Podcast is up, go find it wherever you listen to podcasts. Although it does mean you have to listen to my voice, so apologies for that. Gave shout outs to @JuliusGoat, @DragoonClawNZ, @Dan_McGiveron, @MaloneyM94, and my OG TV buddy @coffeeyay.

@Turboflemme__ @slayorrr @sxphiefrxst @rosedommu Usually there's some amount of interest you can earn while lending out shares. Enough to make it worth your while.

@seemitch Granted I haven't played the pokers in forever, but I think you definitely call there. Always a chance for TT+ but seems like a pretty wide range beyond that as a possibility.

This is art.

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

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.

@johnreport People will be confused when you keep posting articles and don't retire like they thought you were doing.

@Daddy_TbeME Apparently you are. Because this year's UNC game is an away game, next year's was supposed to be a home game.

@Drizztdj @danorlovsky7 I'm all for unconventional utensil usage when eating food, but the banana is a food that literally comes in its own built-in carry case. Utensils need not apply!

@ECPorter I saw some $100 tickets in the 300s for a quick second before they disappeared (Probably at the top corners), but yeah, everything else was $200+. Absolute insanity.
