Oct 6, 2026, 3:59 PMAt my previous company there was an engineering meeting where we were told we "need to find uses for AI". You know, a solution in need of a problem. No one was asking for it and no one wants it. You may not know this about pilots but they generally want 100% correct information.
I was feeling spicy so I asked what the cost/benefit analysis was on implementing something and I got back the polite version of "shut up, leadership wants this" and "We didn't do one". So, you know, zero thought put into it. Turns out it was probably to drive the sale of the company for a higher dollar amount.
Then they laid off most of the engineers after the sale. Thanks for making us richer, now get fucked.
