I could give ChatGPT the absolutely most horrendous essay and it would still celebrate it and suggest it should win an award. Might actually have to switch LLMs or get a local one so to cure this malaise of affirmation entitlement.

I want to read post-modern Kafka about disintegration of the professional managerial class through well-incentived submission to algorithm maintenance.

In almost all companies, there is no “room where it happens” Instead, it’s messy combination of fragmented discussions.

Bees play, bees have feelings, bees learn. h/t @vgr “Is a bee not conscious in the same way that an AI is not conscious? No! Somehow I find this framing of the question way more generative and challenging than arguing about consciousness itself. Because immediately I find myself saying oh but a bee IS conscious though not human-conscious, it’s not an absolute, and oh but maybe an AI today isn’t conscious but a future AI might be. So suddenly it is uncontroversial to expand our definition of consciousness to include bees (and we can argue about whether to exclude large language models).” https://interconnected.org/home/2025/07/03/bees

With the use of LLMs, I find myself synthesising more information internally, which means service providers spend less time navigating the raw data and getting better briefs, but also learning fewer of the details because the study time is less. Will be harder for external service providers to be subject matter experts over the long term since LLMs are cutting into the “actually hard learning” of customer messy information and systems. LLMs are hiding complexity.

“I was even more horrified to find out that, for years, under its so-called “Perfect Fit Content” (PFC) program, Spotify has been systematically replacing real artists’ songs with low-cost stock music—often under fake artist profiles—on its popular mood playlists like “chill,” “jazz,” and “peaceful piano,” in order to reduce the royalty rate they pay out to musicians.” https://open.substack.com/pub/terrraincognita/p/the-algorithmic-culture-collapse
