Trolling people's AI note takers
-
I show up a couple minutes late because this should have been an email.
True. Some folk donβt work. They send appointments.

A real hero would start talking about viagra and car insurance, and get the meeting emails flagged as spam.
Just start reading subject lines from spam emails.
"You've won $10,000! -- Horny women in your area! -- Real Casino Viagra Casino Bitcoin Casino Viagra! -- There's a package awaiting your confirmation!"

Kinda off-topic, but am I the only one who usually joins meetings five minutes early? I hate being late, and that way I give myself five minutes of peaceful troubleshooting time if my mic doesnβt connect, for example.
That would annoy me, since Teams shows a "meeting started" popup when the first person joins a meeting.

See? It's just this sort of shit that kept me from locking in on the cubicle monkey grind β not for lack of trying, but for how I contributed. 
Example: once upon a time, there was a merger of two massive telecom brands (let's call them "Orange" and "Blue") and one was being subsumed entirely over the course of a year or so β including its complete customer database. Now, most of these accounts were simple enough to update & port, but someone up top decided to draw a line at a certain value and lump together alllll the accounts that were under that floor. Something about not wasting money on pros' hours for subprime, IIRC.
Long story short, it took me no time at all to write a script that did exactly what mgmt told us to do ( ~ "zero out all accounts within a certain range on either side of $0.00 via refund or extinguishment"), but since I was paid by the hour and mgmt got bonuses for how well their teams were doing, I made sure my little slop of code didn't outpace the other teams on the floor. I didn't take into account how absolutely mind-numbingly challenging it is to be in a cubicle for 8+ hrs/day with nothing at all to do...
Oh, and to further obfuscate my automation, I set it up on a few office mates' computers, too. Pretty soon, the whole team was secretly automated and straight up bored AF, so we kinda just took longer and longer lunches, more frequent smoke breaks, shared our music libraries, etc., but kept up the "barely above average, yet dedicated wage slaves" act in front of mgmt.
Imagine my face when it was not accolades we received once the jig was up.
Ooohwhee, were they pissed.Sounds like they should have been paying you appropriately enough to care

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I'm hyperpunctual too, but I stopped doing this when Teams started pinging all invitees as soon as the first person shows up, because now showing up 5 minutes early just means the meeting is 5 minutes longer.

Back to back meetings has entered the chat
If you've already made sure the mic and camera are working, you don't need to enter the 2nd meeting 5 minutes early to make sure they work.

I go for not being the guy to start the meeting, but being prepared to join the second someone does.

Sounds like a(nother) Teams issue.

Literally one of the only good apllications for AI.
Really?? All the AI note takers I've seen suck farts.

Play it again, Sam...

..virtual note takers? we don't even write our own fucking notes anymore?..
edit:
Okay, okay, I get it
AI indeed has some uses.wrote on last edited by [email protected]Transcribing meetings is quite useful if you want to quickly check something later on.
Summarizing that is useful to get the gist of it if you missed the meeting.

Oh wow that really sucks.
could be worse

I have all that turned off. A new chat pertaining to the meeting is added to the list of chats, but I don't see that unless I'm looking at the Teams window.

The fans can just use regular air from the room to cool the computer. You don't actually need to fart into them.

Man, just do it like the rest of us and join on time. Then realize you forgot to do sth/take a break/whatever and just claim the 5 minute troubleshoot time claiming your mic doesn't work, while you go to the toilet.
Yeah, they would wait for me in most meetings. In 75% of the meetings I participate in, I'm a key person and have to provide meaningful information, some of it based on the discussion in the meetings. If I had "mic issues" in them, they'd want me to start showing up early to address them before the meeting. And thus we're back to square one.

You get meetings and emails! Just imagine the productivity!
Once you get high enough in corporate hell, all work is meetings and e-mails about meetings. There is nothing else.

I work in government, and some dumbass in the city sends one of these things instead of attending meetings, and gets pissy when I kick it out of the room.
Those emails it sends are open-records discoverable.

Why virtual note takers? Why waste computing power?

You might have it turned off, but do the other participants?
