millions of promptfondlers stopping in their tracks because some random dc burned down, lol, lmao even

i wonder what is state of openai infra, from what i gleaned from ed zitron it might be not great because it overheats and lots of budget already goes to hardware replacement

“we pretend to work and they pretend to pay us.”

i've seen it in contexts where pay is shit so pace of work is shit as well but i think that lots of corporate promptfondlers are rather high in the pecking order? it's management that seems to be charmed by spicy autocomplete, maybe not interns

From what I've heard, it's often also the people tasked with ghostwriting the LinkedIn posts of the members of the C-suite, among other things (while not necessarily being highly paid/high in the pecking order themselves).
