“The tech leaders who once hailed AI use as the key to unlocking every employee’s full potential are now changing their tune. This includes Shopify cofounder and CEO Tobias Lütke. He told employees last year that using AI is “a baseline expectation,” and they should first prove they “cannot get what they want done using AI” before asking for more resources. He’s now saying Shopify employees are producing unexamined emails and code with AI and not taking responsibility for the sloppy output.”” You got what you asked for (and rewarded), Tobias, lmao. This is 100% on executives and leaders. They should be held accountable for making the shitty decision of destroying employee morale by threatening to replace them with the slop machine. PS: Also, Tobias Lütke is an oligarch techbro who doesn’t want poor people to vote, so double fuck off to him. #ai #slop #bubble “Shopify CEO says employees’ ‘slop grenades’ are making more work for everyone else” https://fortune.com/2026/09/17/shopify-tobias-lutke-ai-slop-grenades/
