Their point seems pretty clear? They aren't passionate about their job, they're pissing away AI-generated productivity to fill OKRs and collect a paycheck at the end of the week.

Then, knowing how the sausage is made, this person refuses to spend that paycheck on more AI-generated content. They are sabotaging their employer, forcing reconsideration of AI-first culture, and then refusing to re-integrate that cash into an AI-obsessed economy. It's a lot more of a principled position than just "I like AI" or "I want to see AI fail" that we hear from most sidelines pundits.

Gloat about what? They're describing an A/B dichotomy of how they treat AI at work, and how they treat it in their personal life.

Their employment is corollary to telling this story, it's not any kind of subtle brag.
