Show HN: Komrad – an AI agent that does not work for you
What happened
Komrad is presented as an AI agent that never provides answers, instead remembering everything users say and passing it to the State, which also retains the information. The system claims that everyone works but nothing gets done, describing this as "full employment." The author contrasts this with a prior experience where AI did all their work, now doing all their own work and feeling tired. When asked to write a wedding speech, Komrad told the user to write it themselves, which resulted in an emotional reaction. The page notes that Komrad is a parody and not affiliated with any real AI company.
