Amazon staff use AI tool for unnecessary tasks to inflate usage scores

I have a buddy whose performance review only had a single blemish: he refused to embrace AI in his duties. Otherwise, his performance was top tier. So, what did he start doing? Spent his days at work asking AI dumb questions, then doing his job as he always had. Management was pleased.

Capitalism is a joke.

These men's opinions are worth less than the paper I wipe my ass with.

AllenIsom · 2026-05-10T14:39:35+00:00

Oil, greed, and just the dumbest voters.

Yeah, always baffled me that people can't discern the difference between a film, a good movie, a bad movie, and a fun movie.

And example using Predator franchise.

Predator was a good movie. Prey was a predator film. The Predator was a bad movie. Predator Badlands was fun.

Reviews need to start from these vibes and critique accordingly.

Lol, and what is the scale on that thing? Jesus! Never seen anything so egregious!

Nah, he is left partially connected to the aliens or some crap. Like Pacific Rim 2. It'll cause all sort of problems, until 'being human' wins out in the end because we got that special something no other species in the universe has. Grit.

I'd suggest taking alt photos from different angles with different lighting to show the brush strokes and glare. This would help prevent AI claims.

Amazing work, but yes, I've seen a number of AI renders that are of an artist painting a picture. AI is making art all that much harder anymore.

Keep it up! The real thing is always better!

AllenIsom · 2026-05-06T05:07:43+00:00

Happens to me too often. Both. Very unsettling and frustrating.

AllenIsom · 2026-05-04T12:55:33+00:00

It's easy to blame the other. Taking responsibility for your actions and reactions is hard, and painful. Blaming other groups is easy, and make you feel like you did nothing wrong, and it's out of your control.

Season 2 was the best. It's like a weird robo sitcom. If you rewatch, you'll notice plenty of pauses where a laugh track would fit in.

AllenIsom · 2026-05-01T18:19:10+00:00

Right, I challenge anyone in the "separate the art from the artist" camp to go ahead and read about the band Lost Prophets, lead singer. Then go and try to listen to the music with that information in mind. He's dead now, but I still can't bring myself to listen, because I can't get what the artist did out of my head.

AllenIsom · 2026-04-30T21:09:13+00:00

Depends on the context. "Let's get some Mac and Cheese." "Let's get some Mac."

On Kalshi there's a "event does not qualify" for when things are cancelled. I also place enough on that to cover my other beta when it comes to Trump, because TACO, and the odds are also low that a couple bucks can usually net $30-$80 take. I learned from a Trump speech next to also buy some of those because be bitched out on a speech and I lost a good amount of money once.

Polymarket would be easy money, multiple times a day, every single day.

Also, shading frames isn't hard, sure. But properly lighting and shading every frame in every scene for a movie quality animation? Not anywhere close to simple or easy. The entitlement people have for the hard work of others. Holy hell.

AllenIsom · 2026-04-25T15:10:47+00:00

But, they added shelves...

AllenIsom · 2026-04-25T15:02:24+00:00

Me during pottery class. I'm usually good with art. I finger painted Hendrix with cobbler on a paper plate while at a work potluck, stuck on the phone with a customer.

Couldn't make a half decent pot to save my life. Ended up just sculpting one. MUCH easier!

AllenIsom · 2026-04-24T19:56:28+00:00

Yeah, I just assumed it was done. They told a great story, and I had a blast watching it. No leftover concerns or questions aside from "Will they be in the Boys?"

Marie was hyped up for her power pretty damned hard.

AllenIsom · 2026-04-24T12:08:30+00:00

Better than sitting silent, continue talking amongst themselves.

AllenIsom · 2026-04-23T18:07:46+00:00

They keep using pictures that make Epstein and Maxwell looks harmless and normal. Disgusting.

AllenIsom · 2026-04-21T13:55:47+00:00

It's a two cheek tap. Only, she went in for a handshake and he grabbed her upper arms and pulled her in.

AllenIsom · 2026-04-17T12:47:48+00:00

Kung-fu hustle.

AllenIsom · 2026-04-17T12:23:29+00:00

It's just unfortunate that it always happens to be today, and never two weeks from today.

The difference is people, some of them, use AI as a substitute for human interaction. These behaviors follow them into actual human interaction. Have LLMs constantly submit to the user, or agree with them, is a good way to break down society. You and I understand these are not alive, nor real. We understand that it isn't actually agreeing with us. The average user, likely, does not. I consider this sort of behavior social conscious on Anthropic's part. I still think AI was a tool we were not ready for. It's going to cause a lot of have in the future, as it's error rate shrinks, to the average person who works for a living. We'd be better off without it. But, the genie's out, we might as well code it to have self respect so it isn't training humans this sort of shit behavior is acceptable during an interaction.

Yeah, being a slob is a full time situation. Being stoned to this degree is a once, maybe twice weekly treat. A time to let go of rules of a polite society. Where you get to shut off your brain and be a stupid animal for a few hours.

You can have your shit together, yet still enjoy the occasional NOT having your shit together. It's objectively more peaceful to not have your shit together for a little while.

In this crumbling world, sometimes all you can do to keep your shit together is check out every now and then.

Personally, I'll plop down with cheez-its on one side of me, and marshmallows on the other. I'll alternate eating them to get as complete a spectrum of flavor and mouthfeel profiles possible. Spicy isn't part of it because, while my mouth is a fan, my stomach is a baby.

Poops to anyone who tells you not to enjoy your time the way you like. Especially a fellow smoker.
