This afternoon, we sent the following email to our global team. One of our core values at Cloudflare is transparency, and we believe it's important that you hear this directly from us because it’s a major moment at Cloudflare.
Cloudflare’s usage of AI has increased by more than 600% in the last three months alone. Employees across the company from engineering to HR to finance to marketing run thousands of AI agent sessions each day to get their work done.
Translation: Skip the AI and you might keep your job.
I find it especially egregious that they’d use that metric as justification when most of these tech companies have internal LLM usage quotas you must hit lest you be reprimanded or fired. So you’re forced to use the tool despite its garbage results, then that very same usage is quoted as reason for losing your job
