Sigh. I want my damn em dash back. I had the Mac key combo memorized back when the phrase "AI winter" was coined . Now everyone thinks it's AI slop.

Thank you for your sacrifice. Unfortunately for you, uncommon good writing practices have become a mark of AI generated text, which is very useful. Unfortunately you can't get your em dash back, ever. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Like hell we can't. Unsophisticated plebs (not you) viewing sophistication with suspicion is nothing new. And certainly no reason to demote one's standards.

Long live the em-dash. Or en-dash surrounded by spaces if you prefer UK style (which I do).

I've actually had a lot of success with something similar for my startup. I'm a first time founder, and there are so many unknowns when you're getting started. I've been using a Hermes agent to act as my "boss", giving me three tasks to do each day / creating a memory of everything with the business.

It's really, really helpful. So many things I would have completely missed if it weren't for this. I don't think you need this synthetic org setup to get exec help at a small level. It really helped me with fundraising, incorporation, compliance, and just keeping me on track.

The crux of this entire issue surrounding replacing people with agents, is that agents should pay taxes. If we're losing people that pay taxes our social safety nets will crumble. Maybe that makes the math more in favor of actually using humans too.

Doesn't this assume those people don't just find other jobs and continue to pay taxes?
