Just noticed the JetBrains integration thing in the “GitHub is shoving AI up everyone’s ass” announcement. Uninstalling, cancelling my $250/yr JetBrains IDE subscription, telling them _exactly why_ in the survey. I strongly encourage others who subscribed to the paid versions of JetBrains tools to do the same; companies that forcefeed shitty AI features into otherwise good softeware must be made to feel pain.
@kistaro I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry.
@kistaro My employer is one of said companies. I'm being dragged along with it. Everyone around me is convinced this is going to be wonderful.
you have my sympathies. I work for a megacorporation that is also trying to brand itself on "AI" features and force them into products, internal and external, with varying levels of success. I want my own employer to suffer for doing this so maybe they will realize it is a stupid plan and stop. I wish you the best of luck, and that your employer observes and responds to bad metrics and actually rethinks things in a useful way.
@kistaro @bj
Generative AI being crammed into everything is so damn frustrating.
I work for a storage and DR company and last few earnings calls have always had some dipshit investor asking "how company is going to leverage generative AI beyond generative AI companies need lots of storage."
I hate that generative AI has become the new block and chain buzzword but is capable of a lot more damage.
@wobblewuffess @kistaro @bj it's like this technology being widely adopted purely because people WANT it adopted rather than because it accomplishes anything actually useful
