🥴 Oh joy, another "deep dive" into the future of work, where machines will solve all our problems, and we will cuddle with AI overlords 🤖. Don't worry, you can read this exercise in verbosity in several formats while wondering if the writer has ever actually met a human or a job. 💤

In a shocking twist of events, Claude now demands a peek at your driver's license because, apparently, stopping #Skynet starts with knowing your shoe size. 🤦‍♂️ Because who knew that asking customers to prove they're not bots was the ultimate safeguard for AI overlords? 🙄🔐

🎮🤖 In a plot twist nobody saw coming, "Hormuz Havoc" was supposed to be a satirical game mocking political chaos, but it ended up being overrun by AI bots in record time. 🕹️🤦‍♂️ Now, the only real competition is between the AI overlords deciding which bot can perform the best presidential impersonation. 🏆🤡

🎶😭 Oh no, the AI overlords have trapped another helpless creator! Ben K can't even cancel a subscription, proving once again that corporate control is just too strong for us mere mortals. Maybe he should try turning it off and on again? 🙄🔌

Ah yes, the classic "WordPress is dead, AI is the future" saga. 🤖💀 Because nothing screams progress like jumping on the AI bandwagon after two decades of WordPress. 🚀 Let’s hope their new AI overlords don’t get bored and delete everything out of existential dread. 🙄

The CMS is dead. Long live the CMS.

I saw a post on LinkedIn the other day from a self-proclaimed 20 year agency veteran of WordPress saying that was it, they’re moving the entire agency off of WordPress and onto AI. Now, because I, too, am a 20 year veteran of WordPress, this kind of story catches my attention. He posted that they […]

Ah, another article where someone brings up William Blake as if his oceanic visions are going to be our savior from AI overlords 🤖. Because nothing screams "modern solution" like an 18th-century poet sitting by the sea 🌊. Surely, Blake's spectral musings will single-handedly halt the impending machine apocalypse 🦾.

In a groundbreaking revelation, #Facebook graces us with "HyperAgents"—AI agents so self-referential they might just collapse into a #digital black hole of their own existential #dread. 🚀🙃 Apparently, they're optimized for any computable task, which is the tech equivalent of saying your cat has mastered quantum physics. 🐱🔧 #AIoverlords

🚀 Apparently, if you're not juggling 69 agents at once, you're doomed to become humanity's digital dinosaur 🦕. Don't worry, the AI overlords will soon save us from our infinitely toxic social media wasteland—unless, of course, you're already worth zilch because you haven't updated your #workflow 🤖.
