30" after @BonJovi beautiful redention of "Someday I'll be Saturday Night", my true love proposed me to be his wife 😊

[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.

@kamakura_couple We really appreciated that you willing to respond to us, as the villa owner is not informing us anything and we are in the blind. Again, stay safe! We love our trip to Japan either way!

[Wuri Kleinhout-Rostandy @reichan]

@t911t993 thank you for responding to us and giving us more information. we are staying an extra night in Tokyo, we are afraid that we will not be able to get supplies and food with few stores that are closed. stay safe and thank you again

[Wuri Kleinhout-Rostandy @reichan]

@kamakura_couple Thank you for responding to us, we have decided to stay one more night in Tokyo. Since we think few shops are closed and we might not be able to survive in an empty villa with no food supply for the night. We hope tomorrow we can travel there! Stay safe and thank you again

@GooglePlayDev Hi, does Play has specific requirement for developer to populate user’s data? e.g. if the app require user to manually input their phone number into the app during registration, is that allowed? Thanks!

OMG finally! I got a diagnosis. A nice neurologist just told me that #MECFS, #LongCovid + #POTS are bullshit. I'm just too afraid to stand up. As in... be on my feet. So my body reacts with panic attacks everytime I manage to get out of bed. How silly of me. Consider me cured.
