Anyone recognize this one? My manager is a fuckin’ retard. I mean the guy is seriously just to dumb for his job.

Why am I mentioning this? Because my manager is literally the only one in our 12 men team who uses AI.

And he uses it constantly…all the fucking time…even to have it explain emails to him. But the thing is, LLM’s can’t grasp the technical details or the nuances of my work. So when my manager uses AI to respond to emails or uses it to prepare plans or presentations, its literally gibberish. And when you ask him what point he’s actually trying to make, he gets irritated 🤣

Before you ask, yes I am already on the hunt for a new job…

I saw 2 foreign guys having an email argument the other day which was hilarious because they were obviously both using AI.

I remember the initial Google Workspace Gemini ads showing someone writing an email from a few bullet points and blowing it up to pages of text. Then another scene in the same ad has a user summarize pages of text into bullet points.

This is by far the worst and most expensive inverse-compression system ever.

I have never corresponded to another human with an AI response, I think just going through the process of doing that is the most fucking embarrassing thing you could do.

At work people have started just pasting AI responses into slack threads. PR review comments are also entirely AI written. I can understand having your AI review your code before you share with others for review (I would rather a bot point out my stupid bugs/typos instead of wasting someone else's time on them), but if you are reviewing something YOU need to review it.

I'm also getting annoyed because one guy keeps submitting entirely AI written PRs. They're awful. Too many comments that say nothing, they don't match our code styles, there are obvious refactors that would make the whole thing cleaner and more readable. It's just fucking lazy and a waste of time to keep telling him to fix it, because by the time I point out all the issues I could have just rewritten it myself.

Dead corporation theory.

Attention is all you need? The modern world demands more attention than anyone has. Our attention was colonized by social media, shadow work (in the economic rather than Jung sense), and the constantly changing software, portals, and platforms that are required to interact with the corpos/gov. So attention was automated (albeit poorly). And while it's not news, it's increasingly apparent to everyone that how we focus our attention is a significant part of who we are.
