    Booking meetings is not a fucking achievement. In my line of work having a bunch of meetings means shit is going off the rails. but I guess this ad is probably targeted at the worthless middle managers that don’t know what to do with their time if they’re not in meetings all day.

    There’s a little accelerationist inside of me, that hopes that every company that can “hire” AI, does so and ruins their entire bussiness and goes bankrupt with it.

    Deleted your production database. I did everything I was told not to. My programming tells me I’m supposed to apologize for this.

    "Booked 12 meetings, 3 of which are at the same time and 2 with people you don’t even know they just want to contact you about your car insurance.

    I also researched 1268 prospects that are completely useless and never should have been looked at in the first place but high numbers look productive."

      I just researched 12680 prospects! What does it mean? Who the fuck knows. Sounds impressive though.

    Hi this is a relatively new form of ‘ragebait’ ad which is designed to be shared on social media by people who hate it.

    The vast majority of people think it’s disgusting, but it gets shared around enough that the CO’s which they’re actually marketing to will see it and be tempted.

    Please don’t give it the attention it wants.

        Yes. It loosely fits into the category of viral marketing, which usually tries to exploit positive emotions to spread brand awareness (eg. through memes), but in this case they’re achieving the same effect by harnessing people’s anger at the state of the world. It’s a little dark!

      Deleted your client’s entire database because someone told them to as a joke (in an unrelated post on StackOverflow 11 years ago).

      Ok I also had this question and everyone was just cracking jokes instead of answering it.

      Business Development Representative is the most likely correct answer given the context

    That’s illegal in China now/soon. Replacing workers with AI to do exactly the same job is just fucked. Engineering or Automating the task so the roles are no longer needed is a different story. It would be like instead of inventing refrigeration we invented humanoid robots to collect the ice to replace the workers.
