We Must Return to the Office to Use AI in Person

> I am one of fifteen rank-and-file workers, and we are privileged to be led by thousands of Senior VPs.

This is simultaneously hilarious and painfully familiar.

> We began a heated affair. A contractor hit a pipe above us, so rancid mayo splattered onto our bodies as we embraced, but we were too absorbed in our passion to mind. Try doing that from home.

I can't remember the last time something I read on the internet got a laugh that hard.

The whole thing is brilliant.

Gosh it's so soothing to read that after those months of drowning into the turbulent deluge of dAIrrhea that are blogposts now

I reminds me of something I read years ago. Maybe sometime around 1984...

> founded as a mayonnaise company, which now sells consumer packaged goods, software as a service, and surveillance technology.

The visual of this is completely hilarious.

I'm assuming ButtFuckers demerged to become CageFight Pharma and SodaPorn.

AI could never write this

This guy is a straight shooter with upper management written all over him.

"More leaders means more leadership"

Heh.

Also: make it stop!!!

Hilarious read, and strangely accurate in a way.

RTO4AI should be a slogan. Or some variant thereof

Sounds like Amazon pivoted to the mayo business!

We used to develop AI to convince us its human (turing test). The future is about convincing AI/Automated Systems that you're - competent (hiring), not a bot (anti-spam), doing your job (KPIs), not a threat (ala social score, AI powered weapons targeting), worthy of being saved (insurance claims), etc, etc.

Whether or not humans break from those shackles, I for one, am hoping Hollywood supplies us with wonderfully dystopian sci-fi entertainment for years to come.

Remind of covid days. But i prefer wfh

This was very funny! Paradoxically, I have found that working with people in person is the fastest way to enable them on using AI.

It feels very similar to teaching pair programming and TDD. I can do it over remote, but there's a magic spark that happens in person that is really not replicable any other way.

I hope "slop doula" sticks around…

Returning to the office doesn't solve the problem of replacing office jobs with AI

I thought mcsweeneys did satire?

> Associate Slop Doula

had me ROFL

RTO is the worst shit managers try to push.
