Hi this is a relatively new form of 'ragebait' ad which is designed to be shared on social media by people who hate it.

The vast majority of people think it's disgusting, but it gets shared around enough that the CO's which they're actually marketing to will see it and be tempted.

Please don't give it the attention it wants.

"NEVER FUCKING GUESS!" โ€” and that's exactly what I did. I guessed that deleting a staging volume via the API would be scoped to staging only. I didn't verify.

There's a little accelerationist inside of me, that hopes that every company that can "hire" AI, does so and ruins their entire bussiness and goes bankrupt with it.

[-] GamingChairModel@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

I imagine a lot of the companies will realize that the purported benefits of AI have hidden defects they have to fix, piling up lots of hidden technical/administrative debt, right around the time their AI vendors jack up prices or go out of business so that they're stuck with unmaintainable stuff (code, workflows, processes) that they don't fully understand, built by and for AI agents that no longer exist.

It is morally correct to graffiti any ad.

But we can start with this one :)

Truly 'ads should be banned outright' isn't popular enough of an opinion ๐Ÿ˜”

Booking meetings is not a fucking achievement. In my line of work having a bunch of meetings means shit is going off the rails. but I guess this ad is probably targeted at the worthless middle managers that don't know what to do with their time if they're not in meetings all day.

What does BDR mean in this context ?

[-] immutable@lemmy.zip 40 points 1 week ago

Ok I also had this question and everyone was just cracking jokes instead of answering it.

Business Development Representative is the most likely correct answer given the context

[-] fizzle@quokk.au 28 points 1 week ago

Oh god.

I think ive just realised that this bot scans your emails for "prospects" and tries to schedule meetings with them?

The fuck is wrong with people.

I dont necessarily hate AI, I use it day to day at work.

But this is absurd. Any clunker emailing me has no chance of securing an appointment. What a way to communicate with potential new customers.

"Booked 12 meetings, 3 of which are at the same time and 2 with people you don't even know they just want to contact you about your car insurance.

I also researched 1268 prospects that are completely useless and never should have been looked at in the first place but high numbers look productive."

I've been using chatgpt for checking up on documentation, it's points you in the right direction most of the time, but omg it's like talking to a mirror, the self confirming bias is insane

Yes. Also those 12 meetings are with people that don't exist, and the prospects were sourced from harvested personal data run through keyword filters.

[-] kshade@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago

On the other hand: The faster the bubble collapses under the weight of the promises it can not keep the better. Go ahead business "elite", fire everybody whose job you don't understand. But also make some noise when shit doesn't work out.

[-] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

Seriously. Sorry Steve, Ava took your job and booked 12 meetings. 8 were done flawlessly. Three were set between 1 and 6 am. The last meeting with a competitor's legal team was set and Ava so helpfully forwarded the company's confidential internal documents for everyone to see.

Savings!

One of my colleagues tried Copilot in Office 365 for the first time a few weeks ago, and it scheduled an offsite meeting with completely the wrong person.

Ah yes, booking lots of meetings. The AI sure knows how boss can look productive without actually doing anything.

Guillotine the executives and board.

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

Steve isn't coming because he's suffering a psychotic breakdown from overwork exhaustion, and Steve is responsible enough to know when he's hallucinating.

Ava hallucinates even more and even when she knows she does do it frequently, still presents everything as 100% reliable facts.

It is morally correct to burn the building down, and eliminate the entire board of directors.

No, its morally required

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Isn't copilot down all the time? That seems pretty much the same as calling in sick, just without the notice or warning. Not to mention the fact that it takes ALL your AI dependent devs down with it.

And sent your financials to your top competitor after your email titled "DO NOT SHARE THIS WITH APERATURE SCIENCE."

If you'd like, I can delete your production server, and activate a power surge.

[-] qarbone@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

Just paint over it, in a solid color of your choice. Graffiti might inadvertently highlight it. Just make it disappear.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
