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.

[Bosnian Football @BosniaNTBall]

Almost half of our national team players were not born in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
They didn't go to our schools, they didn't grow up on our streets and villages... but love for their homeland is in their hearts.

They speak the Bosnian language, with pride.

They stand still, with their hands on their hearts and their heads held high during the singing of the national anthem. It is a love that is not learned from textbooks, it is a love that is carried from home.

The parents of our national team players deserve every recognition. You instilled that love for Bosnia and Herzegovina, you transmitted memories, stories, songs, language... You guarded the soul of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Today, your children make us proud.

Thank you. Thank you for raising hearts that beat for the motherland, wherever it is. ❤️🇧🇦

Regarding the alleged “murder tourism” discussed below, I have opened an investigation into this matter and am in contact with the Bosnian Consulate as well as the Italian Embassy. Paying money to shoot civilians—and even worse to shoot children—is a level of evil our country cannot and will not tolerate. Both the Italian and Bosnian governments will be sharing any and all information regarding any AMERICANS that may be implicated. If there are any Americans who have engaged in this, they deserve to be charged and prosecuted.

On days like today, I’m glad I’m diversified across stocks, gold and bitcoin because it allows me to lose money in three totally different ways.

[Ado @nafakaliRendzer]

First time in top 10k in #FPL
All because my little bro beat me last year and made me lock in.

@zackaria01 Crazy how people focused on one game vs PSG and forgot the last season. Palmer doesn’t shine in Maresca’s team

[Ado @nafakaliRendzer]

@LFC_Laith He’s literally 27…

[Ado @nafakaliRendzer]

@FFScout I don’t think Onana is a terrible pick, but they should be better picks for 4.5. Wirtz and Delap are hype picks. Can’t remember the last German player to make impact in EPL. Chelsea’s attack is too unpredictable for consistent points.

[Chuck Grassley @ChuckGrassley]

Milorad Dodik is Serb leader in Bosnia supporting separatism Now Bosnian Croat separatists getting into act This is worrying echo of 90s 4 many Iowans who fled separatist violence after war &genocide in 90s It didn’t end well 4 separatists then & won’t now
