I still get paid the same regardless if i try harder (without any rewards) or submit to burnout and let the standards slip. Fuck em.
Reminds me of some funny old posts on r/sysadmin of greybeards who had essentially automated their entire jobs and life in perl lol.
Best one was a script that would auto text message his wife he would be coming home late if he still had an active terminal session.
There was a recent post around here or reddit that was about management trying to gauge performance via AI use, and how they had caught on to the token spending tricks people were using, but honestly it doesn’t seem that hard to fake around it if it ever came up.
Just throw some agent work at it like codex and watch it burn tokens running grep lol.
Yea because they are literally threatening to make you homeless and die or use this pedophile AI mass surveillance bull shit that will literally kill all life on earth
Find us the value for our stockholders, slaves!
but why, it’s so great!?

This stuff is expressly forbidden in my workplace.
Really intrusive to take the AI pee-test every six months. But that’s what it takes to maintain my security clearance, do whatchagonnado
I feel about the same amount of pressure honestly, which is to say none.
Both times I’m making choices based on my own observations, the difference being that I wanted to do some drugs because they seemed mostly harmless and fun (they were) and I don’t use any ai stuff because it seems completely useless to me (it is).
You should be immune based on all the peer pressure videos you watched then.
