Coinbase CEO explains the reason for his launch on engineers who have not immediately tried to Amnesty International

It is difficult to find programmers in these days who do not use artificial intelligence assistants in some capabilities, especially to write frequent worldly parts.

But those who refused to try tools when Coinbase bought institutions licenses for GitHub Copilot and was fired immediately, CEO Brian Armstrong said this week on Podcast John Coleson “Sficoor is half a liter.” (Collison is the co -founder and head of the payments company.)

After obtaining licenses to cover each engineer, some warned in the exchange of the Armstrong cryptocurrency that the adoption would be slow, expecting that even half of the engineers who use artificial intelligence will take.

Armstrong was shocked by thought. He said, “The rogue went,” and published a mandate on the company’s main engineering channel. I said, “Amnesty International is important. We need to learn it all and at least on the plane. You do not have to use it every day until now until we do some training, but at least on board by the weekend. And if not, I am hosting a meeting on Saturday with everyone who did not do so and I would like to meet you to understand the reason. ”

At the meeting, some people had reasonable explanations for not preparing their assistants in artificial intelligence during the week, such as being on vacation, Armstrong said.

“I jumped in this invitation on Saturday and there were two people who did not do it. Some of them had a good reason, because they were only returning from a journey or something of this, and some of them did not have (a good reason).

Armstrong admits that it is a “heavy approach” and there were people in the company “they did not like.”

Although it does not seem that many people have been separated, Armstrong said he had sent a clear message that artificial intelligence is not optional. However, everything about this story is wild: there were engineers who would not spend a few minutes of their week registration and artificial intelligence assistant test – the most super -technology for programmers ever – and that Armstrong was ready to launch it.

Coinbase did not respond to the comment.

Since then, Armstrong has bent over training. He said that the company hosts monthly meetings, as it mastered the teams that mastered creative ways to use artificial intelligence to share what they learned.

Interestingly, Coleson, who was Programming from childhoodShe asks about the amount of companies that should depend on the code created by artificial intelligence.

“It is very useful that Amnesty International will help you write a symbol. It is not clear how you run the base of symbol symbol of artificial intelligence.” Armstrong replied, “I agree.”

In fact, TECHRUNCH previously mentioned, Description of the former Openai engineer The central code depot of that company as “part of the dumping land”. The engineer said that the administration had begun to devote engineering resources to improve the situation.
