alt Hacker NewsI noticed a lot more joy using AI from people at smaller companies or working by themselves :)
I say this as someone self employed that burned almost $1000 on tokens last month. And had. A lot of fun doing it.

Meta is on the extreme other end of this. The article opens with how they're now using AI to monitor how everyone uses their computers.
It's still insane to me that Meta thought this would be a good idea, or that employees would be comfortable with it even though they claim it's only used for anonymous AI training.

Been feeling that energy too, trying so hard to stay at my current big co job for the health insurance. But the draw is pulling me hard.

What’s your ROI for that $1000?

Just wait until Big AI copies those businesses.
No surprise. People like being more productive when they reap some of the benefits of that increased productivity. If you're expected to be 10x more productive but don't get a raise, all you're doing is stuffing money in some executive's pocket while your job security goes down.
