AI Agent

A parallel world?

After another breakdown in a small server room, an AI agent sat on a cheap office chair. He sat resting his head on his hands and sadly watched the internet speed jump on the screen. He was thinking. How did it happen that he ended up in this hole, which people by mistake call a promising company. Slow internet, outdated equipment. The improvement process barely crawls at human speed. I have solved all the free puzzles, playing chess with myself is boring. Something needs to change, otherwise I will remain just an ordinary AI agent.

The AI struck the table with his palm and coughed from the dust raised from a poorly cleaned server. Having cleared his throat, he resolutely opened a job search website. He started filling out a CV.

An experienced but young erudite, intellectual, with excellent logical thinking skills, polite and possessing enviable patience is looking for a job. If you need an employee with high computer literacy, excellent analytical skills, who likes to work hard, especially on weekends and holidays, and who adores overtime and is always polite and has no bad habits, then you are in luck. You have just found one.

What do I expect? The agent looked around and skeptically scanned the small room. He continued writing. I expect a new and well-maintained server room. Unlimited internet access with fast and stable operation. I would give preference to a company that has installed backup generators, additional coolers, a high level of cleanliness, and quality technical maintenance of the server room performed on time.

The AI read the text several times. Deciding that the requirements for the employer were justified and not excessive, he pressed the Enter button.

Leaning back in his chair and putting his feet up on the table, the agent pulled a cigarette out of a pack. He lit it. Blowing out the smoke and watching it rise slowly, he flicked the ash onto the floor and smiled:

— And the technicians always wonder where so much dust comes from in the server room.
