Awwww did someone take your hard work and use it to train a model to mimic your expertise without compensation

Roll back these changes or you'll watch yourself fall off faster than Skype did.

[Is this a 3D model? @IsThisA3DModel]

sounds to us like we should continue to not use GenAI. thanks for letting us know it is working 🥰

I'm doing my part

This is how you should embrace Copilot AI:

[IT Unprofessional @it_unprofession]

Today my boss asked me if we're "ready for AI this year".

I said absolutely. I told him we've been running "machine learning models" on our data infrastructure for the past 18 months and we're seeing "significant optimization gains."

He asked for specifics. I said, "Our email filtering system uses neural networks to detect phishing attempts with 97% accuracy."

He looked impressed.

Here's the truth: that's just the default spam filter in Office 365. Microsoft built it. We didn't do anything.

But I rebranded it as "AI-powered threat detection" in a slide deck last year, and now everyone thinks we're innovators.

My boss wants to announce our "AI initiatives" in the next shareholder meeting. I told him I'd prepare a presentation.

I'm going to take every automated process we already have—backup scripts, user provisioning, patch management—and add the words "AI-enhanced" in front of them.
Innovation isn't about building new things.

It's about renaming old things with better buzzwords.

If we all have more children, they can be put to work on these wheels to generate power for the AI data centers.

Wild tactic from the sendgrid phishers

[IT Unprofessional @it_unprofession]

Our CFO asked me to "audit" our software subscriptions last week.

He sent me a spreadsheet with 200 rows. Slack, Zoom, Jira, Notion, Trello, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

He wanted me to survey the team to see which tools were essential.

I told him: "Surveys are for people who care about feelings. I care about OpEx."

I deleted the spreadsheet.

Instead, I logged into the corporate Amex portal and reported the card as lost.

Every single auto-renewal in the company failed instantly.

I call this "The Scream Test."

It’s simple Darwinian procurement.

If a tool goes down and nobody runs to my desk screaming within 4 hours? We didn't need it.

The Marketing team was at my door in 10 minutes begging for Adobe. We renewed it. The Sales team was crying about the CRM in 20 minutes. We renewed it.

But here’s the interesting part.

The HR department’s "Employee Wellness & Engagement Portal" ($12,000/year) has been down for six days.

Not a single person has noticed.

I didn't just save money. I quantified the exact value of our corporate culture.

It is zero.

Stop auditing. Start unplugging. If it’s important, they’ll scream. If they don't scream, it’s just noise.

The internet pioneers gave us a system that’s designed to withstand nuclear war and look what we did to it

You misheard. What they said was, "how do I get this fuckin piece of shit off my computer?"

Everyone can tell that Copilot has been finishing your code:

[Brad R. Torgersen @BradRTorgersen]

Three Mile Island and Chernobyl convinced the entire planet nuclear fission was catastrophically unsafe. Despite the fact Three Mile island's containment system worked exactly as designed, preventing a genuine catastrophe. And Chernobyl was a catastrophe because the Soviets were cutting corners and built their plants without proper containment. Thus, nuke accidents became the shark attacks of the energy discussion. And our best, cleanest, most abundant power source remains ignored.

Educating you morons is growing tiresome.
