Raise your hand if you’re over AI. It’s starting to feel out of hand. When will there be meaningful regulations? I don’t want to live in a robotic world. At what point is enough enough? At this rate, maybe Dan is already working on one of those humanoids for himself

@c9 Yes, so in the end we end up wasting more time. I guess the time we waste wrestling with our internally developed tools wasn't wasteful enough.

The gaslighting continues. It’s been going on for a decade. We don’t know the plan or the future. Distraction to make things seem like everything is great but that strategy no longer works. We are fed up, confused, and questioning whether we will have jobs next month. Compensation has decreased and will continue to do so. I’m ready to be compensated to leave.

@av I think the aging tiger is molding Sam as a lighting rod so she is the one to attract all the hate and ridicule. My only question is if the Barbie girl is so silly or she is playing along for the money. I guess the latter.

Another moment they will laugh about. Employees on edge, waiting for any tidbit of information that gives us insight to the future and we get strung along again with 17 minutes of nothing. We are their pawns.

I get that Sam has to put on the face, but I wonder if, internally, she's like, really Dan, this again? Also, can't she advise him to shqre something more valuable and substantial? Do you think Dan just DGAF and does his thing?

At least it was only 17 minutes and not the full 30 minutes reserved.

With AI the upside is I have my own personal assistant now to do mundane tasks, the downside is I can’t trust it so have to check everything it does

After hearing the same message since last year I would love to see some concrete examples where AI is making a significant impact, and I do not mean by beautifying slides or managing someone’s email inbox

He’s telling the company most of their jobs will be gone in less than 1000 days. Tech jobs will be gone in 5 to 7 years. That’s what Dan believes.

Sam just tries to make it look like everyone is onboard with this.

Sad to see. Colossal waste of time for thousands of employees to tune in for mindless chit chat. Nothing of substance!

@an she plays the "semper enthusiastic" Barbie doll script. She "loved" the same old he said about AI, pretending to appear energized, inspired and forward thinking. In reality, he didn't say anything new, while her play was all about phony messages and high-paid job's conservation

It’s just more of the same old same old. Recycled conversation. We get it.
