Me: “All right, feeling good! Looking forward to locking in and getting some serious work done 😎”
My coworkers: *immediately gather around my cubicle to loudly socialize*
My family: “When are we going to see you again??”
My watch: “It’s literally 4:30 pm, bro”
Me: “FFFFFFFFFFFFffffffffff”

AI Companies Using AI to Suppress AI Regulation
In February, PauseAI received an email from Michael Chen, a journalist at The Wire by Acutus. He was looking for a response to an article he was writing about what he called “escalating anti-AI radicalism.”
Only Michael Chen does not exist.
According to an in-depth investigation by Model Republic, Michael Chen is an AI agent – an AI system capable of researching, emailing, interviewing, writing and publishing content.
Model Republic’s reporting indicates that almost the entire Acutus website is generated by AI and that the trail of ownership appears to lead back to OpenAI.
These are the sorts of things our descendants will read about in history books and think, “How in the world could they have missed these signs? Why weren’t there riots? Were our ancestors just that dense? Or were they truly more afraid of embarassment than death–or the death of their children?”
Of course, that’s assuming we have any descendants.

Pivot?
I’m considering changing careers and becoming a therapist. With all the jobs being taken over by AI, I forsee high demand!
Plus, I figure by the time AI can take over my job, we’ll either be living in a post-scarcity society or we’ll all be dead.
It’s foolproof!
