    Even if there weren’t defense contracts, these companies are enjoying massively reduced water and electricity access, while it becomes more inaccessible and more expensive for everybody else.

  Many times it’s mandatory. Like when your employer forces it upon you and makes it automatically invoke ChatGPT whenever you open a pull request.

      I “use” ChatGPT because my employer has forced it into the workflow, and they’re the ones paying OpenAI. So I now have a linear relationship with ChatGPT through my employer. The more work I do, the more I use ChatGPT, even though I do not have a choice in the matter and if it were up to me I’d not be using any AI tools at all.

      Using it is now part of my performance evaluation beginning this year.
