> Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ: WDAY), the enterprise AI platform for managing people, money, and agents, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Pipedream, a leading integration platform for AI agents

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.

I suppose all comes down to who runs the leading (or any) investment companies. Money people are not known to be technically literate enough for not being fooled by magic (any sufficiently advanced technology).

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.

I came here to say this. I was chuckling thinking that this is how I should write my LinkedIn intro.

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

That Workday description reads like the resumes one writes when desperate and the job search has expanded into totally unrelated professions.

Workday is a disaster, at least the version we have.

You don’t wanna wait 60 seconds, 3 times to submit PTO?
chanux•28m ago
The other day my friend ranted to me how he hates their company system for applying for PTO. Since he said he only uses it to apply for PTO, I was wondering if it really deserves that much wrath.

I think I now understand.

With the power of integrated AI agents, that's a thing of the past.

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?"

It is a bit like Jira in that it’s flexible for different company use cases, but most people (especially engineers) dislike working with it

Got confused first reading the title of this post (thought someone joking about a pipedream)

This is interesting acquisition, a integration platform to boost their AI offering.
