I think I now understand.
You'll now get a Clippy-esque pop up after 60 seconds that says "It looks like your request timed out, would you like me to resubmit that for you?"
This is interesting acquisition, a integration platform to boost their AI offering.

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.

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 am not fascinated by that part, I am honestly scared for my future.

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