Company that sells random collections of words: People are increasingly asking for random collections of words instead of money!
Now, some tech job candidates have begun asking about what AI compute budget they will have access to if they decide to join. “I am increasingly asked during candidate interviews how much dedicated inference compute they will have to build with Codex,” Thibault Sottiaux, engineering lead at OpenAI’s Codex, the startup’s AI coding service, wrote on X recently.
Big fucking bullshit. No one ever ask for “AI compute budget”, people wants money. Not your coffee, not your foosball game, money.
Guess what you can buy with money? Yeah, that compute time, if desired.
What a fucking load of bullshit.
Don’t pay people enough money, expect them to buy your products with their non existent money.
But that’s just crypto again, isn’t it? They tried the same bullshit.
So let me get this straight. Companies were like “instead of paying one senior dev 300k and 5 junior devs 150k, we can get rid of all the junior devs and give the senior dev AI to do all of the legwork thus saving us 750k.”
And then they found out that AI costs money. So instead of ponying up the 100k in tokens for the senior dev to to their job, they are saying “Hey senior dev, we are taking away your bonus and replacing it with tokens! You can take it or be out of a job, because we refuse to keep anybody on board who doesn’t use AI to replace 5 junior devs”
So these cheap fucks saved 750k, and are upset with the fact that they might only save 650k?
While also destroying the planet to generate shitty code.
I fucking hate this time line.
Hey. AI. Go to the store and buy me food.
Hmmm. Doesn’t work.
What a bunch of fucking idiots.
they are already using AI to screen out applicants, im t surprised they dint do it in the first place.
The chief marketing officer for AI, Bill Ofgoods, thinks this is a great idea and the CFO, Peg Inapoke, agrees. Brooklyn Bridge was unavailable for comment
Gee guys… Did you maybe build a whole bunch of compute capacity for a product no one actually wants, and now you have to find a way to use it for something?
Corporate owned media promoting a story about making you rely on tokens to outwork your coworkers so you don’t lose your job is the dumbest shit I’ve ever read.
I remember when silicon valley used to build products that would help people improve their lives.
The reaper or capitalist enshittification comes for all industries eventually.
There was a brief, coincidental alignment of silicon valley’s goals and human progress.
well put
Oh my god Iran. Just send the drones already
“You can spend your scrip at the company store.”
You burn 16 tokens and what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt.

Tell Berners Lee that I can’t go
For the company.
Maybe instead of food we can be paid in ozempic (to reduce appetite) and a very very tiny amount of food. all humanity would become very skinny, and then theres less health care costs due to obesity.
I should really be in charge here.
So that is why people think Grey aliens are just future humans! They took too much Ozempic and now they need to harvest genes from us to fix their own DNA.
Construction companies should pay bricklayers in bricks and mortar
Uber should pay drivers in gas
Restaurants should pay chefs in raw ingredients
This is a radical idea, but maybe employers should be responsible for providing the supplies and tools their employees need to do their jobs? And the employees can just get money in return for their labor?
ceos get paid in empty promises and bad decisions?
Are arse reamings something they buy and sell, or a form of currency for ceo’s? What about female CEOs? (not that its a huge problem-- maybe those few old-guard female ceos just pay you in money).
“People like you aren’t in for the money!” – always and only said by people who are in for the money
employees can just get money
There’s your problem, right there, money is dangerous, can’t let the rabble have money - they might get too much and then they’d have power, power to disrupt the people who have money…
tbh, i always wondered by contruction industry types werent also paid in housing. like build X highrises you get a unit in one of said highrises
