AI is encouraged at work but not enforced.
Managers don’t talk about forcing its use at all here.
I think in two months the one time it was mentioned in a meeting was someone putting company info into a public AI instead of the secure self hosted one. That was idiotic of them especially considering our proxy is setup to display a splash page warning with company policy before continuing to public LMM services.
It’s a perfect stance for a company. There’s no token tracking, incentive or demerit for the use of AI. Just announcements on proper use and providing secure resources. They want to protect IP (Intellectual Property).
That said I tried using it to code as a accelerator. Claude did the job but it’s not consistent. I had to go back and debug some code and there’s no consistency in it’s coding sections. It’s hard to read through and therefore hard to maintain.
I resorted to providing example code for it to follow and it still adds extra bullshit.
Maybe I need to get better at prompting but it’s really just faster to code myself.
I picked up some cheap wifi cameras on sale. They’re battery powered ones with IR, internal memory and solar panels for $40.
The issue is the baked in cloud backup is a service. I need to finally setup Homeassistant to hope I can offload to a NAS or cloud on my own vs $5/camera. I want to own my videos.
