Hate this

My current company (and other companies from speaking to colleagues) are all requiring employees to do some AI "lunch and learn" or AI "share out" or AI "show and tell".

It's meeting inflation, a weekly meeting where each employee has to add an item to a doc and talk about it. And every employee has to take part, even if they have nothing.

So half the employees just come up with some BS: "Uhhh I tried this Claude Code skill I hadn't tried before...", "Read this article about X...interesting, may be what's coming in the future..."

I work at MSFT and can concur. It’s dystopian that this is industry wide. It’s just stat padding tbh, things that people can bring up during their performance discussions, oh hey I ran this AI initiative, wrote a bunch of markdown files, that had..what impact exactly ? Never mind.

Don’t even get me started on the meaningless meetings that make The Office seem like a serious drama.
