[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.

This is not a lake, this is not a canal.
This is Marathahalli–Kadubeesanahalli Road😳

If Bengalurians ask for good roads and infrastructure, Deputy Chief Minister says don't blackmail the government 😢

@timesofindia @TimesNow @aajtak @republic @ZeeNews @ndtv @IndiaToday @indiatvnews @htTweets please make this State Govt order famous.

[Sanjeev Shrivastava @sanjshri]

Bangalore does not have road infrastructure. No one is worried.
When protest on our own gate. even without blocking the road, police came to arrest. @PoliceBangalore

[IamUV @I_amUV]

Varthur road residents are doing a peaceful protest and demanding better road infra. They are greeted with police threats for arrest. Lots of police deployed to stop this @BangaloreMirror @BangaloreTimes1 @CivicOp_india

[Forum For IT Employees - FITE @FITEMaharashtra]

🌧️ Heavy rains predicted in Pune for the coming days, yet no steps taken to make #WorkFromHome mandatory ❓

💻 Most IT companies are already hybrid – giving WFH will not affect delivery but will surely help employees stuck in 🚗 traffic jams, 🌊 water logging, and pothole-filled roads.

🙏 We urge the Govt & IT firms to declare WFH during such extreme weather. This will:
✅ Reduce traffic pressure
✅ Ease stress on civic authorities
✅ Provide relief to employees

With Pune’s current infra condition – broken roads, flooded underpasses, and poor drainage – #WFH is the need of the hour!

@TimesNow Never heard of a more insecure language! Seems the educated ones are more illiterate to believe in this bias made for political gains.

[Nitin Gupta @nitingupta86]

@Tanmay_31_ Hi Tanmay, any opinion on DFPL?Holding since allotment with a medium term view (1-2 years), but this is currently trading at 50% of its lifetime peak. Do you foresee any value in holding this?

This is the scene @ GULMOHAR CITY, Kharadi in the same monsoon after completion of the drainage construction work by PMC. When can we live a peaceful, healthy life?
