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.

¿Se acuerdan cuando todo el Kirchnerismo marchaba y ponía en redes sociales "Yo defiendo la educación pública"?
Bueno el presupuesto 2022 prevé un recorte del 6,2% ($34.000 millones) a la Educación con una economía con 52% de inflación.

Starbase is extremely impressive. There is a lot of bemoaning that we culturally can't build physical things anymore, but this is China Speed and then some. Rows of engines, hangars full of structures, 24/7 shifts -- it is a sight to behold.

Ya es agosto. Toca una nueva serie de notas chivo 🐐 llenas de mentiras en cada medio. La Nación primereó a Infobae, Clarín, Cronista y otros este mes.

En estas capturas no hay una sola frase completa que pueda pasar un análisis de veracidad.

Yesterday I took a massive 140 megapixel image of the sun. But there is something uniquely special about this image, that made it one of my most difficult shots ever. So, what is it? #astrophotography #space #opteam

10 days left to get your code into the Arctic Code Vault! On 02/02/2020, we will make a copy of every active public repository on GitHub to preserve them in a decommissioned coal mine for over 1,000 years. https://t.co/qd2xYoFfEY

[Waldo Wolff @WolffWaldo]

Explico. Votaron el congelamiento del régimen general de jubilaciones y mantienen la movilidad jubilatoria de regímenes especiales. Jueces, diplomáticos, etc. hasta que convoquen una comisión y decidan que hacer. Ergo, al de a pie le congelan y a los jueces y otros no.
Buen día

Te acordás cuando @SergioMassa te hablaba de la extinción de dominio, de la ley de ética pública, de los juicios por residencia y de la imprescritibilidad y aumentos de pena por delitos de corrupción? Bueno, ayer invitó a cenar en su quinchito de Tigre a los Moyano.
