If you want to reward your high profile friends so they can cash out with tangible assets before the whole currency or economy crashes, this is how you would do things.

"We call her Carrie, because of the carriage return."

You can also try to give the child NULL as middle name for additional fun.

Our boss was freaking out over people sometimes doing some private calls during work hours and at a certain point absolutely forbade it. So yeah, people would just end the call at 17:00 sharp and switch off the work phone. It took one week before that rule was rescinded.

The first hour in the office was spent staring at the screen wiggling the mouse from time to time when the screen saver came on because too tired from commuting every day. But, it was at the office so it was productive staring I guess.

People asked the question before. It went something like:

"You do realize that he'll be a dictator, right?"

" We don't care. He'll be our dictator and that's all that matters."

And then they'll say they do it for freedom and democracy.

Best comment ever was "It used to work like this but person at client demanded it work like that on this date" when the client complained it shouldn't work like that.

Sometimes, the AI gets the little details wrong.

In school we always get an assignment to compare the same story in different newspapers. It was amazing to see them all have different details. And that was before the internet existed. So AI here isn't better, just cheaper.

Other times, the AI wholly fabricates events.

We call that Boris Johnson.

Meta tried to do the same. The EU response was to ask when they'd leave to plan the going away party. Meta was a lot less confrontational after that.
