Hi this is a relatively new form of ‘ragebait’ ad which is designed to be shared on social media by people who hate it.
The vast majority of people think it’s disgusting, but it gets shared around enough that the CO’s which they’re actually marketing to will see it and be tempted.
Please don’t give it the attention it wants.

really?
Yes. It loosely fits into the category of viral marketing, which usually tries to exploit positive emotions to spread brand awareness (eg. through memes), but in this case they’re achieving the same effect by harnessing people’s anger at the state of the world. It’s a little dark!
Hate drives post interaction more than any other emotion, advertising is now all about online post interaction because it’s where many people shop now. Anytime you feel upset at an Ad it means it worked because you thought about it.
Maybe this should be the graffiti
Well, shit

And I fell for the rage bait too
Seems to work too well…I doubt there are any CEOs on Lemmy
Yes.

Cleaned out your production server and all backups.
There are zero bugs now

Why didn’t you remove the server? This would have saved valuble money.
That’s a super lame meatspace task for meat puppets.
“NEVER FUCKING GUESS!” — and that’s exactly what I did. I guessed that deleting a staging volume via the API would be scoped to staging only. I didn’t verify.

There’s a little accelerationist inside of me, that hopes that every company that can “hire” AI, does so and ruins their entire bussiness and goes bankrupt with it.
I imagine a lot of the companies will realize that the purported benefits of AI have hidden defects they have to fix, piling up lots of hidden technical/administrative debt, right around the time their AI vendors jack up prices or go out of business so that they’re stuck with unmaintainable stuff (code, workflows, processes) that they don’t fully understand, built by and for AI agents that no longer exist.
And then get bailed out
Only the biggest ones

It is morally correct to graffiti any ad.
But we can start with this one :)
Truly ‘ads should be banned outright’ isn’t popular enough of an opinion 😔
My utopia is a world without sales and marketing.
Local hand-made produce only unless global collaboration is necessary and desired 😌

Booking meetings is not a fucking achievement. In my line of work having a bunch of meetings means shit is going off the rails. but I guess this ad is probably targeted at the worthless middle managers that don’t know what to do with their time if they’re not in meetings all day.
My company sometimes we just have meetings for fun.
Like next week, ive got a meeting scheduled with my my friend, whos our marketing and sales lead, not because theres anything work related that we couldnt handle with phone or email, but just because weve both been super busy outside of work, and haven’t had a chance to hang in a couple months.
So weve scheduled a 2 hour meeting for Wednesday end of day, and we’ll grab drinks, go over the sales permitting and builds for the next month, and catch up.

Gave your clients root access because they asked nicely

Deleted your client’s entire database because someone told them to as a joke (in an unrelated post on StackOverflow 11 years ago).

im so tired man jst stop giving them human names for fuck sake
agreed
same with robotics tech, the humanoid shape is way less practical than for example something spiderlike
"Booked 12 meetings, 3 of which are at the same time and 2 with people you don’t even know they just want to contact you about your car insurance.
I also researched 1268 prospects that are completely useless and never should have been looked at in the first place but high numbers look productive."
I just researched 12680 prospects! What does it mean? Who the fuck knows. Sounds impressive though.
What does BDR mean in this context ?
Ok I also had this question and everyone was just cracking jokes instead of answering it.
Business Development Representative is the most likely correct answer given the context
Oh god.
I think ive just realised that this bot scans your emails for “prospects” and tries to schedule meetings with them?
The fuck is wrong with people.
I dont necessarily hate AI, I use it day to day at work.
But this is absurd. Any clunker emailing me has no chance of securing an appointment. What a way to communicate with potential new customers.
I use it day to day at work.
I hope you realize that you’re part of the problem. Stop legitimizing this shit.
If you get upset every time you hear about AI, you’re going to spend the rest of your life being mad.
Cool

Is that why all the AI company logos look like top-down views of the poop emoji or a sphincter muscle?
I’m assuming it’s for “bad disgusting robot”. But maybe that’d make too much sense.

what the other guy said. Business Development is basically b2b sales.
But I used to work with a lot of b2b salesman. Yeah a lot of the products I bought were expensive but one reason for that was the sales people. Often they would come to my company, setup a demo using our products to confirm they would work as intended, when delivered they would be present to verify proper setup and operation. About the only part an Ai might be able to do is help in selection of proper options for your application, for example on a computerized microscope if you’re looking for small features it’s sometimes better to get B&W camera instead of color as it can detect smaller differences in contrast between two areas. Maybe an Ai could potentially determine and recommend that(not with current tech but in the future maybe) but every other aspect of technical b2b sales would be impossible.
It’s as if they think the purpose of work is just to be as busy as possible and not to support people’s lives.
That is definitely a common thought amongst the management types.
What the hell is Artisan’s problem? Being human and needing days off is a sin now?
Always has been in the capitalist American dream.
As soon as they automate labour and violence, they won’t need the proletariat at all.
And given how much they’ve cared for us historically, I think this should be raising much more concerns.
A lot of people with no money, shelter, or food with lots of time on their hands should scare them more.
Should, but doesn’t, because everyone is apathic as fuck and the rich have got private security and labour for them.
And lots of people just don’t understand which side they’re on.
“Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires”
How long is that private security going to last as they see their friends and family all suffer from what their bosses are doing?
Just a thought.
You’d be fucking surprised, man. Genuinely.
These 12 fucking meetings could have been emails you fucking AI fuck.
I’ve been using chatgpt for checking up on documentation, it’s points you in the right direction most of the time, but omg it’s like talking to a mirror, the self confirming bias is insane
You’re absolutely right about that
You sunofabiche
Not sure if ai 🤔
artisan is such an oxymoron
