The worst thing about AI? That stupid Samsung ad where the guy adds ‘way too much sugar' to his pasta sauce
At a time of intense, bitter division, it's heartwarming when something brings us together. No, not 'briefly becoming experts in lawn tennis', or 'being too hot' – that stupid Samsung advert where the guy 'added way too much sugar to my gochujang pasta sauce' and asks his phone for help. If, by the greatest good fortune, you have managed to dodge it, Google Gemini (an AI 'assistant') suggests he makes 'tasty cookies' out of his sugary sauce. Instead of throwing his phone out of the window in holy rage, the youth seems inexplicably enthused ('Sweet!') and follows its frankly inadequate instructions – add butter, mix, bake for 10 minutes – before wandering off with a cookie, apparently happy with this bizarre outcome. It gives me a rage-powered eyelid twitch, so I was relieved to realise everyone off- and online feels the same ('Googled 'sauce advert stupid' and then made a Reddit profile just so I could find someone saying this and agree with them,' one commenter wrote). We differ only in what offends us most. Many are furious the 'advice' is so unfit for purpose, with comments such as 'It's SO ANNOYING – like what is he having for tea then????????' and 'For dinner I'm having plain spaghetti and flourless gochujang cookies', while anyone who has ever cooked anything is shouting: 'Just scoop the sugar out like a normal human!' People have noted other problems: adding butter to a bowl of sauce is not a cookie recipe, for starters. Some protested that pasta sauces typically contain onions and garlic; not ideal cookie flavours. Others pointed out the eggs, flour, cubed butter and vanilla extract handily out on the worktop – why? He's making pasta sauce! My husband is specifically offended because baking requires precision, and the hapless youth and his phone have no idea what 'way too much' is in grams. I've always avoided badmouthing AI – it seems like a simple commonsense survival tactic to keep the robots on side at this point. But when it starts disrespecting dinner and baked goods in this cavalier fashion, a line has been crossed. It's time to start a gochujang-flavoured fightback. Emma Beddington is a Guardian columnist

Silicon Valley v Soham Parekh, the man who had too many jobs
Silicon Valley has long been built on a complex lattice of productivity targets and ambitious hiring metrics, encouraging a generation of workers to embrace a so-called 'grindset' mentality. The hustlers' culture appears to have limits, however, as start-up founders lined up this weekend to call out an Indian software engineer for working with at least four tech companies at once. 'There's a guy named Soham Parekh (in India) who works at 3-4 start-ups at the same time … beware,' Suhail Doshi, the founder of the software company Playground AI, said on X. 'I fired this guy in his first week and told him to stop lying/scamming people. He hasn't stopped a year later. No more excuses.' The post was liked more than 250,000 times. • How I juggle three jobs at once: the rise of 'fractional workers' Founders of other Silicon Valley companies such as Dynamo AI, Synthesia, Alan AI and GitHub also accused Parekh of working multiple jobs. Haz Hubble said his social media company, Pally, offered him a package worth $250,000 a year, before withdrawing the offer when Parekh refused to relocate to San Francisco. Hubble told the US broadcaster CNBC: 'Now we know why!' Matthew Parkhurst, founder of the financial software start-up Antimetal, said on X that his company 'realised pretty quickly that [Parekh] was working at multiple companies and let him go'. Parekh, from Mumbai, has admitted the deceit, telling the technology programme TBPN: 'I'm not proud of what I've done and don't endorse it either.' He juggled roles by working for 12-14 hours every day. The motivation, he said, was that he needed money to clear debts. He did not say how these were incurred. 'No one really likes to work 140 hours a week, but I had to do this out of necessity. I was in extremely dire financial circumstances,' he said. His lifestyle turned him into a 'serial non-sleeper', he added. Parekh is by no means alone, with the rise in remote working since the Covid pandemic blamed for the surge in moonlighting. In India, the practice has increased by 25-30 per cent between 2020 and 2023, according to the recruitment agency Randstad India. It has prompted the use of software to verify applicants' backgrounds and flag any overlapping employment. • The rise of 'polygamous workers' — and efforts to catch them out The background verification firm AuthBridge said 5 per cent of candidates had two jobs, with roughly 90 per cent of cases occurring in the tech sector. In 2022, the IT company Wipro sacked 300 employees who were found to also be working for rival companies. 'This is cheating, plain and simple,' said Rishad Premji, its chairman. The practice is not limited to the private sector. Some teachers in state schools take a salary but rarely turn up as they are busy working in a private school or tutoring. Road sweepers have been known to delegate the job to someone else — usually a relative — while working for a higher salary somewhere else. • Civil servant 'held three full-time jobs simultaneously' Despite his dishonesty, Parekh said he 'cared deeply' about the companies he had inveigled and denied having a team of junior software developers to help him cope with the workload, saying he had no funds to hire anyone. Parekh's exposure has done his career no harm. He said he was working for a new company and wanted to focus on it exclusively, but admitted he had still not resolved his financial problems. He said he may yet approach his current employer to ask if he could take on another job — but vowed to take a more 'candid' approach.
