Notes from a Clanker Workshop
verbatim from my little red notebook
Sycophancy Horde isn’t the worst band name
oh good, someone brought the plague with them
“Elon is working on that high speed rail!”
I think I’m the only person here who doesn’t pay for a chatbot sub at home
it’s very funny that we all have paid licenses on our work machines but not a one of us requested them
“take the fear away!!!”
A Critical Enabler
“it will tell you what emails are coming from your boss”
MANDATORY WORKSLOP
“It Hallucinates!” ← I appreciate this kind of honesty
we’ve had this software for 7 months and I’m just now being told there are ‘rules’ to how we should use it??
there are SOME controls in place — ‘be responsible’ lol
heh, they turned off all the web query capabilities. can’t imagine why
either we or [AGENT PROVIDER] are explicitly lying about the costs.
10 minute introduction (ZzZzZzZz) and then a 40 minute break.
Efficiency! (clap emoji)
is this California? everyone is complaining about the traffic
“wait, are we teaching AI to do our jobs??”
“I always say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’, cause you never know when the robots will come for you”
“the Nvidia guy…Sam Altman.”
pilledpilledpilled
“evaluate the output” …that doesn’t sound like my job
…all of these work functions already existed beforehand
Code assistant, Data Analyst, Summarizer, Scheduling…
realizing no one here has actually read anything about how LLMs actually work
“it’s not psychoanalyzing you!”
IT CAN’T HANDLE AMBIGUITY WELL ||||||| DELICIOUS IRONY.
folks failing to differentiate between CoPilot, ChatGPT, Claude, etc.
one hour later (recycling symbol)
perfect, we can make slop videos now
**oohs and aahs from the crowd
SURVEILLANCE, MOTHERFUCKERS
“I’ll learn AI, but not the new Outlook”
this is genuinely taking away all our critical thinking skills
the fact that people can’t just read an email…
we have to use the web browser version?! after all this hoopla about the app?!
building agents with pre-tested prompts…
god forbid we try something
“analyze each email for explicit and implicit actions” KILLMEALREADY
“a USUAL glitch”
request blocked due to organization policy
this is useless for anyone with OCD or decent organizational skills who already categorized and filed away their emails into respective folders
everyone here is realizing — one by one — that there is no reliable or consistent output between queries and agents
one prompt, 20 minutes of blahblahblahblahblah
aaaaaaand i don’t even have the license needed for this example
we have the attention span of fliesbuzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
“based on my judgment, which is really good.”
NOTEPAD ALREADY SERVES THIS FUNCTION WHAT ARE WE DOING
HALLUCINATIONSAGAINHUNNY
I wonder how Anthropic feels about all this
‘tis a family affair…
“the sky is the limit!”
i would swear some folks here are just plants and waiting to specifically ask questions that make wall street hyperscalers hard
‘greetings’ from the agent =/
“we are not even there yet.”
this class is a lawless realm of furious confusion.
so, this is all kinda useless without predetermined info.
“did AI mess that up?”
we’ve moved on to the Agents Creating Agents Paradox bullshit
I truly have no idea what we’re even doing now (spongebob coffee meme)
don’t “overload” the agent LOL
opening Outlook to open CoPilot to read Outlook….
the Survey agent would actually be useful, if it didn’t already exist
BRAAAAAAAAAAAANDS! GOTTA HAVE BRANDS!
literally no one over the age of 40 is listening to the instructor
“she’s like a PowerPoint wiz!”
sure does sound like this will burn tokens rather than be included in the subscriptions
every in-software query is taking over 5 minutes to process.
it will take longer to generate a bad PowerPoint than for me to make one myself
oh we’re just making shit up now
Brain Drain in real time
I hope this gets that AI agent fired
“is the agent that good?” “well, it’s getting there.”
so that’s a no.
I hated this, goodbye.
