Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.
$30 per seat per month.
$1.4 million annually.
I called it "digital transformation."
The board loved that phrase.
They approved it in eleven minutes.
No one asked what it would actually do.
Including me.
I told everyone it would "10x productivity."
That's not a real number.
But it sounds like one.
HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.
I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."
They stopped asking.
Three months later I checked the usage reports.
47 people had opened it.
12 had used it more than once.
One of them was me.
I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.
It took 45 seconds.
Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.
But I called it a "pilot success."
Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.
The CFO asked about ROI.
I showed him a graph.
The graph went up and to the right.
It measured "AI enablement."
I made that metric up.
He nodded approvingly.
We're "AI-enabled" now.
I don't know what that means.
But it's in our investor deck.
A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.
I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."
He asked what that meant.
I said "compliance."
He asked which compliance.
I said "all of them."
He looked skeptical.
I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."
He stopped asking questions.
Microsoft sent a case study team.
They wanted to feature us as a success story.
I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."
I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.
They didn't verify it.
They never do.
Now we're on Microsoft's website.
"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."
The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.
He got 3,000 likes.
He's never used Copilot.
None of the executives have.
We have an exemption.
"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."
I wrote that policy.
The licenses renew next month.
I'm requesting an expansion.
5,000 more seats.
We haven't used the first 4,000.
But this time we'll "drive adoption."
Adoption means mandatory training.
Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.
But completion will be tracked.
Completion is a metric.
Metrics go in dashboards.
Dashboards go in board presentations.
Board presentations get me promoted.
I'll be SVP by Q3.
I still don't know what Copilot does.
But I know what it's for.
It's for showing we're "investing in AI."
Investment means spending.
Spending means commitment.
Commitment means we're serious about the future.
The future is whatever I say it is.
As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

Hey @PandaExpress! 🐼 The non-spicy Wok-Fired Shrimp is a total game changer for the #WokSmart menu. 🍤🔥 It’s the perfect high-protein, fresh option. Please make it a permanent staple! Who else wants more non-spicy seafood? 🙋♂️ #PandaExpress #HealthyEating

@ThirdEchelon111 @TaraBull Such a shame he left so early… Clips like the Pepsi commercial were one of a kind.
English

@TaraBull Michael Jackson was truly an astounding musical artist.
He had a cruel father that forced the family into the limelight, but as it turned out, his youngest son was easily the greatest pop star this world will ever see.

@clairvoyant2035 @scovell222 Navy and Coast Guard both have Captain rank O-6. It comes from the highest ranking officer running a ship. All other branches are O-3 Captains.
English

@scovell222 @RealJamesWoods Did not know that meant O-6 in the Air Force.
It's O-3 in the Army

@PolitiBunny She is so much worse than an embarrassment and definitely does not deserve to be here in the USA and CERTAINLY not in the House of Representatives. Her crimes should be appropriately investigated and punished.
English

If you were right you wouldn’t have to lock down your comments.
What an embarrassment you are.
Ilhan Omar@IlhanMN
Donald Trump killed two of my constituents. He is a liar and should be ashamed of himself.
English

@mwrldn @EvanAKilgore Fun reference to the "Truman Show." Nicely played.

@r34_painchaud @FoxNews Big difference between a 14 year old and one old enough to tend bar. By the way "Jersey Mike's" founder, now billionaire, Peter Cancro began working at Mike's Subs when he was 14.
English

BAR NONE: Sen. John Kennedy mockingly compares AOC to former VP Harris after her comments at the Munich Security Conference.
He says Republicans should continue to use "Operation Let Her Speak."
"So far it's working, and my message to my friend the congresswoman is: You go girl, you just keep it up."

