the rate of decline is increasing

everything is getting steadily worse

the best/worst part of it is that while i should use ai to replace my ability to think, i have been told to /not/ use it to prepare work for management consumption.

so far the only thing i have willingly used ai for is to make content for management.

it gets worse: i had, despite my great misgivings, put quite a lot of effort into coming up with 'good' uses for ai that wouldn't completely give us over to the external thought farm but no, only a total surrender is acceptable

it was my turn today to get the speech at work about how ai can free me from the shackles of all this analysis work and how i should instruct my team to use it to free themselves from all this analysis work and i'm like we're analysts, wtf are we supposed to do then? the answer was 'more work'.

i have been slowly and carefully looking for a new role for a little while but now i just want to not show up for work tomorrow.

i am not ok with that being a reason why i can't have a human learn and grow by mapping penetration test findings to STRIDE and then mapping that to controls and then risks.

i now own the threat modelling function at my current organisation because nothing is punished quite as harshly as competence and pre-existing workloads are irrelevant because LLMs can help and argh, so much argh.
