Using UNICODE to hack my Manager

[Casual Observer]

Something Da King said during the initial AI dustup bullshit has stuck with me: "if he wants simple give him simple"

Come to realize that when the guy said "explain that spreadsheet like I'm five", he wasn't fucking with me — he doesn't know how to use a spreadsheet. You wouldn't believe what our vendor TitanX said about him to his face and to me and his boss. So yeah, I get it I need to dumb everything down for our VP of Sales Strategy and Development, fine.

Jonsey's in the other thread made me think of mentioning this here.

I've started pasting unicode characters into some of my communications and studies show he reads my stuff better if it looks like it came out of ChatGPT. It occurred to me that if every single communication I get from him — even single sentences — is obviously GPT then maybe I should speak his language.

I also add UNICODE characters other times just to fuck with people, it gives me the absolute smallest possible dopamine shot thinking about someone trying to figure out how my overly verbose odd writing style came out of a calculator.

Bottom line is it's true — you can use Unicode to prompt inject both LLM's and Stupid Language Models.

Anyone wanna guess whether he gets the "Catch up" pulp fiction reference.

Icons as part of the headings? Total win.

Icons in the middle of your text? Total fail. I stop reading when I hit those.

Check, preference noted.

I hope we did not lose you forever with the CloudFlare atuff.

Casual Observer was ahead of the game with his use of AI. I'd love to talk to him about how he is using it a year later.

probably using more stupid unicode characters. god I hate them.

(this is not at shot at CO. we have our "enterprise architects" at work filling their communications with these things. and Copilot uses them like mad in documentation. AND I HATE IT.)
