Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.

$30 per seat per month.

$1.4 million annually.

I called it "digital transformation."

The board loved that phrase.

They approved it in eleven minutes.

No one asked what it would actually do.

Including me.

I told everyone it would "10x productivity."

That's not a real number.

But it sounds like one.

HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.

I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."

They stopped asking.

Three months later I checked the usage reports.

47 people had opened it.

12 had used it more than once.

One of them was me.

I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.

It took 45 seconds.

Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.

But I called it a "pilot success."

Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.

The CFO asked about ROI.

I showed him a graph.

The graph went up and to the right.

It measured "AI enablement."

I made that metric up.

He nodded approvingly.

We're "AI-enabled" now.

I don't know what that means.

But it's in our investor deck.

A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.

I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."

He asked what that meant.

I said "compliance."

He asked which compliance.

I said "all of them."

He looked skeptical.

I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."

He stopped asking questions.

Microsoft sent a case study team.

They wanted to feature us as a success story.

I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."

I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.

They didn't verify it.

They never do.

Now we're on Microsoft's website.

"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."

The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.

He got 3,000 likes.

He's never used Copilot.

None of the executives have.

We have an exemption.

"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."

I wrote that policy.

The licenses renew next month.

I'm requesting an expansion.

5,000 more seats.

We haven't used the first 4,000.

But this time we'll "drive adoption."

Adoption means mandatory training.

Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.

But completion will be tracked.

Completion is a metric.

Metrics go in dashboards.

Dashboards go in board presentations.

Board presentations get me promoted.

I'll be SVP by Q3.

I still don't know what Copilot does.

But I know what it's for.

It's for showing we're "investing in AI."

Investment means spending.

Spending means commitment.

Commitment means we're serious about the future.

The future is whatever I say it is.

As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

Hola a todos,
Comparto este mensaje de alerta, algo poco habitual en mis redes, pero necesario.

Hemos detectado junto a mi equipo que circulan en algunas plataformas vídeos falsos generados por inteligencia artificial, en los que aparece una figura que imita mi imagen y voz.

En estos vídeos se me atribuyen consejos o propuestas de inversión que no provienen de mí. Se trata de publicidad engañosa. Por favor, tened cuidado: yo no he realizado ni respaldo este tipo de mensajes.

Gracias a todos por la atención y el apoyo.

@KarenPayneMVP Same thing happened to me. As a workaround, if I open Visual Studio without loading any project, and then load a project afterwards, it starts working again…

👹 Pasé doce meses troleando al Estado.

Ministerios, gobiernos autonómicos, Hacienda, mi ayuntamiento… le di un meneo a todo lo que pillé. Hackeé portales, liberé bases de datos, saltaron titulares y contestó un ministro.

Esta es la crónica. 👇

Desde que su papá murió y acabó en una jaula, #THOR a sus 9 añitos se nos muere de pena y no encontramos ninguna familia que lo quiera.

A su edad, está viendo sus días pasar encerrado, y cada vez tiene menos ganas de buscar una caricia.
No podemos permitir que muera aquí. Se merece urgente una familia.
Es apto con perros sumisos.
Os necesitamos ahora más que nunca.
