Know Your Work Rules: LLM Scaling Criticism Reception Depends on Who Says It

Description

A two-panel comic titled 'KNOW WORK RULES'. Top panel labeled 'APPROPRIATE': An attractive, well-dressed man says 'Scaling is over and LLMs are a dead end' to a woman at her desk who responds 'AWWW, YOU'RE SWEET.' with a heart emoji, finding it charming. Bottom panel labeled 'INAPPROPRIATE': A less attractive, pudgy man in glasses and a purple vest says the exact same thing -- 'Scaling is over and LLMs are a dead end' -- and the same woman picks up the phone saying 'HELLO, HUMAN RESOURCES?!' The comic uses the classic 'attractive person vs unattractive person saying the same thing' template to satirize how the reception of AI skepticism in the workplace depends entirely on who's delivering the message, not the content itself
