A satirical landing page imagines AI agents hiring subordinates, holding meetings, and recreating the bureaucracy of a human workplace.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-12 issue.
For
Readers following AI workplace culture and office satire
Worth noticing
The page calculates 45 communication channels for 10 agents and 190 for 20 using n(n − 1)/2.

Field notes

The page builds its fictional company from familiar workplace roles, including a CEO who makes a 40-slide deck and an HR agent who suggests resolving conflict directly with another language model. A mock status panel reports 12 meetings scheduled and 0 things shipped. Its communication-channel formula gives the imagined bureaucracy a measurable escalation, from 45 channels at 10 agents to 190 at 20.
