🎤 Have you ever attended one of those conferences where a so-called “leadership expert” explains life to you… without ever having managed anything beyond a Canva account?

Welcome to Professional Absurdistan: a world where resilience is sold in PDFs, management is taught through inspirational GIFs, and success comes wrapped in empty buzzwords.

HUMOR

Stop being polite to AIs, they don’t need a hug

Stop being polite to AIs, they don’t need a hug

What if your politeness came with a million-dollar price tag!

Saying “thank you” to an AI? It’s cute. Endearing, even. But mostly… pointless. And expensive. Very expensive.

Every “hello”, every “please” means more servers running hot, more kilowatts burned, and billions vanishing into the cloud. Not to improve the service—just to soothe our well-mannered human conscience.

So maybe it’s time to drop the digital niceties. In 2025, let’s save our “thank yous” for those who actually need them: REAL PEOPLE.

You can’t stop progress (but maybe we should, sometimes…)

You can’t stop progress (but maybe we should, sometimes…)

Welcome to the era of progress, **where even tenderness has become an automated service.**

After all, why waste time calling your aging parents when a chatbot can do it for you — using _your_ voice, no less.
No more enduring tales from 1954 or that slightly shaky tone. For just **€29.90 a month**, an AI simulates affection while you pretend to care.

And Grandma?

No worries, she doesn’t suspect a thing. She hangs up all warm and fuzzy, convinced it was really you.

📞 _“Hi Grandma, it’s me… well, me in beta version: part code, mostly indifference. Go ahead, you’ve got 3 minutes and 47 seconds to tell me about your week at the nursing home.”_

And if you think I’m exaggerating, read to the end. Spoiler: even Cupid’s been replaced by a voice assistant.

Creepy? A bit.
Pathetic? Absolutely.

## 📌 Friday Mood Post 📌

🧘‍♂️ What if silence became our last space of freedom?

At a time when everyone is “speaking out” at all costs, when even the faintest opinion turns into an “engaged” post (for lack of real action in real life), saying nothing is almost… an act of resistance.

And maybe, just maybe, staying silent is one of the last true forms of intelligence.
