🎈 Coinbase CEO explains why he fired engineers who didn’t try AI immediately | TechCrunch

“I jumped on this call on Saturday and there were a couple people that had not done it. Some of them had a good reason, because they were just getting back from some trip or something, and some of them didn’t [have a good reason]. And they got fired.”

@jbz A "strategic" leader cannot figure out how to do a rollout of technology they deem essential to the company, so they threaten and fire. Gross.

@jbz Basically, hang a peasant and all the rest will fall in line through fear.

Had to lookup "Coinbase" in Wikipedia. Crypto-currency BS, as expected.

I'ld fire myself if working for such a company. Or for one that is using Slack.

@jbz AI will become daily business for developers. Not because it is effective of increases performance. Just because it is so fucking expensive that they will fire you if they paid for it and you don’t use it.

So it doesn't matter what the quality of their work is just that they use AI to do it?

@jbz because firing people is the only thing that really differentiates him from a LLM?
