It’s pretty easy to set up a cron job to fire off some sort of bullshit LLM request a handful of times a day during working hours. Just set it and forget it.
you could probably even get copilot to write it!
"Prompt yourself with some bullshit so that it looks like you're doing something productive."
Who knows, maybe that's how you attain AGI? What is a more human kind of intelligence than looking for ways to be a lazy fuck?
Prompt an LLM to contemplate its own existence every 30 minutes, give it access to a database of its previous outputs on the topic, boom you've got a strange loop. IDK why everyone thinks AGI is so hard.
Not when you have to do SAML authentication to get a token for your AD account first.
Unless you know that guy working on both API management and the identity provider.
If, hypothetically, someone came to that person with a problem like that, they might do it just for fun. Allegedly.
That person and I seem to be doing similar jobs because I certainly would take on that challenge (SAML is such a fucking nightmare...)
You can even schedule it within copilot
