I lost track of where I got this from but I think it was from twitter:

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.

$30 per seat per month.

$1.4 million annually.

I called it "digital transformation."

The board loved that phrase.

They approved it in eleven minutes.

No one asked what it would actually do.

Including me.

I told everyone it would "10x productivity."

That's not a real number.

But it sounds like one.

HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.

I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."

They stopped asking.

Three months later I checked the usage reports.

47 people had opened it.

12 had used it more than once.

One of them was me.

I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.

It took 45 seconds.

Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.

But I called it a "pilot success."

Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.

The CFO asked about ROI.

I showed him a graph.

The graph went up and to the right.

It measured "AI enablement."

I made that metric up.

He nodded approvingly.

We're "AI-enabled" now.

I don't know what that means.

But it's in our investor deck.

A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.

I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."

He asked what that meant.

I said "compliance."

He asked which compliance.

I said "all of them."

He looked skeptical.

I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."

He stopped asking questions.

Microsoft sent a case study team.

They wanted to feature us as a success story.

I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."

I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.

They didn't verify it.

They never do.

Now we're on Microsoft's website.

"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."

The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.

He got 3,000 likes.

He's never used Copilot.

None of the executives have.

We have an exemption.

"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."

I wrote that policy.

The licenses renew next month.

I'm requesting an expansion.

5,000 more seats.

We haven't used the first 4,000.

But this time we'll "drive adoption."

Adoption means mandatory training.

Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.

But completion will be tracked.

Completion is a metric.

Metrics go in dashboards.

Dashboards go in board presentations.

Board presentations get me promoted.

I'll be SVP by Q3.

I still don't know what Copilot does.

But I know what it's for.

It's for showing we're "investing in AI."

Investment means spending.

Spending means commitment.

Commitment means we're serious about the future.

The future is whatever I say it is.

As long as the graph goes up and to the right

Any hexbears do this? I need to get rid of shitcastinfinitynbcuniversalmeglocorp asap and I narrowed it down to two choices:

1. Minternet mint mobile home internet & mint mobile phone plan. I can get Minternet router for 6/12 months prepaid and mint mobile unlimited plan for my iphone for $45 to $50 month for a year. I am planning on moving next year hopefully by June and I'm not sure where yet and I don't know if it will roam or if I have coverage after the move. It's the cheapest home internet and phone plan but prepaid and might not work where I'm moving.

2. Google Fi. I can get a Pixel 9A and two years of unlimited internet which is actually 50 Gb phone data and 50 Gb hot spot data for the same upfront cash outlay as Mint mobile and then $55 month for two years. I need to keep it for two years for the $55/month because google cyber monday deal is cost of the phone($400) and $240 off google fi for two years. The $640 deal is spread out over 24 months with $27 off a month. The $55 month google fi plan over two years includes the cost of the pixel 9A but have to keep google fi for two years to get that price.

No matter what scheme I come up with internet access and phone will come out to $50 +/- $10 so this isn't a financial question. What I am wondering is if I can use a pixel 9A to stream 50Gb month and use it as my primary phone. I see a lot of people saying the battery will go bad since I am using a pixel as a home router. Mint mobile solves home internet and phone for a year and no 50Gb home internet cap and google fi solves home internet and phone for two years with 50Gb home internet cap. The reason I'm posting this in Technology is I need to determine if pixel will last two years as a router and main phone. Also muh eyes are bad and I can only use phone for bank/bills/email/sms but cannot surf internet without using laptop or desktop so hotspot/tethering is a must and because I live in a capitalist society I have to make a decision TODAY (cyber monday).

let's make sure one or two cities and states fall apart fast so the rest don't have to elect mandani!

I know this intestinal tapeworm will do his best to make it happen. All the more reason to go around the liberals and go hard. Arnaud Bertrand seems decent but he has a lot of sketchy people in his pro-china orbit.

Ouch. I wonder if he was ok? Crossed Oklahoma off my bucket list last week. I came up thru Texas panhandle into OK and the first county I entered was Custer county. OK named a county after that loser lol. They virtue signal indigenous American stuff all over like arrows and eagle feather symbols on license plates and interstate overpasses which is wild considering their history.

2 Million dollar nobel prize for making lavender scented farts. Nice.

“We must uphold the mechanisms that underlie creative destruction, so that we do not fall back into stagnation,” said John Hassler, the chair of the committee for the prize in economic sciences.

Mokyr, a Dutch-born American-Israeli economic historian, won the prize for his research identifying the prerequisites for sustained growth through technological progress. Aghion and Howitt, a Canadian economist, shared the award for their analysis of how “creative destruction” is key for driving growth.

Can't wait to see what happens when he orders CA leo to de-mask ICE. Libs really thought this whole thing would stay afloat on good vibes. They should have cultivated a relationship with some leo org or a branch of the military but now they gonna find out why so many political parties outside the usa have an armed wing. Mfw I got no gunfighters.

I saw govnuh americanpsycho walking down the street with a chinese menu in his hand. He said he was lookin for a place called Lee Ho Fook's AND HIS HAIR WAS PERFECT!!!
