Unbelievably, this is real advice I've heard from corporate AI experts.
It is included in the guardrails for my orgs copilot integration. Surprisingly, it still hallucinates.
If you ask chatgpt for 100 5 letter words around a single topic, instead of saying it can't give you 100 words it will just start adding 6 letter words and then start cutting off a letter.
It's astounding how much faith people put in this software
Well that's just ridic
Obviously the solution is to tell it to not hallucinate that it isnt hallucinating

I went to a conference a few months ago and the very first speaker gave the following advice with a straight face to a room full of professional software engineers: "Your biggest limitation on your productivity is going to be token management, so just buy as many tokens as you can so you won't even have to think about it." And that guy, supposedly, didn't work for OpenAI or Anthropic.
I kind of hope he's at least getting kickbacks because I would rather he be a secret corporate AI shill than just a submissive gimp for dommy mommy AI industry attempting to recruit more paypigs to her flock. At least that would have more dignity.

"Write program worth 1 million dollars. Do not hallucinate. No mistakes. Good code only. Make secure. No vulnerabilities. Follow all standards. No spaghetti code. No anti-patterns. No deprecated dependencies. Runs fast, and cheap, and completely functionally. Does what it is supposed to. Minimize token use."
Perfect. Iron-clad. Let the profits commence.
This is like not even a parody of what they think lol. It’s so ridiculous.

Imagine all the recalls they didn't do because being sued and settling costs less
That's not actually how recalls (usually) work. Companies don't unilaterally decide when a recall happens or not.
If Monsanto can hide the fact that they paid off scientists to say Glyphosate is safe for 30 years when they knew it caused cancer, I don't know whether I can trust that. I'm sure they have ways to hide recalls to deny, delay, and defend the process...
That depends on how many political “contributions” the company has made.

So scary to realize these business barrons have zero qualms with putting our lives in the hands of untested technology to make a few more buck to light their already full coffers and that it’s already happening with AI
It's because their positions are often like that "rest of the owl" drawing meme, only it makes sense to them because other people do the filling in of the details and solving the problems. So when an AI can produce the early part of that drawing and confidently promises that it can fill in the rest of the owl, they see it as the same as what their teams were doing prior and unironically believe that them saying "ok, go do that" is the important part, so an LLM should be as competent as a team of engineers.
It takes an engineer who knows the material well enough to see that LLM accuracy is incredibly low, even when it seems to be making sense.
I bet AI is especially enticing to those of the "It can't be that hard" mentality.

The American business model is obsessed with cutting costs to raise profits. Increasing market share and developing new streams of revenue all have an investment cost and take time. Cutting labour has no immediate cost and it makes line go up for the next quarter, and that's what their compensation packages are dependent on.
That's why the idea of AI is so attractive to pretty much every CEO, it's the business hack to reduce labour cost that they've been looking for since we outlawed slavery.

Just look at the workers rights movement. Capitalists can, and will crush you like an plump ant under their boot. It's only regulation that gives them a moment's pause.
No company ever has your best interest at heart.
It's scary, but also very unsurprising. Companies haven't seen their workers as actual human beings for many years. That's the bigger problem that is behind all of this.

🤣 How Ford Is Embracing AI To Drive Innovation In The Automotive Industry
Nov 23, 2025, 04:58pm EST
Today, Ford is betting on the next stage of technology innovation--AI. With annual revenues of $185 billion, Ford ranks 19 on the Fortune 1000, and markets automobiles and commercial vehicles across the globe. So, how does a company that pioneered an earlier era of innovation adopt the next wave, manifested by artificial intelligence (AI), to optimize its business operations for the next generation of customers?
Could tell this was forbes just from the hogwash in that excerpt.

There was a brief time in the early 90s when Object-Oriented Programming was still new to the business world. Clueless managers thought it meant somebody could draw a box labeled "Do Payroll" and somehow software would appear. They're doing that same thing now with AI.
Clueless managers and completely misunderstanding new trends, name a more iconic duo.

How did rehire affect pay?
Bingo.
If I were one of those engineers then the only way they'd get me back is by offering me a shit ton more cash.
And even then I'd be actively looking for another job asap because, let's face it, the next time a Ford corporate goon feels they could fire me and replace me with a bag of shit to make their profit line go up then they would do in a heartbeat.
Not sure how it works where you are but in my country companies had started this trend where they began laying off “overpriced” programmers programmers who’d been hired in the dotcom boom, had remained loyal employees for decades and (here’s the real point) were reaching retirement age. They ‘offer a package’ (early retirement) and then manage out anyone who didn’t take it. Comes to pass that these devs have such deep domain expertise alongside their technical abilities that the majority of them get hired back as consultants at what amounts to a name-your-rate deal. Learn from us. Take the package and go freelance.
The one good thing about ai is that it exposes the morons
Funny thing is, its all in the C-suite.
Listen to your engineers for gods sake

It’s amazing how these people can essentially burn billions, trillions combined, even, of dollars on very avoidable mistakes and it’s a “whoopsie” but you ask for a fraction of it to go to the citizens and it’s “a waste of money” or “might not work despite all the evidence from elsewhere”.
And then also the execs get a few million dollars a year in bonuses and such because they’re “so smart and important.”
Well in fairness to ford this is the first time that any company has ever tried to replace all their stuff with AI. There has been no prior attempts and therefore no cautionary tales they could possibly have learnt from. This was an utterly unavoidable mistake and no one needs to be fired over it.

No wonder their trucks and SUVs look like slop.
They didn't buy the hype; they knew it was bullshit from the start. Seriously, do we think upper-level management can't understand such a simple message that we've been repeating for years? ... Of course they knew; they always knew; they got bonuses for pretending not to know.

I mean, Ford was so low quality, how can it get worse?

Language models don't know how to engineer trucks? Who knew?!
rehire to train the AI, then LAY THEM off again and hire cheaper outsourced tech engineers down the line.
The problem is, "training" the AI is also largely a myth. A bunch of idiots in charge unironically think that if you force all your workers to use llms, llm will magically get better. Like, seriously, they believe that.

Let's be clear. The blame shouldn't be on AI but on the fuckwads that made the decision to replace humans.

You wouldn't vibe code a car...
When a car company has this many recalls, it should be enough to automatically ban all of their unsold vehicles from the streets. Until they pass several inspections and audits.
Who knows how many people died or were irreversibly injured due to at least 11 million faulty cars. That number is still probably on the low end.

Poon reportedly pointed to automated tools lacking the training and expertise of veteran technicians - many of whom he said had left the company before their knowledge could be used to improve its tech.
Yikes I’d be looking for another role ASAP. Unfortunately this engineers are not in the UAW union

And within 3-5 years they'll try a full AI production cycle again, because of "improvements and lessons learned" ....
Still shows you how eager they are to ruin our livelihoods as soon as possible. I hate how complacent we are to this threat
