Shopify's CEO, Tobi Lutke, is shaking things up, demanding employees prove they can't use AI before asking for more help. Sounds like a cartoon to me!

Of Course It's An AI Takeover Doc!

Eh what's up doc? Seems like this Shopify fella Tobi Lutke is fixin' to turn his whole company into one big AI experiment. He's tellin' his employees they gotta prove they can't use these fancy new AI gadgets before askin' for more help. I always say "You only go around once in life so you gotta grab for all the gusto you can get!" But this AI business? Seems a little loony to me. Maybe it's Elmer Fudd in disguise tryin' to trick us all!

Autonomous AI Agents Runnin' the Show?

Now this Lutke character is asking "What would this area look like if autonomous AI agents were already part of the team?" Sounds like a Saturday morning cartoon plot! Imagine a world run by robots makin' all the decisions. I'd rather be divin' into a rabbit hole that's for sure! You know what I always say: "This looks like a job for a SUPER rabbit!" But even I gotta admit sometimes these newfangled gadgets can be kinda... interesting.

100X the Work? Sounds Like Cartoon Physics!

He claims some folks are gettin' 100X the work done with AI! Now that's some serious cartoon physics! I've seen some crazy stuff in my day – piano crashin' on my head dynamite exploding you name it! – but this AI business? It's a whole new level of ridiculous. But hey if it works it works right? "Of course you realize this means war!"... against inefficiency I guess.

AI in Performance Reviews? That's Despicable!

And get this – they're gonna start factorin' AI usage into performance reviews! Next thing you know they'll be givin' out carrots based on how well you can chat with a robot. I prefer my carrots the old fashioned way: stolen from Elmer Fudd's garden. As Yosemite Sam would say "I'm the rootinest tootinest shootinest hombre this side of the Pecos!"... but even he'd scratch his head at this AI nonsense.

Streamlining Costs? More Like Shrinking Staff!

Of course all this AI talk is usually followed by some mumbo jumbo about "streamlining costs." That's just a fancy way of sayin' folks are gettin' the boot. Seems like Shopify's headcount went down a bit already. Just like the saying goes "Sufferin' succotash!". Maybe they should try usin' AI to find more creative ways to avoid lay offs eh?

High End AI Engineers Oh My!

And the CFO's sayin' they might hire more high end AI engineers even if it means payin' 'em a pretty penny. Sounds like a good old fashioned talent scramble! Me? I'm happy just bein' a simple rabbit with a knack for outsmartin' Elmer. Remember "Ain't I a stinker?!" So keep yer eyes peeled folks 'cause this AI business is just gettin' started!
