This blog about experiencing a workplace in the public sector going all in on LLM usage and having absolutely fuck all to show for it while any quantity of money for real work goes away to the LLM companies is worthwhile reading. It makes me think of David Graeber and Bullshit Jobs. There are people whose whole workplace experience is basically to be the one person (or group) in the organization who does the work, surrounded by bullshit jobs.
