Pipedream indeed!

It blows my mind that every company has decided to call itself an “AI platform” but it blows my mind even more that the stock market apparently believes them when they say it. Workday was an HR platform five years ago. It still an HR platform today.

I suppose all comes down to who runs the leading (or any) investment companies. Money people are not known to be technically literate enough for not being fooled by magic (any sufficiently advanced technology).

They are facinated by llms that they are pouring down money to AI related companies. Can you blame them? Can’t deny, I am also fascinated by llms.

I don’t think they’re fascinated by LLMs in the way the average Hacker News user is. They are fascinated by the pipedream (intended) of LLMs enabling them to lay off masses of workers and having AI do the work instead. It fascinates them the same way offshoring has fascinated them for years.

I came here to say this. I was chuckling thinking that this is how I should write my LinkedIn intro.

Also, anyone who loves coming across Workday and friends (enemies) when applying for jobs?

That Workday description reads like the resumes one writes when desperate and the job search has expanded into totally unrelated professions.

Workday is a disaster, at least the version we have.

You don’t wanna wait 60 seconds, 3 times to submit PTO?

The other day my friend ranted to me how he hates their company system for applying for PTO. Since he said he only uses it to apply for PTO, I was wondering if it really deserves that much wrath.

I think I now understand.
