    millions of promptfondlers stopping in their tracks because some random dc burned down, lol, lmao even

    i wonder what is state of openai infra, from what i gleaned from ed zitron it might be not great because it overheats and lots of budget already goes to hardware replacement

    “we pretend to work and they pretend to pay us.”

    i’ve seen it in contexts where pay is shit so pace of work is shit as well but i think that lots of corporate promptfondlers are rather high in the pecking order? it’s management that seems to be charmed by spicy autocomplete, maybe not interns

        i mean while there’s a lot of pretend-work (promptfondlers) and pretending that chatbots work (managers pushing for use of chatbots, entire openai and their vcs) the people who do that to my understanding are on the highly paid side. until the bubble collapses, that is

      I mainly use LLMs to write utterly meaningless corporate bullshit for the higher ups with made up job titles.

      Yep, here is a few department slogans. Pick any from the list, no one will care which one you pick.
