That’s stupid. That’s like saying “instead of paying you a livable wage, here’s some pants! I mean you need to wear pants for work right? You can use them at home too!”

Mf really out here thinking we use AI let alone wear pants in our own dang home. We want to cold hard cash! 💶💶💶!!! Lol

    I don't think they are even going to allow them to use these credits at home honestly, the whole idea is just that being able to claim that a previous job gave you $X in AI credits is valuable for a resume and and so counts as compensation. They aren't even talking about AI companies themselves doing this, it's speculation about other companies spending 100k a year per worker on AI and why that would be worth it. Kind of what you would expect from an article that is mostly about things people said on LinkedIn I guess.
