I said the bar was very low. When it comes to Ai use I am very clear with everyone where I stand. I’m not out here throwing molotov cocktails at data centres but I’m also not expecting it of anyone else, either. Saying “no” to forced Ai use is not “charging the bastille” and if you’re equating it to that then you can maybe see what I’m talking about.
I’m guessing you don’t actually work in a corporation because you don’t get to say no to things. Management come up with their often dumb ideas, and you have to go along with them.
I got fired from my last job because I didn’t tell the seniors they were special boys. I very politely told an engineer he had to update his building code and when I eventually had to tell him that I couldn’t work on his project if he wasn’t going to follow the current legal standards it was me who got spoken to about “insubordination”.
The only reason you “can’t” say no is because everyone together believes they can’t and actively, or even simply passively, discourages others from doing it. The only true power that these people have is what is given to them, they aren’t wizards.
Because it’s not a hill worth dying on. They just want us to use a piece of software, they’re not asking me to kill a basket full of kittens.
It really is, though. Ai is not just “a piece of software”, and it’s not even helpful. People can’t stand up against fucking anything these days.
I see and you are charging the Bastille?
You do understand whining on the internet doesn’t count as resistance right.
