Pangram reports 76% of this text is AI generated.

#6I never worked at EA, but they had "Friday Afternoon Project" at least someone who worked for EA here in Florida told me so. The unfortunate thing about Friday Afternoon Project being its shorthand acronym or "F.A.P." not sure if that was intentional or just a "happy accident" but a coworker found one such Friday Afternoon Project and had sent me a youtube of it, it was pretty funny looking, thing of a really bare bones game concept basically. I guess it was a way for EA to let employees have some downtime.
I was always jealous of the 20% off concept, because there's so many jobs and places where I'd use that time to solve things nobody wants to "fund" within my org, sometimes there's some really dumb bug somewhere, or easy to solve for internal tooling need (I'm sure Google has had this resolved many a time internally) that could be met if I could even have two hours on a Friday to work on anything.

What prompt would you use to generate this? I don't see it.

It reads that way and Pangram says it's AI. And my experience says that if you see an AI-related headline on HN, there's a 50%+ chance that it is AI-generated and meant mostly for clicks.

20% time works when the 80% time spent is a money printer that goes brrrr
only a few companies like google had that imo. most companies cannot afford that.

#10Artists and actors could point the LLMs at programmers by developing their own apps, doing their own engineering. Do they? Who's doing it already? Tilly Norwood's creator seems like a decent start.
