    “We were still required to find some ways to use AI. The one corporate AI integration that was available to us was the Copilot plugin to Microsoft Teams. So everyone was required to use that at least once a week. The director of engineering checked our usage and nagged about it frequently in team meetings.”

    The managerial idiocy is astounding.

      It’s pretty easy to set up a cron job to fire off some sort of bullshit LLM request a handful of times a day during working hours. Just set it and forget it.

          “Prompt yourself with some bullshit so that it looks like you’re doing something productive.”

          Who knows, maybe that’s how you attain AGI? What is a more human kind of intelligence than looking for ways to be a lazy fuck?

            Prompt an LLM to contemplate its own existence every 30 minutes, give it access to a database of its previous outputs on the topic, boom you’ve got a strange loop. IDK why everyone thinks AGI is so hard.
