"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

My dad worked during the heyday of the .com era - he once had a CFO who would just go on benders for like 4-5 days, wake up in some foreign country surrounded by hookers and blow (like, very literally, not as a futurama reference), then just fly back and act like nothing happened.

When I worked for Oracle I had to take yearly training to tell me in no uncertain terms that I am NOT allowed to buy hookers for customers OR potential customers. And I was an engineer.

I just wonder what the hell happened that they had to do that.

They used to have a hooker tent at CES. Seriously.

[–] PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Was it a luxury tent at least?

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

no, but with the blow you didn't really care.

Somebody put hookers on their expense report for reimbursement: "She was for a client!"

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Seriously, they said it’s not a valid expense like five times. WTF Oracle.

My company wouldn't even let us expense tips at restaurants.

We had a CTO who was a massive coke fiend as well. Dumb as dirt, only had his position because he was married to the daughter of the company's founder. We once had a client who had been with us for ten years visit and this CTO wandered into a meeting with them and babbled for 45 minutes and then suddenly said "so ... does it sound like you guys would like to do business with us?"

He eventually divorced the daughter, who was friends with many of the employees and aired her dirty laundry on Facebook so we all got to see it. Apparently her nickname for him was "ol' three inches two minutes".
