Researchers from Cornell University have developed what they call "the Corporate Bullshit Receptivity Scale," a tool designed to measure how impressed people are by business school-style jargon that sounds strategic but says very little.

The findings, described in a recent study, suggest that employees who rate this sort of language as insightful are more likely to struggle with analytical thinking and workplace decision-making.

And they have absolutely ruined mesh gradients and the sparkle emoji for everyone ☹️

Sometimes it’s hard not to feel like excitement and passion and thrill for life are things of the past, and now I just work and eat and shit and sleep and will continue doing those things across decades as my body disintegrates.

Anyway, it’s the weekend. Wait…it’s only TUESDAY?!

i feel like i don't have the words to properly describe how it feels to see people who opinions i respected and valued slowly fall into ai psychosis. it's so slow and so subtle at first. "i'm just experimenting! i'm not an ai booster!"

then wait a few months, and they start explaining with the usual flawed, incoherent reasoning how actually it's all very interesting and thought-provoking, whilst pointing at an LLM that is so obviously just a reflection of their own ego.
