Hi, my job is to make Powerpoint’s and Excel documents. My role is to define the why, what and how to the engineers who build useful stuff in my team. The skill is not in making catchy presentations, it’s in thinking, researching, finding agreements and deciding. And I’m expected to do that by my team. The worst people in my job line are now relying on AI for everything. Sure they create documents faster than me, but they delegate the thinking, the research, the decision making, to an AI bot that can only mimic a thinking process. It’s a gamble: it’ll be good sometimes, it’ll be incomplete and inaccurate most of the time. I don’t know how to use AI. I use it for basic stuff but even repetitive tasks are full of mistakes and it takes me more time to verify everything afterwards.

… and death rows in the world are full of billionnaires and corrupt politicians, Right??

I’m so glad to be born the year this abomination was abolished in my country. Only fascists/populists wish the death penalty should be brought back in France.

so Europe just needs to ban that single domain? That’s easy :)

Thanks for asking. I found the idea to be an unethical dark pattern, so I made my point, but in companies like these, it’s not enough. So I implemented a light experiment of what was asked, and it validated my hypothesis: it was not solving a real need and was actually not even improving revenue, and that it was indeed leading to a poorer user experience. Since the request was really pushed top down, I still had to move on with so I limited it to the specific population where it would make more money. Who has the most money to spend in cheaper countries? US tourists going to Latin America. Let’s make it more expensive for Americans to stay in a Colombian hotel than for a local. It pleased the small hotel owners, had a positive impact on local tourism… good enough.

Then I moved to a different team and they threw away my work went full on and delivered the whole shit.

years ago, a big boss of an evil hotel company I worked was doing a AMA and got asked “where do we draw the line on ethics?”. His answer was “at the end of the day, if you don’t feel comfortable telling your mother what you did today, then don’t do it” I loved this answer and used this very often.

Then a few months later, he directly made us work on the dirtiest geopricing / yelding features I ever saw. I guess the real question to ask during that day was “where do your mother draw the line on ethics?”
