Sometimes I wonder if the people working at frontier AI labs even talk to other humans anymore.

Reading this little essay started out normal, but soon felt like a look into a disturbed and worrying mind, and if you find yourself taking it at face value, I urge you to step away from chat bots and spend some time with friends and family.

Frontier AI labs I don't know, but I know for a fact that the company I work for has been experiencing "its pivotal moment" (with strongly negative connotation), per the sentiments of both its longest-serving employees and the newcomers baffled at the number of idiotic instructions and fines, since the emergence of LLMs the company's founder has been spending entire nights chatting with.

People have been fleeing like it's a sinking ship.

Wait. Fines?

Yes, you didn't bend over to persuade that client to place this order? Get your fine (as in get less for this specific task).

What country is this? Where is this legal?
