Low-life cyberpunk: AI is here (not really), but you have to physically be present at work instead of remoting (makes bosses feel useful). PS: did not read - share the prompt not the output, RedMonk.

Will your AI Teammate hit the penjamin with you in the parking lot? We need to engineer AI that can replicate the necessary prerequisites to understanding what makes a good bagel good in the first place. Otherwise they might waste money on low quality bagels, or just generally have no chill, and that is unacceptable.

Love the title, I use to bring the donuts from a small one place donut shop in my neighborhood. He makes great donuts. But to be fair, WFH (work from home) has the same outcome.

The phrase "ai teammate" feels popularized as a marketing strategy to position individual agents as comparable in value to a human worker. When I think about how they are actually used however, it seems like an incredibly unproductive framing. An agent is a computer program. You can copy them 100 times on the spot if you find the need. You can modify, delete, upgrade, or replace them instantly. You can keep them up 24/7 or run them only on user request. The "teammate" framing obscures all the software-type things you can do with it. Imagine Excel processes or crawler bot instances being given little human names and pictures; being slotted into an org chart. Absolutely the wrong way of thinking about it.

  it's also meant to endear them to the people subject to the replacement trial if successful: the rest will be gone too

  Yea they do a good job in the article calling this out > A teammate is someone who shares your objectives. You’re playing the same game, working toward the same goal, invested in each other’s success. LLMs cannot be a teammate because they are not playing the same game nor working towards the same goals.

  > Making friends through capitalism Capitalism is the political economy of our civilization. It's the social substrate through which we relate. Are you seriously suggesting that we give up on making friends?
