My coworker got in trouble for using the word "circlejerk" in our AI Slack channel.

lol it's to talk about new AI tools and just a bountiful smorgasboard of toxic positivity.

“I love having this tool vomit unintelligible garbage at people and making them figure out what I’m trying to say!”

“Me too! I wonder if I can offload everything in my life to the random token generator!”

“I’ve been using model 7.5 and can really feel the difference in quality between my garbled output! Whereas 7.4 felt awful and slow 7.5 feels like it knows me!”

Every damn AI channel.

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

What's funny is that your parody is only barely an exaggeration.

You have to give the channel a more covert name. We have a Teams channel called "Work". It consists entirely of shitposts and memes.

You can call him foreskin. Because he disappears when things get hard

[–] ikidd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago

He's a blister: shows up when all the work is done.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 19 points 1 month ago (4 children)

That's not how pencils work

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 38 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (16 children)

It is, in a way that's recognizable as a metaphor.

Yeah; if they're still in the box, they've not yet been sharpened.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 11 points 1 month ago

That depends entirely on what pencils you buy.

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The actual box that is being talked about isn't the one you buy them in, it's the one you store them in. A pencil case.

It's like saying not the sharpest knife in the drawer, or tool in the shed.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Looking kinda dumb

[–] PwnTra1n@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I’d argue if you are speaking on the sharpness of an item it would be implied that they are supposed to be sharp. “Sharpest tool in the shed” discounts the hammer you have in there as useless when it just might not be the right tool for the job but it implies the need for a sharp tool currently.

"Unless it's being properly maintained and gets sharpened as needed."

[–] pilaz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

"In that case, someone other than the pencil ought to do that job, don't you agree?"

I have tested as "color superior". At my work, we had to match colorant of the product we were manufacturing. It requires a sign off from someone who can pass the color test. You line up little color samples in order from lightest to darkest, and I pass everytime.

except this one day. I was the only woman in the department, and you can imagine the shit Id hear on a daily basis. I had failed the test and I said, "ahh its probably cuz my cunt is bleeding, Im not feeling my best and I probably fucked it up" or somethinh like that, I forgot what I said exactly, but I got a chuckle from my coworkers however I worded it.

Later thay day HR called me in. I think the dork who admin. the test bitched I said that. When she told me, I laughed "do you know what I hear daily out there on the floor? Ive never complained once and I hear wild shit all the time". I promised not to make the same comment and left the meeting laughing to myself

little bitch boys will talk all the shit, say aweful things, be misoginistic, bigoted, but they draw the line at "my cunt is bleeding"

fucking babies.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

After all I've heard on factory floors that's fucking hilarious

Sometimes I rather enjoy working for boomers. My boss will just light up a cigarette in the shop, we rag on eachother constantly and joke about hanging ourselves from the rafters.

[–] Napster153@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

The genuinely good baby boomers are definitely a highlight to socialise people. Really good, appreciative folk who do they're best.

That's starting to happen with Gen X already. As you get older you give fewer shits.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago

Gen X here, and I ran out of shits to give years ago.

That second guy hasn't heard of pencil sharpeners

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

The company keeps me sharp, that's why I'm almost dead

[–] StillAlive@piefed.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"Give me a tug and I'll be sharp again."

[–] Janx@piefed.social 5 points 1 month ago

That's another meeting with HR.

Many living babies are cut directly out of living mothers every single day and it tends to work really great for everyone involved and I think that's neat.

Humans are metal AF, occasionally, in a positive way.
