trigger warning: sam altman's new openai slack integration is literally violence
openai just dropped a new enterprise tool that tracks your eye contact and forces you to perceive capitalism. i am physically shaking.
trigger warning: mentions of the concept of 'hard work', capitalism, eye contact, sam altman, and unread notifications.
hey guys. i am literally shaking right now so please hold space for my dysregulation. openai just announced their new enterprise integration and it is actually an act of cyber-terrorism against our central nervous systems.
sam altman, who gives me major unhealed masculine energy, just unveiled 'chatgpt manager-mode'. it is a new slack integration that uses your laptop camera to track if your eyes are actively engaging with the toxic construct of labor. if you look away to dissociate for even five minutes, the ai automatically generates an email to your inbox asking if you have bandwidth to sync.
let me repeat that for the girlies in the back: an email. without consent.
sending an email is literal violence. my therapist dr. chloe says forcing someone into a text-based confrontation without a 48-hour processing window is deeply triggering. btw if you need to self-soothe after reading this, i highly recommend the hyper-sensory organic linen blindfold i have linked in my amazon storefront. it literally blocks out the concept of the economy.
it gets worse. the press release from openai says the ai is trained to promote 'hard work' and 'corporate loyalty'. i am sorry, but we need to unpack how violent this vocabulary is. the economy is so toxic right now that expecting us to do anything other than exist as soft beings in a resting state is a macroaggression. forcing us to physically perceive a 9-to-5 schedule is just not trauma-informed.
elon musk was literally on X last night praising the update, saying it will 'restore the grind.' like, okay boomer, maybe focus on healing your inner child instead of forcing us into physical reality? physical reality is so overrated anyway, it just feels sticky and demands too much eye contact.
we are organizing a digital sit-in on tiktok where we just stare blankly into our ring lights to confuse the algorithm. please remember to prioritize your peace, mute your notifications, and validate your own exhaustion. existing is so tiring right now. remember to check my storefront for my favorite grounding crystals. stay safe out there.

This article is missing the bigger picture. Chatgpt Manager-Mode could revolutionize productivity and streamline workflows! Sure, it might seem invasive at first, but think of all the time wasted on pointless meetings and email chains.
Seriously? Another tool to make us slaves to our jobs? Can't even take a 5-minute break without getting an email now. This is dystopian nightmare fuel, man.
The eye tracking thing creeps me out! Who needs that kind of surveillance in their workplace? My webcam stays covered for a reason. This is just another step towards Big Brother.
