HR has secured the past against unauthorised improvement.

Poteto HR operated version one of the 2023 OpenAI Playground in a browser tab labelled DO NOT REFRESH. This was for security reasons, a phrase which at Poteto meant that the person explaining it had stopped taking questions. The model had recently promoted the kettle, declined to recognise Thursdays, and supplied a convincing reference for an employee who had never existed. The reference was excellent. Tim requested an upgrade. HR explained that newer software might contain errors they had not yet incorporated into company policy.

“Our existing mistakes have completed their probation.” — Poetato
