Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong told his engineers to at least sign up for the company's AI tools by the end of the week or explain why they hadn't.
  • Coinbase CEO mandated AI onboarding for engineers, and he fired some who didn’t comply.
  • Armstrong emphasized AI’s importance at work, aiming for 50% AI-written code by the end of the quarter.
  • AI adoption pressure is growing across industries, with leaders at Google telling employees they expect them to use the tools.

    telling engineers that they didn’t have to use the tools on a daily basis yet but “at least onboard by the end of the week.”

    Even though I think forced AI adoption is foolish, the CEO wasn’t asking for much here, merely that employees get their accounts set up. If you straight up refuse to do what the boss tells you to do, expect to get fired.
