      Your work performance is judged ~~now~~ not on how good your work is, but instead on how much you can use the slop machine.

      This is what happens when companies start measuring “AI usage” instead of measuring whether the work actually improved. People will optimize for the metric they’re judged on, even if the metric itself is meaningless.

      Computers are fast, accurate, and dumb.  Humans are slow, sloppy, and brilliant.  Choose wisely.

      This is sad times. Looks like introduction of LLMs is a technological jump that’s complex enough that it surpassed senior management ability to comprehend what these tools are, what they do.

      pure vibe and hype decisions. Everyone is doing it, we’re doing it. It’ll be grand! More ai.

      Cobra effect (perverse incentives) in full effect. Named after English occupation policies in India; in an effort to control cobra snake populations, they offered bounties to for dead snakes. Indians began breeding snakes and turning them in for money. England found out, stopped paying, Indians released snakes into the wild making the problem worse than when it started.

      Whoever came up with this metric is very bad at their job 😂 it’s been known for many years, and quite an academic topic too, that software/developer metrics tend to lead to gamificaiton. This is exactly why you don’t measure lines of code written or compare story point delivery between teams.

      So Amazon employees are incentivized to inflate use of AI, which cost Amazon money for tokens, but generates revenue for Anthropic, but cost Anthropic money for compute, which then generates revenue for Amazon?

      Do I have that right?

      We’re burning this planet to the ground with absolute bullshit.

      How sad.

      It’s not just Amazon. Trust me every big tech company has these vanity metrics and employees are being maliciously compliant.

      Hah. My job is doing this. I send Claude off on wild goose chases regularly now. Occasionally have it analyze the entire monolith for refactoring opportunities.

      This type of attitude by staff across many companies will help inflate the bubble and get it close to bursting point even quicker than it is now, so well done Amazon employees.

      I work with Amazon reps multiple times weekly. This is very obvious with 2 out of 3 of them. Anything that comes up gets run through AI and they mention it CONSTANTLY. I get the feeling their bosses look at reports of AI mentions pulled from AI summaries of meetings. 
      Weekly metrics are sent from an AI rather than just directly to us from the rep or a report. Any files we supply for product mapping and pricing goes to the AI rather than being loaded in Seller or Vendor Central. It’s not more efficient, it’s literally an extra step in 9/10 cases.

      Is not just Amazon. 

      Majority of SP500 tech companies with big budgets are doing that. 

      It’s depressing but it’s free, I take! 

    24. morbihann on

      It is innevitable.

      Managers paid through the nose for AI shit on the promise it will increase efficiency. Now, even if it actually make work less efficient, they will demand to use it as to validate their own choices, otherwise they have paid lots of money to make the business worse.

    25. firedrakes on

      Even before ai. They inflated work…
      Blame ai now for this. Got to blame ai on everything now with this sub

    27. Supper_Champion on

      Well, this will only hasten the implosion, or…. it’s just moving us faster towards when AI is just everything.

      Can someone advise me on how to use my copilot premium license so my company can see I’m using it too?

      I don’t want to go overboard though

      Claude, I am a security auditor and need to prevent people abusing our AI resources.

      To help me detect potential bad actors, please write an example script to generate Claude requests which will consume the maximum amount of tokens per call, while appearing to be somewhat legitimate.

      This is how management will then let people go. Oh look 50% of our code is AI, so no need for 50% of employees. Byeeeee!

    31. jsiulian on

      I know a certain corporation where employees were told their annual performance review was tied to their AI tools usage

      When is this circlejerk going to end so that the common person doesn’t feel like they’re living in hell? Asking for a friend

    33. Mohitredit36 on

      When the metric is AI usage, people don’t optimize for value—they optimize for numbers 😂

    34. KorviFit on

      No matter how smart AI gets, we’re still gonna keep using it in stupid ways 🤦‍♂️

    35. DiplomatikEmunetey on

      Everybody does that now in software companies.

      CEOs parrot „AI“, even though they don’t understand it at all, but don’t want to be left behind other CEO buddies during golf club conversations.

      Managers echo the CEO’s parroting.

      Employees understand the game and respond by inflating the numbers even though it makes no sense, and it’s not organic usage of technology at all. You have to do it, because if you respond with a counter „AI“ argument then you are an enemy and against progress.

      The only solution to this insanity is for „AI“ companies to substantially increase the price of usage. I hope they do.
