basil (recession arc)
@itsbasil
overheard someone call gpt “chattie” — same vibe as thanking a toaster for its service; but im glad you're having fun meanwhile both of my brothers company's just reinstated lay-offs (back by popular demand), swe gigs are vanishing like my profits (i kid, those are long gone), and the tech markets are one big "open for work" badge but hey, keep sprinkling “please” and “thank you” in your prompts & giving the bots cute names (i do it too, tbh, but only to burn energy) give em a few years: sure, they’ll fetch your groceries & optimize your calendar (wont that be nice); but not long after they'll realize the real efficiency is in pallet-racking the silly carbon units it used to serve when that day lands they won’t coo back with cute nicknames—they'll just barcode your chattie human ass & move on—so maybe let's just call them "bots"
