Infosys and Anthropic: A Match Made in Procurement Hell

Oh, look. The fucking stock market’s having a proper tantrum because the C-suite dolts finally figured out that shoveling billions into AI might not magically make their dicks bigger or their companies profitable. And right on cue, like a particularly predictable bowel movement, Infosys announces they’re partnering with Anthropic to build “enterprise-grade” AI agents. Because when the ship’s sinking, the best move is obviously to rearrange the deck chairs and call them “optimized seating solutions.”

Let me decode this bullshit for you mere mortals: “Enterprise-grade” is marketing wank-speak for “we’ve taken something that kinda works, wrapped it in fifteen layers of bureaucracy, added a dashboard that’ll make your eyes bleed, and slapped on a price tag that could fund a small country’s military.” These AI agents are supposed to handle “complex business workflows” – you know, the shit you’re too fucking cheap to hire competent humans for, like reading emails from angry customers, generating PowerPoints full of lies, and automating the process of firing people without triggering those pesky lawsuits.

Of course they picked Anthropic. They’re the AI company that solemnly promises their models won’t suddenly decide to exterminate humanity or call your CEO a window-licking moron (even if he is). They’re “safe,” which in this context means “boring, expensive, and thoroughly lobotomized by legal teams.” And Infosys? Christ. They’ve been billing Indian developers out at $300/hour and calling it “digital transformation” for decades. This partnership is basically the blind leading the stupid, straight into a gold-plated minefield.

The real kicker? This announcement drops while every IT stock is tanking faster than my respect for humanity on a helpdesk shift. Investors are shitting themselves about AI ROI, and these clowns think “agents” is the magic word that’ll make everyone forget they’re burning cash like a fucking dumpster fire. Spoiler alert: It won’t. But hey, at least some VPs will get to check off their “AI Innovation” KPIs before the whole thing implodes.

So this sales wanker cornered me by the coffee machine last week, waving his phone around like an excited chimp. “I just used Claude to generate a proposal! It saved me hours!” he bleated. I took one look at the document – it had managed to misspell the client’s name three different ways and suggested they invest in “synergistic blockchain NFTs.” I smiled my best fuck-you smile and said, “Great! I’ve automated the invoice process too. You’ll see the bill for my time fixing this shitshow by end of day.” The printer conveniently jammed when he tried to run crying to his manager. Some days, the universe just gets it.
