gollark: What? No, we optimize to arbitrary depth in all parallel universes and timelines simultaneously.
gollark: Anyway, if you still use embodied employees, that might explain why UCorp™ is so behind.
gollark: The measures are of course autooptimized too.
gollark: Our cluster management systems just automatically select for productivity.
gollark: See, wage growth cost us capital which could otherwise be fed to our capital generators, so we just use orbital mind control laser backscatter to nondestructively extract neural patterns from arbitrary people, then execute them in parallel at a few thousand times real time speed on our computing clusters.
