Several big tech companies now tell employees that using AI for work tasks isn't just advisable; it's mandatory. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has revealed that when some engineers didn't immediately try the technology when it was introduced at the crypto firm, they were promptly fired.
Speaking on Stripe president John Collison's Cheeky Pint podcast, Armstrong talked about how Coinbase bought GitHub Copilot and Cursor enterprise licenses for every engineer at the company.
The CEO was warned by employees that adoption of the AI would be slow, and that it could take months to get even half the engineers using it.
