Obviously he would have shared them already if they aligned with his abusive rhetoric.
I really think -10x is accurate if we're considering the systemic effort it takes to manage the torrent of slop produced by AI addicts and true believers. These AI developers are cancerous to our organizations and…
Just do it. AI chatbots, like social media, condition you to become addicted to short-timescale intermittent reinforcement. You need to break out of the dopamine spell and do something hard.

I'm sorry that you've been tricked. Give up the ghost before you ruin your reputation more than you already have.

Your bio says that you're a CTO. If you spent millions on AI contracts, you're a mark and you don't deserve your job.
> I have below average prompt frequency because I know crazy shit like #!/bin/bash and ps aux. It's so goddamn insane. I think AI made everyone so dumb that I'm a 10x engineer now.
Frankly, it seems obvious to me that AI has negative ROI (0.25x as efficient as the old way? 0.125x as efficient as the old way? 0.0625x as efficient as the old way?) AI has created a generation of 0.125x engineers.
Do you have a rebuttal or are you just mad that people don't like AI? It sucks at generating code and AI true believers have made my job hell.

If you don't accept my opinion as your own you're going to lose your job and become a member of a permanent underclass.
