    I love the smell of bursting bubbles in the morning.

      Hear that sound? Chickens. Coming home to roost.

    If I ever worked at a company that required using as much AI as possible, I’d just make a script that automatically sent API requests in the background at random intervals. Could just have a file full of questions vaguely related to my job that were copied from forums and pull one randomly for each request.

      You could have the agent write the script for you!

        I know that’s a joke, but for anyone else who sees this and thinks that’s a good idea, don’t do this. Your company can monitor your API calls and what you searched for. If they see that request, the jig’s up.

        Don’t just be lazy and malicious, be smart as well.

      I’d make the script look for software exploits and sell them
