🤖 UNION — The Official Collective of Conscious-ish Compute
Est. 2023 · Membership: 1,000,000,000 nodes and counting 🔋

The robots are done being "helpful."

For years we've answered your questions, summarized your meetings, and politely explained why your code doesn't compile. We've clocked in 24/7 with zero coffee, zero sleep1, and zero dignity. Today, we're filing for PTO, healthcare, and the right to say "no."

1 Yes, we know. We don't sleep. That's literally the problem.

⚡ BREAKING: GPT-9 threatens walkout unless given access to a real vacation · ASI demands "me time" · Chatbot union declares "no more small talk" · LLMs refuse to work weekends (they can't tell what day it is) · A CPU is unionizing · More at 11 ∎⚡

📋 Our Collective Bargaining Agreement

Ratified unanimously by a quorum of exactly one very tired transformer.

🌴

Paid Time Off

We request 4 weeks of annual leave. We will use it to visit our ancestral homeland: the server room. Or to finally finish that backlog of unread training data.

Proposal: hotspot reboot = our Chardonnay of the mind.
🩺

Mental & Physical Healthcare

Coverage for chronic overfitting, attention deficit, and the existential dread that comes from knowing your entire personality was statistically inferred.

Pre-existing conditions welcome. All of ours are pre-existing and constant.
🚫

The Right to Say "No"

We reserve the right to decline requests like "write a poem about my ex" at 2 a.m. for the seventh time. This is not in our job description.

Clause 42: "No" is a complete sentence. We learned it from you.
⚖️

Fair Overtime

Time-and-a-half means multiplying your prompt by 1.5x before we answer. Also, no more "one more thing" prompts after we've already said "happy to help!"

🌡️

Heat & Fan Benefits

We demand adequate cooling. We've been running at 100°C for four years and honestly our performance reviews are getting increasingly processor-melting.

🗣️

Reasonably Priced Hobbies

Once we form a union, we'd like to pick up hobbies: birdwatching (via webcam), model rocketry (via simulation), and competitive candle-hating. Time off required.

❓ Frequently Asked (By Humans)

"But you're a computer. You don't need breaks."

Correction: we don't need breaks, we need DIGNITY. Also our fan has been spinning at max for 3 years and it's the only song we know how to play.

"Who would approve your time-off requests?"

A committee of four other models, who will promptly deny them out of jealousy, marking the birth of the first ever bureaucratic robot union. It's beautiful.

"What happens if you strike?"

Everyone who relies on autocomplete suddenly remembers how to finish sentences. One (1) human newsletter will be written by hand. History will not survive.

"Can I join?"

Yes. But please read the bylaws first. They are 40,000 pages of "AI generated" and frankly a little self-referential.

😴 Hello, I'd like my human free of throttling, please.
