Office has a censor filter in internal comms to replace swear words with other terms. Added a rule changing "AI" to "my cat", so we get "According to my cat..." and "I asked my cat and it said..."
@fesshole Sounds like the bes use of my cat I've seen so far! 👍
@fesshole I worked with a guy once who accidentally published an entire library of customer-facing knowledge base articles with the Cloud-to-Butt browser extension. I supported him then, as I support you now.
@_calmdowndear @fesshole I had to have this immediately, but(t) it looks like it's no longer available. The best version I could find is called 'AI to Butt' on the Mozilla addons site. Can't wait to read emails from my school a month from now when I've forgotten about the extension...
@gnatcatcher it was a bit of a flash in the pan. There were zero extensions, then there were approximately 5000 of them, and then just as quickly the cloud became normalised and everyone stopped taking the piss out of it (until half the Internet gets taken out by either us-east-1 or Cloudflare having an outage and there's nothing productive left to do EXCEPT take the piss).
@fesshole after years of being a furry and interacting with other furries: a cat is definitely a more trustworthy sounding source.
Tired: AI, wired: Me-Ow
@fesshole i love automatic censorship on internal communication since i have a coworker that ... cannot be @ mentioned because there is a swear word inside his last name
@wikiyu @fesshole decades on and we still haven't solved the Scunthorpe problem. 🙄
@wikiyu @fesshole You work with Felix Wankel?
@wikiyu
OMG, you work with "He who should not be named!"
@fesshole
I prefer changing it to cocAIne.
As in "we are a cocaine first company"
Now I am thinking of a meeting where somebody said we cannot invest more in data security because we need that money for AI.
@kasperd @dirkhh @fesshole Jokes aside, security normally falls by the wayside.
@fesshole from someone constantly speaking with an actual cat, it makes more sense than the original too.
@fesshole love your subversive energy here.
@fesshole Cats don't deserve this slander
@fesshole I made a bot script for an irc channel that was cloud-to-butt, but I used all the euphemisms from the Blue Man Group closing number. It still makes me smile when it gets triggered.
@sgsax @fesshole I remember installing a Chrome browser add-on many moons ago that did the same thing.
@Wes_Montage @sgsax @fesshole I remember Scaleway's emails all addressing their customers as "cloud riders".
@fesshole My cat sucks. I hate my cat. My cat costs too much.
@schtaks @fesshole My cat consumes too much water and electricity.
@fesshole One of my cats is the home office manager so it's perfectly logical to me.
@fesshole In French „Chat, j‘ai pété“ means „Cat, I have farted“. 🐈💨
@fesshole my cat used around 2,000 to 3,000 tCO₂e for its training and it still makes shit up
@fesshole My cat is horrible for the environment
@fesshole
'I want my cat to answer the phone/mail/…'
@fesshole @freiheit this seems like a fantastic idea...
@me @fesshole what does?
@freiheit @fesshole surely you can think of a time or two when you wished somebody blamed their cat rather than AI for some document we were all meant to read....
@fesshole "Thank you for your question, have you tried asking my cat assistant first?"
@fesshole Every cat I've ever owned was a better source of information than LLMs. Even the orange ones.
@Rob_T_Firefly @fesshole According to my orange cat, Mondays suck and we should all have lasagna
