It tends to break chat bots because those are mostly pre-written prompts sent to ChatGPT along with the query, so this wipes out the pre-written prompt. It’s anarchic because this prompt can get the chat bot to do things contrary to the goals of whoever set it up.

That might be the same story? I don’t remember well enough; I should hunt it down and reread it :D

This was years ago. And I did try a note! It didn’t work.

I switched to standing-only at work about 10 years ago and it’s been great, except for a 2-year stretch where the cleaners in the building I worked in would somehow find a free desk chair and push it under my desk every. single. night. So every morning when I got to work there’d be an office chair sitting on my standing mat and I’d have to find somewhere to put it. I tried moving it far away, finding a chairless desk on the other side of the building, but somehow they kept finding me a chair I didn’t want and rolling it onto my mat. Eventually I got a little guest stool and would pull that over onto my mat when I left, and that worked as a decoy chair and kept them from adding a chair. Maybe this comic was about them.
