It's just good old offshore galore. Not much pretending anymore.

@cz sure they're going all in with AI we know that but before they can get fully off the ground they're laying off US employees left and My team is now down to five people that were left. I was let go and they are backfilling with people from the Philippines. So no I don't believe that they're cutting hundreds of Philippines jobs not even a bit. I see postings on their career page for Philippines jobs barely any in the US So nice try but we don't believe you
@cz big mistake if your not using seasoned web/API developers to drive your AI adoption.
Here is RAG for you:
A web service that integrates vector databases and returns results based on probability using linguistics.
Web service + vector search + probabilistic language model.
@cz not sure you really understand what AI is. IF you are remotely competent then you understand these statements on what AI really is and why most companies will loose their a$$.
A service endpoint with probabilisitic behavior, backed by massive distributed infrastructure.
Or
A stateless API with a giant lookup space
It’s a service NOT an agent - if you don’t understand this then open your pocket book … your going to pay.
The magic isn’t intelligence it’s the distributed compute behind the endpoint
Also the dipsh-t 'leader' saying we are "creating AI" at this company.
Dude just quit, please. You're so unqualified. Making a sh---y SPA that calls an API endpoint isn't "creating AI."
@cz This is bullsh-t. US managers are being removed and US teams are being moved under offshore managers. Offshore managers are hiring offshore contractors and we had hired literal armies of them within the past few years. Even if we weren't hiring more offshore we still have a bunch sitting around doing nothing to fill in for the US employees being laid off.
And the AI work is 1.) duplicative and 2.) for the most part, useless. Programmatic solutions could easily replace many of these, and many of these don't need to exist with just a basic understanding of how to do some easy technical tasks, and many of these are just bad use-cases for AI. The 1000 AI projects that leaders like to flaunt is them getting grifted to the tune of billions in funding that will go nowhere.
Leader here. There are actually lowering the offshore employees.Many lost their jobs in the RIF last year. And by many I mean, hundreds. They are not offshoring more jobs – they are creating AI. That’s not a bad thing because that is where healthcare is going. My suggestion is become fluent in AI or find a job where AI would not be relevant. Good luck.
We need to find A.I
—when SH says this mean “we need to find another Indian/Irishman for your job.”