@ChrisMartzWX Always follow the money. Obama had his Solyndra, & his puppet biden had even more grift and corruption pushing to end the oil and gas industry well ahead of its time. We need more nuclear & other actual replacement energy first. Wind and solar will never be that.
English

97% of climate “scientists” agree that they don't want to lose their funding.
Mark M@mmullins99
@ChrisMartzWX So 97% of climate scientists are wrong and you’re right. Got it. Profiteering hack.
English

@1776Carolina3 @ABC Definitely not just allowed in, they were literally encouraged, like you said with engraved invitations, or even special "Biden Let Us In" T-shirts. And caravan after caravan of 10's of thousands streaming our border.
English

@ABC It's almost like *maybe* the last administration shouldn't have sent an engraved invitations for folks to enter illegally en masse or something....yall are ridiculous 🙄
English

@AbramsonFL @ScottJenningsKY President Trump should do exactly as he has been because it takes that and more to prevent our complete destruction. Dems want personal power and wealth so much they will destroy our country to get it.
English

@ScottJenningsKY He’s right though. Most Republicans I know think Trump goes too far on a lot of issues — but they think Democrats are evil so they continue supporting Trump
English

Buttigieg grew a beard and believe it imbues him with magical insights into what Republicans think
Pete Buttigieg@PeteButtigieg
Even if you do usually vote Republican, most of us can agree at this point that the administration has gone way, way too far.
English

@LangmanVince More like a Billy than Billie. Wearing a male neck tie only helped me reach my conclusion. Pretty stupid person no mater which. But smart enough to get people to pay. There is that.
English

@townhallcom Big surprise after all the “prove to me!” comments the host tells Ben they are going to stop for just a moment after he tries to get a word in. Could the bias and double standard be any more blatant?
English

@Mondaymondtwo Hey Monday you were far too kind with an attractive woman AI Meme when we all know the Broiler Pan protestor nut job is hideous.
English

@WesternLensman @ScottJenningsKY Scott sat there respectfully despite all the garbage being spewed, and then when it was his chance to speak, he was interrupted rudely within 15 seconds!
English


@johnnymaga So MSNow believes WI man and Good are/were doing “work?” He should be fired for such complete and total BS. Makes me sick to hear such idiocy here in our own country.
English

@lou76049 @nicoleshodges @AGEllison Maybe they dropped the kids off at the Learing Center child care?
AG Ellison you really want to go against lawful actions removing illegal aliens and apparent fraudsters from Minnesota? Where have you been the last few years when the scammers were getting rich?
English

@nicoleshodges @AGEllison She caused her own death! Her and Her wifde who told her to drive away!. They should have been home lioving their kids not dropping them off so they can invite danger in ttheir lives by crossing the line on protests. If her car was barreling at you, you would have shot also.

@hemantmehta This is what happens when we let savages emigrate 2 the USA with little regard 4 the history of our founding, and twist the words of the Constitution into their own little DEI NewSpeak hell holes. See New York City, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, San Francisco, and LA 4 details
English

A governor is not a preacher.
A proclamation is not a sermon.
So why is Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders telling state employees to spend the holidays "giving thanks for Christ’s birth"?

@RepAprilDelaney @ICEgov Rep Delaney, how many times did you write and visit the DC prison like MTG did to ensure the J6 prisoners had the conditions you seem worried about for illegal aliens? I won’t expect a public answer. Also, how many of your “constituents are” illegal? >5%?
English

I'm demanding entry into the @ICEgov facility in #Baltimore so I can do my constitutionally required oversight of a facility that has my constituents locked inside. More: mcclaindelaney.house.gov/media/press-re…

@alp54561840 @EricLDaugh Thank you Al. I don’t think I could have been that forgiving. My brother-in-law wears a Trump hat almost 24/7 and never has any trouble regardless of where he goes. His secret: he definitely looks like he has no patience with lefties and they see it.
English

@EricLDaugh In this video this sweet lady Jeanie is the perfect example of two of the teachings of Jesus.
Matthew 5:39 - “Turn the other cheek”
Matthew 22:39 - “Love they neighbor as thyself”
God bless her
English

🚨 BREAKING: In an incredible development, Jeanie from Target has $125,000 THOUSAND raised - after she got harassed by a leftist for wearing a Charlie Kirk shirt while working.
THIS IS AMAZING!
The fundraiser said to give her a "vacation," but I think the good people of America are now helping her RETIRE!
Taking care of our own. That's how it's done. I think Charlie would be proud 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@OrderOfMentats @greg_price11 Grifters gotta grift. She likely helped him pad the billing that way and the truth or quiet part came out. LOL. Stupid.
English

@greg_price11 160 hours per week!? so he was working 22+ hours every day! Wow. Fani is such a putz.
