   The obvious clincher at the end for your coworker to give is, “but if you were really committed to 5x-ing our capacity, you should have asked an LLM to do this instead of wasting our valuable time, which obviously is now worth 5x as much”

     Followup:

     hero co-worker has used an internal LLM to generate 10 examples of how we might do this

     [the examples are so vapid y'all, I am laughing so hard i'm almost crying]

     coworker: "i'm hoping he notices so i can use it to make a point"

     me, in response:
     "But what if he doesn't notice?"

     VP wants examples of how we are "5x-ing our capacity" with AI, in a remarkable display of top-down wishful thinking

     even supposing this were possible

     any projects that are currently 5x beyond our capacity are _not being done_
