Because as soon as the […] …

My workplace doesn't use LLMs.
It does have a (mostly for marketing) blog, ostensibly written by the president of the company. And on April 1, the tradition is that the blog entry announces some new product or service or technique which is completely ridiculous. About a third of them are my idea.
And for the last five years, the most ridiculous things I could think of were cryptocurrency and "AI" systems, so that's what got promised.
Several of them had journalistic attention ("Can we talk to you about your new product?") and one got the compliance people at a client very excited and irritable.
It keeps getting harder to mock these people, because so many of them have already done it and are facing charges for having done it...

@LoganFive OK What was your #aprilfool joke

I liked https://lists.sr.ht/~rjarry/aerc-devel/%3CD089UJOWWNL4.1US1ODQMA90VR@ringo%3E ... yes, it is probably so geeky that nobody outside of the readers of the list understands. #Aerc #AprilFool
I prided myself for decades for being “open-minded” but have decided it’s actually quite dangerous.. in many circumstances
Prob decades ahead of my time to be in my “judge-y bitch era” but no time like the present
If you’re not wearing a damn mask, my judgement is two-fold; not smart & devoid of empathy
Certain things do not require compromise #wearADamnRespirator #aprilFool

A better way to celebrate April Fools than the usual skullduggery... this one has the practical joke built in!

Today I salute the contributions of Jeff Wysaski, sign creator

Museum of HoaxesPark Rules (and other fake signs)Jeff Wysaski's hobby is putting up fake signs at various locations such as stores, museums, or in the street. He posts examples of his creations on his blog <a href=http://obviousplant.tumblr.com>Obvious Plant</a>. The very first fake sign he put up was in a park, listing the Park Rules, which included that Dogs must be clothed. Perhaps an allusion to Alan Abel's <a href=http://hoaxes.org/archive/permalink/the_society_for_indecency_to_naked_animals>Society for the Indecency to Naked Animals</a>?
Anyone ever played some funny April Fool's jokes?
I wrote a fake student email newsletter once in 1996 when I was a college student. It was plausible because I wrote a real newsletter most of the time, but I made every article as ridiculous as possible so you couldn't miss the joke. I even called out attention to that it was a special edition of my newsletter.
At the very end of the short newsletter, I announced I would give away a free Windows PC computer for the first person to arrive at the student council office at the end of the month on 6am, April 31st.
I sent it out around 1am on April 1st and went to bed. By the time I check my email later in the day, there's a couple dozen replies in my inbox.
Everyone got the joke, but some people still thought the PC giveaway part was serious. They were writing in to ask if I meant April 30th because there was no April 31st. A few people even thanked me for a good laugh and then asked about the giveaway.
My favorite #AprilFool story ever:
It was 1979, and Pope John Paul II was planning to visit Des Moines, Iowa. Catholic Iowans were understandably excited, months in advance.
The student newspaper at the University of Iowa is the Daily Iowan. They would do an annual April Fools Day prank story, in which they would make page 3 of the Daily Iowan into a replica of the front page some other prominent newspaper, but with joke stories. That year it was the Des Moines Register.
Most of this year's April Fool pranks seem to centre on making people feel awful #meh #aprilfool God be with the days when there were spaghetti harvests and holiday islands with font names
Happy #AprilFool day #youngpups and #oldgal … I decided to build some skyscrapers

Good morning Mastodonians! I'm awake and eager to face this beautiful day!
APRIL FOOL!
It's raining and dark, I'm still half-asleep, had a crazy busy weekend, and could use a few days off just to sleep. But, instead, I'm here at work. I'll make the best of it.
How're all my friends & followers today?
Buried deep in an old repo I discovered a CP/M subsystem of Medley Interlisp which even runs WordStar and Turbo Pascal.
Today got me thinking, just how tired and obvious so called april fools tend to be these days. I haven't seen a fun and clever one for quite a while.
Now it just feels like a race between social media teams on creating something that's obvious enough that it doesn't cause anyone to actually fall for it for even a second, but 'quirky' enough so it can be still seen as an attempt at april fools gag.
Meanwhile I just browse away my usual stuff an just be like 'meh'.
