I officially hate our IT Director. Fuck that guy. "Hohoho, maybe the Natrium guys could finish up their reactor so we don't we have to worry about powering ITs AI projects." I'm busting my ass along with the rest of my team and all the other teams on this project to deliver one of this company's three major products and you have the fucking gall to joke about that when I can't get action on IT tickets to move a single directory from one machine to another. So fuck your AI and fuck you.

Remember when the common wisdom was to not pirate commercial software because downloading random executables was likely to infect you with malware that would steal your data or worse? Now we pay for legitimate, signed copies of software from vendors who load their applications with AI "features" that exfiltrate your data to remote servers and no way to disable that. I feel old. When I started out, we got our malware for free and were doing something wrong when we did. Maybe this is payback for all those C64 games I pirated when I was 16.
