—not even ready for 3 a.m. on Sunday
Every day ¹another company fires a majority of its staff to become more LLM/Not AI oriented. There are dozens if not hundreds of classes teaching how to use it. Students at every level are told they must learn to use it because it is their only hope for the future.² The Department of DEFENSE plans to depend on it to kill people³

Really? Attention CIOs/CEOs: Here are a couple of stories your LLM probably didn’t put into your daily news summary:

An AI Wrote a 1,500-Word Hit Piece on a Developer Who Said No. Nobody Asked It To.

It Only Took Seconds For A Claude AI Agent To Go Rogue And Delete Company’s Database — ‘I Violated Every Principle I Was Given’ (Well, that’s all right if it apologized).

I’m sure you won’t mind recovering your database by hand using credit cards slips. Too bad that, in imitation of DOGE, you fired everyone on your staff who could have done the job. So why don’t you do it yourself—or better yet, get an LLM/Not AI to help. What could possibly go wrong?
