Pros

English and lunch are good.

Good for average workers, not for engineers. But be careful about power harassment.

Cons

Ok, so everyone has lost their minds after the new LLM and ChatGPTs.

All managers and executives have no idea about A.I. and now suddenly want to fix poor business processes magically just using A.I.

To coders, managers just say, "Why don't you reduce your man-hours by using A.I. to completely handle this problem?" This is not just at this stage; the people in charge aren't pretending to be low IQ, but they really are.

They completely copied the Mistral model and published it on Hugging Face as their own just to show that Rakuten is leading in AI?

About Rakuten Mobile, so much power harassment is going on in the office to get Rakuten Mobile contracts in a shady manner.

Advice to Management

You should all be ashamed of doing power harassment.
