I really wish more folks would have the stones to name and shame these shitty companies and leaders in public. Stop letting the C-Suite control the narrative and just be bluntly honest with these slapdash, fad-chasing, shitshow LLM “implementations”.

It’s not properly using the tools, it’s not improving products, it’s just burning money in the furnace of Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, Oracle, nVidia, and OpenAI. You’re not building world-changing pipelines, your executives demanded you gamble at the slop machine as fast as possible to inflate share values so they can parachute out.

You owe them nothing, so start snitching. Scream openly about the harm this blind push into fads did to the humans, the product, the customers, and the shareholders. The truly excellent use of LLMs continues getting overshadowed by the blind fealty marches and purity tests orgs instituted around mass-adoption and cognitive-offloading, and you’re doing every stakeholder a disservice by pussy-footing around the issue.

Find your spine and name names.

the non-disparagement clause of my contract precludes me from naming names unless I feel like suffering great financial harm through civil litigation..
