Saw this in an anthropic presentation:

Missed opportunity for "It's a cruel, cruel summer."

This is all about the surveillance state isn't it?

They would like to describe what they want and receive Whatever — some beige sludge that vaguely resembles it. That isn’t programming, though. That’s management, a fairly different job.

This is where I am right now. They are pushing AI hard at work, even shaming people that haven't signed up for copilot. They brought in some MS rep to tell us how the future of work was going to be wrangling AI agents. This is not the future that I want.

Huh. That sounds exactly like those work from home scams. Surely an AI company wouldn't do such a thing. Right?
