Too many em dashes -> AI
hyperhello•3mo ago
> It starts as a murmur in the boardroom, hardens into a cost-optimisation initiative, and eventually mutates into a strategic delusion: “This time, we’ll reduce our need for them.”

For me it’s the flatly self-insistent prose.

What happens when we become content for the the push back against AI content content to become mainly AI content?
carlmr•3mo ago
At this point it's AI discussing with AI about AI. AI is really good at this, it's much easier to keep this discourse going, than to solve deep technical problems with it.

Recently I was sent a 30 page proposal document filled to the brim with calendar, target and green checkmark emojis. I intentionally delayed my response. The sender got self-conscious, said that they sent an early draft by accident and replied with a concise one page document with bullet points in times new roman 12 font.

Too many emdashes? That's an ai comment too
JambalayaJimbo•3mo ago
We need a rule on this website to ban comments like these. It’s unfalsifiable and therefore worthless.

I periodically wonder why corps outsource functions like qa (toyota/Xerox certainly didn't do that in the 80s), harassment training (eg. having an outsider lawyer firm do it for you becauase HR wouldnt touch it), and other management functions like where to make cuts. The reasons ... well we know ... is to avoid accountability which says a lot ... I am reminded of the Basil Fawlty line to his wife: ah it must be tough to be you; your work is never fully delegated.

Outsourcing is still business as usual in 2025.

>software development isn’t a service dependency — it’s the core act of learning and adapting in digital business.

I don't think that's entirely correct. Learning, understanding and adapting isn't the end product. A thing that meets a user need or business objective is.

That might need understanding as an intermediate step but that's not strictly speaking always necessary. If the LLM can puke out something that fulfills the need that's mission accomplished, skipped straight to end goal.

For better or worse we're now in a world where that works some of the time. And that's enough for companies to keep pushing this - try it everywhere, revert where it fails.
