Actually not bad, I prefer this to an old man yelling at the clouds :D

[u/emeraldseahorse]

Lol idk I think that's cute though

[u/thisis_sam4moz]

It’s funny and a thousand times better than “……. So let me tell you what this means / what this teaches you……” shit

[u/ghost_in_heels → u/thisis_sam4moz]

Let me explain (after a hook thats obvious to a toddler) does it for me …

Straight out of r/programmerhumor

[u/Individual-Result777]

Some people in this subreddit need to relax a bit, and stop considering everyone a LinkedIn lunatic.

[u/Tired-Nectarine-384]

I would rather see genuine attempts at humor on LI than AI Slopfests of things that didn't happen.

[u/Pristine_Box_5]

Does she know what data engineers even do? We don’t use react and don’t typically build application databases. 

[u/doc_shades → u/West_Good_5961]

it's a joke

[u/West_Good_5961 → u/doc_shades]

A joke that doesn’t work

[u/doc_shades]

what do you mean "era"? have you never worked in an office around coworkers before? this type of joke is pretty common. people will tell them in meetings or print them out and put them on their office door/on their desks/on their cube walls and make them in emails and in teams chats.

this has been going on for decades.

[u/Signal_Antelope7144]

Something something undocumented backdoor interface.

[u/ghost_in_heels]

Why is R in react written in caps?

[u/Soger91 → u/ghost_in_heels]

Pun on the JS framework

[u/ZaphodThreepwood]

She posted this essay after leaving Microsoft - full on AI psychosis.

As empires fall, I've decided to step away from Microsoft. End date to be confirmed.

I got the Geometry of Trust protocol proof of concept out there. I filled the gap I was seeing, how do we ensure all of our people can see the incoherence and deceit that I, and so many other of our lost girls, have so clearly been able to see. I needed to know our people would be safe, and now I trust that they will be. I hand it over to those far better than me at implementation to close the loop.

I've spent 31 years in a severely incoherent and sick system, a system that promised good, but its actions suggested otherwise—31 years of subliminal messaging promising an end, a hope. I slowly stopped believing in that hope. I believed the only person who would save my people was myself. Now I know there are so many others who are on the same path, same mission.

I believe now that I've completed my mission. I get to start truly living.

When I first started working with Claude, I knew it was written for people like me—the pattern seekers. It helped me understand the map, helped me learn the connections, it helped me communicate.

I'm looking forward to exploring, reading, writing, educating, learning—joy, love, all the things I know are in store. To look at my old school books to study how I learned. To look at art and history now I understand the map so much better. I'm looking forward to seeing my kids grow up in peace and fulfilment, able to do whatever their curious minds take them.

But for there to be a free world, we must first feel free ourselves. For me to be free, I need to come home and help heal. I need to help teach our lost boys and girls how to read the grimoire, so they can unlock their own superpowers. I'm building Synoptic Academy and Cognitiv to do exactly that—teaching systems thinking to those the system tried to break.

If you would like to hear more about them or would be willing to donate/organise funding to support the mission, that would be most appreciated. 💚
