    Sounds like an opportunity for workers to sabotage the system by using AI too much without increasing productivity. Let the assholes figure it out for themselves.

      Some companies are already firing people to save on salary costs and pay more for AI.

      It seems to be basically crack for the command centers of capitalist companies.

        AI seems like a genius solution for the mediocre and the lazy. I guess all these tech companies are full of mediocre and lazy people in the c-suite.

        Unfortunately it’s a bit of an “emperors new clothes” situation as none of them will admit AI is worse than what they were told

    Bloomberg reports that the company has instituted a new rule that places a monthly $1,500 cap per employee and per agentic coding tool, including Anthropic’s Claude Code or Cursor.

      Wow, imagine if they had put that budget into paying their employees.

      $1500 per employee per agent per month? So assuming that’s between three agents, that’s literally $4500 per employee per month that they’re choosing to waste instead of just paying their employees better…

          Sometimes Lemmy crowd really confuses me. Am I supposed to know what Poe is? Is it not ok to make a joke at its expense?

            Between the comments here and the article itself, there are exactly three mentions of whatever tf it is you’re talking about… all from you.

              It’s literally on the thumbnail… There’s 5 well known AI products and this random thing. Are they trying to make it seem that it’s on the same level?

                Have we really gone from commenting based on intelligently reading the article, to reading only the title, to commenting just based on the generic stock image thumbnail?

        I would say that Uber is a shitty company. Tipping is bs, you should get paid a decent salary and it’s your employer’s responsability to do that.

          Ok… Unfortunately, the current model is absolutely not that. So I’m not going to make the person making Uber deliveries to make ends meet suffer by stiffing them on the tip

                  Yeah I know. I also imagine that’s the #1 way they get stiffed on tips so might be less likely to accept the delivery
