AKIHABARA MAJOKKO PRINCESS (2009) starring Kirsten Dunst remains one of the strangest projects of her career.
Directed by McG, the short film features Dunst wandering through Akihabara as a magical princess while singing “Turning Japanese.”
A Japanese TV crew filmed a 26 year old Tokyo office worker for a feature on quiet quitting. He had not spoken to his manager in four months. AI wrote his reports, his meeting summaries and every reply his boss received, while he collected a full salary.
On camera he said the line everyone screenshotted: talking to my boss is a hassle, so I push the conversation into AI and I do not speak.
His story was simple. The tasks were menial and led nowhere. He raised it once. His boss told him: I cannot even change your duties. So he stopped asking. Then he stopped doing.
The crew thought that was the story. It was not.
Pause at 1:27. The camera holds on his laptop for four seconds. Read the prompt he typed. Everyone read the beginning: write the overview of the internal portal project and my duties in it. Almost nobody read the last verb. The verb was not summarize. The verb was invent.
There was no project. AI invented the overview, his role in it, the lessons learned. His boss read the document and sent back notes. AI answered the notes. The man watched the thread grow and thought: he is really trying.
For months the boss has been holding up one half of a conversation with nobody on the other side. The boss who could not change his duties never noticed the duties had already changed hands.
He still rides the same train every morning. He still sits in meetings with his camera off. He still passes his performance reviews. He still has not heard his manager's voice since February.
The crew came to record the honest opinion of young people. They left with a man who stopped working months ago, inside a company that still has not noticed.
The boss replied to AI again this morning. He watched. He thought: he is really trying.
