If you can just for a moment set aside ...
That they were trained on stolen information ...
That their environmental cost is immense ...
That they are intended to cost good people their jobs ...
That they move money from the less well off to the wealthy ...
That their answers are fundamentally at best average ...
That their programmed behavior is intentionally seductive and gaslighting ...
If you can just for a moment set aside all that,
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU???

A couple of weeks before the pope came out of the woods, I sat in a department all-hands and some middle management clown told some 200 people that we must trust and have confidence.
And yes, I asked myself how long it's going to be before a day at the office starts with a pledge of allegiance.

I don't know exactly how much of my time is wasted trying to find out when an email was sent or a message posted. But it's at lot and definitely too much. Sure, yesterday, but when? (Looking at you, gsuite)
Who came up with this shit and why did everybody and their uncle think it was a good idea?
