CEOs, embrace torches and pitchforks.

Copilot is shit.

Bro you are literally not necessary, not even the best at what you do. See everyone on codeberg.

But who else is going to micromanage and bully the employees and strut around self-importantly doing jack shit? /s

Codeberg is so nice.

This part really stuck out for me:

This is the latest example of a strange marketing strategy by AI companies. Instead of selling products based on helpful features and letting users decide, executives often deploy scare tactics that essentially warn people they will become obsolete if they don't get on the AI bandwagon.

If hype doesn't work, try threats!

"The Sky Is Falling! Buy My Magic Umbrella!" is a classic hypeman's trick.

I don't get it. AI is a tool. My CEO didn't care about what tools I use, as long as I got the job done. Why do they suddenly think they have to force us to use a certain tool to get the job done? They are clueless, yet they think they know what we need.

AI make money line go up. It's not clueless, he's trying to sell a kind of snake oil (ok, not "snake oil", I don't think AI is entirely bad).

Snake oil is also not entirely bad. The placebo effect actually works.
