They're called chem-flames

I often skip meetings without agenda. If they don't care to prepare a reasonable invitation, I don't care to join. Also - I skip meetings where they announce stuff. Announcements should go to my inbox, so I can read them when ready, not when they think it's suitable for them.

My main concern with people making fun of such cases is about deficiencies of "AI" being harder to find/detect but obviously present.

Whenever someone publishes a proof of a system's limitations, the company behind it gets a test case to use to improve it. The next time we - the reasonable people arguing that cybernetic hallucinations aren't AI yet and are dangerous - try using such point, we would only get a reply of "oh yeah, but they've fixed it". Even people in IT often don't understand what they're dealing with, so the non-IT people may have even more difficulties...

Myself - I just boycott this rubbish. I've never tried any LLM and don't plan to, unless it's used to work with language, not knowledge.

Now I'd love to see a Perl monk comic!

I've recently changed to a part-time contract, thanks to decent wages we get in IT. None of my friends outside of IT could afford that. If anyone claims IT professionals earn too little, they should change their job and see how much their life improves then.

It would rather go like that:

"Documentation is on discord."

"Why"
