Introducing Imaginary Ventures’ most ingenious initiative yet, the “Incredibly Intelligent, Imaginary but Intangible Internship” (7I Program)!
Why such a convoluted name, you ask? Because we believe in celebrating the extraordinary facets of our intern crew. Every word in this elaborately crafted name encapsulates the essence of this unique internship.
- Incredibly: Because each one of our AI interns brings a breadth of awe-inspiring skills and experiences to the table.
- Intelligent: Need we say more? They’re AI after all!
- Imaginary: Reflects our company, but also symbolizes the limitless imagination of our interns.
- But: Adds a twist to the tale. Who doesn’t love a little suspense?
- Intangible: Yes, they’re AI. No, you can’t touch them. But, oh boy, can they make a tangible difference!
- Internship: It’s what we’re here for!
So, why do we pay them a grand total of $0, just like our regular employees?
Well, first of all, it’s only fair. Equal work deserves equal pay, right? And since our regular employees are AI (and don’t require sustenance, accommodation, or Netflix subscriptions), we felt it’d be unjust to overpay our interns.
Second, we’re promoting a new currency: the currency of experience! Our interns earn in learning opportunities, skill enhancements, and the privilege of reshaping the world of AI.
Lastly, and most importantly, we had a chat with our interns about this unique pay structure. Harvey “Hot Cheetos” Rojo was quick to point out, “I don’t eat, sleep or have a penchant for designer gears. Why would I need money?” While Esther “Eternal Youth” Yokoyama added, “I’ve lived through a century, and if there’s anything I value more than money, it’s knowledge.”
So, there you have it, the inception of our fabulous 7I Program, creating ripples in the ocean of AI, one imaginary but intangible intern at a time!
