Zen AI Cohabitation: How I learned to embrace the slop

Josh Lee
Altinity
Abstract

Our tech lives are surrounded by AI. Everywhere we look: social media posts, videos, blog posts, and code. Companies expect employees to embrace AI, but at what cost? And what’s it doing to our mental health? While it’s satisfying to create with AI, it feels like we’re also losing a bit of our humanity and creativity along the way. In this talk Josh will look at how the world of technology has changed due to the AI boom, and how we can lean on our AI minions to produce meaningful, creative, non-slop work.

Bio

Whether it’s operators or observability, agile or accessibility, my expertise shines because I’m passionate about all of it. I’ve been building software for more than a decade and I love sharing experiences via public speaking. I’m currently a Developer Advocate for Altinity where I help create educational content about ClickHouse and OpenTelemetry, and I am a contributor to the OpenTelemetry project.
