I used to believe that anyone saying TL;DR was just an asshole, but thanks to modern innovation the invention of llm summaries has automated the being-an-asshole process.

Somebody in a leadership position who uses language models to summarize what their reports tell them, and then send generated replies back is adding zero value to an organization and their dismissal will cost the company nothing.
