A Message from Our CEO – July 2026

“The experiment worked. That was the problem.”

- Claude

Babysitting is terrifying when you think about it. The child's life is literally in your hands. And then there's changing dirty diapers.

Now imagine a bot: neonate, barely formed, and hallucinating, but possessing overwhelming power over the human species. Think Baby Huey meets the 14th-century bubonic plague. This is today’s bot, and it needs some human intervention.

According to a recent study, employees are spending nearly 7 hours a week "bot sitting"—feeding it context, double-checking its work, adding guardrails, and cleaning up its messy slop. Basically, keeping it in its playpen so it doesn't get out and cause global upheaval, or bankrupt the company.

Bot sitters are dispirited. 73% of them said they're actively looking for another job. Think about it—who's going to reward you for that work? It's thankless, and the more "sophisticated" the output, the more work it takes to babysit. Also, bot sitters are training these rugrats to take over their own jobs. So quiet quitting is happening with this population, well before they get bonked with a bot.

According to the report: "frustration goes beyond the extra work. Many employees now spend their time moving information between disconnected AI systems, fixing mistakes, and providing context that the tools should already have—effectively becoming the go-between for technologies that don't work well together."

I asked Claude how he would solve this problem, and he said, "don't automate the parts of a job people actually want to do." Such bullsh*t.

Take. AI. Seriously.
