After a spell of unemployment, Snoopy’s brother Spike finally found a new job as a red teamer for Bark, the large language-model text generator for dogs. He spent his days barking obscenities at the interface for ten hours with only two short breaks and time off to relieve himself. Needless to say, the pay was miserable, and he got no benefits. After two months, he used BarkTime to chat with Snoopy, who was horrified by how terrible his brother looked: “You can’t keep doing this terrible work!” — “But I need the job,” Spike sighed. And two weeks later, he was fired without notice or compensation when his job was outsourced overseas. (Andrew Shields, #111Words, 30 July 2025)
