That's extremely the aesthetic I love about cyberpunk. Sure the story in Blade Runner is great but look at all the neat shit!

On the inverse I've found it to be quite bad at that. I can generally count on the AI answer to be wrong, fundamentally.

Might depend on your industry. It's garbage at g code.

It is. Fat and sugar are not the same thing. Hot pockets contain about 25 grams of fat and 10 grams of sugar. Depending on the product. The label does not indicate any HFCS but the effect described above would be achieved with any sugar and most sugar substitutes.

The majority of calories from hot pockets are from empty carbs, and that is what's causing you to feel hungry after eating them. 72g of carbs to 43g of combined fat and protein, and only 2g of fiber.

So we've been down that road. There are company computers available for that purpose, and training has been provided. It's a joke we tell each other around here that the only training we get is on the app.

For the handful of folks who are legally prohibited from having a smart phone, the state has requirements in place that they be notified of any schedule changes in advance, they're often the first to know.

The CEO frequently holds little meetings and fields questions, that's the next route.

I don't know what they were sold or why they're so insistent that we download the app, but their feverish insistence that we download it sure makes me suspicious.

Almost certainly. If the guy who was making yandere simulator was tasked with a sprinkler app, it wouldn't be much worse than it currently is.

I don't know shit about fuck when it comes to programming, but I know bad programming when I see it.

I'm sure it can't actually do any of those things, but it would be nice if it would stop suggesting that it could when I try to open up certain things

I did mention that when I connected to it via a VPN I could see my outgoing traffic spike suspiciously, that particular member of HR is no longer with the company and few of those remaining have the technical background to understand why I find that problematic.

Sadly around here, you're either on board with the direction the ship is sailing, or you're not on board. Those is us in bargained positions have been fine, and voice our frustrations freely. But management does not have the same freedom to do so.

I did mention at one of these meetings that we wouldn't give them space on our personal devices for free, it did not change their tune. The union has been hammering them on it during negotiations but I doubt they'll budge on that and we have bigger issues to deal with so they won't let it be a sticking point.

If I could rip that thing off the wall and replace it with a spigot I would.

My wife wants it, and she cares more about the grass than I do.

I have never actually tried, it's just suggesting it as an app that can do those things.

I work in a manufacturing environment. A few years ago they decided they needed a company social media app. They hired, or more likely were sold the idea by Salesforce and built this stupid ass website, then went on a fucking War campaign to get people to install the app on their phone.

They demanded. They begged. They removed functions of HR to the app exclusively. When we protested they simply said no, no room to negotiate, no give. You will use the app or you will not have access to certain information required to do your job. When they closed the plant one day and posted it on the app, they threatened to write up an entire shift that showed up to work anyway without knowing any better.

Because apparently, when you get up at 4 am the first thing you're supposed to do every day is check an app on your phone to see if you have work that day.

They used to just push out a robo call.

When we have committee meetings with HR they go something like this.

HR: how can we get you guys on the app Committee: how can we retrieve these functions from the app HR: you can't Committee: that's your answer.

There have been at least 6 versions of this meeting that I have been a part of.

Most of my coworkers are older than me. Few of them have fancy phones, generally the most basic phone you can get. A number of my coworkers are on parole or work release and have limited access to smart phones for one reason or another and literally have no access to the app.

I was chatting with one of the IT gals recently and apparently resistance to the app is pretty widespread. When I said "venture capital IT firm" she gave me a high five.

They want everyone using this thing and maybe 15% of the company has it. Then they switched to Workday.

It hasn't gone well.
