    AI expected to create efficiencies

    Couldn’t help but chuckle at that bullet point. We should know by now that AI creates lots of cognitive debt and unstable, vibe-coded software, as well as making people stupid. But one thing it absolutely doesn’t seem to do is make things more efficient long term.

      The problem here is “expected.” Maybe they’re right and AI will do what they say…well, show us the receipts first then before you ruin thousands of people’s lives?

          Through great effort we have molded this once analog curiosity into a digital ouroboros… to very nearly duplicate Kyle from accounting!

          … Admittedly this would be the Kyle following the unfortunate kick to the head from that clydesdale.

          Nevermind that! We’ve gone ahead and laid off the rest off accounting and now Kyle² is wielding immesurable power to… Oh. Oh dear.
