Following the viral post about Clod, a rock 'hired' by Claude, the owner ran a performance review: 100% attendance, zero complaints, zero mistakes, zero actual work — yet Claude rated it excellent and promoted it to management, deciding no raise was needed since it has no living expenses. The rock now wears a tiny paper tie; the original post topped 1M views.
