As far as I can tell there hasn't been any tangible reward in terms of pay increase, promotion or external recruitment from using the cognitive amplifier.
If only it were a paycheck amplifier
Isn't there some way to hack LLMs to convince every manager currently using them to increase pay in order to "streamline" or some other corpo mumbo?
The useful AI is in scientific research and accounts for a fraction of a percentage of electricity used in "AI". It's not sexy. It's not hip. And it's not going to replace any workers, so the tech bros don't care.
Our cogs do not feel amplified.
My dad is saying that he won't hire anyone who doesn't use AI, while he hires engineers from India for pennies.
One of my family members lost their job managing the self checkout, but he can prompt an LLM. Can your dad give him a job?
XD He probably would if he wasn't waiting on a noncomittal (read scammy) investor to come through.
