So Charlie Kirk, J. D. Vance, and Donald Trump walk into a gas champer and get raped…

Well this is absolutely surprising and completely unexpected. I am shocked. Shocked!

Change “anti-christianity” to anti-religion and I’d have a perfect sweep.

I agree that that is an experience I have frustratingly had as well. I disagree that it won’t change. Agentic Ai allows for specialized services to be integrated. All it would take is an agent to be created that specializes in creating pptx documents and the integrated into the primary service. The capability already exists it just need to be implemented correctly.

Document summary, quick email replies that sound coherent and professional when you have one foot out the door on a Friday, if the Org has fabric then the PowerPoint copilot can be a real time save of given me a presentation based off this outline and use some data as the source.

I find that those who are office professionals that don’t like AI most often either have expectations of perfection or don’t know how to prompt properly.

Ai excels at get you 60-70% of the way there the first time. Then you can either refine it with additional prompts or manually. Either way if it saves me time and effort on something I care nothing about then it is worth it to me.

Trump is correcting a mistake he made the first term. In order to have a successful coup, you require military support. This term the Trump team started immediately filling the DoD with yesmen. I have zero doubt that by the time this term ends, if Trump wants to stay in office, the military will not intervene.

WHY?!?

(yes, I know it is data mining, but still)

The 120M aside, which is almost certainly pulled out of someone’s ass, $120k/yr isn’t that much. I’m sure that almost ever engineer at Apple makes more than that.

One might describe that as a concentration camp.

Sooo… Dressing like a street gang member?

Maybe we will get lucky and some/all will fall into the canals and drown.

In order to be most effective it would need to be dynamic rather than a fixed on/off like rear brake lights. Stopping doesn’t mean stopped. So perhaps a progressive light bar that starts lighting up at 20mph and adds a light for each 5mph drop until the whole bar is lit indicating a full stop. That would give pedestrians a sense of rate of deceleration.

How do I set my car’s status to “It’s complicated”?

I sure hope they had multiple cloud backups.

Well, I was in a debate club so I suppose that is where it comes from.

Also, saying I have an opposing opinion is fine, if that is my actual stance. I this case it’s more of an I can see both sides of the argument and would like to have a rounded discussion rather than a reddit echo chamber.

+1 for a woodworking analogy. :)

Fully agree. Honestly, it’s why I like the Copilot branding Microsoft used. It is a Copilot, not the Captain. You still need to be in control and verify and scrutinize.

If memory serves me correctly, nobody concented to the search indexes originally either, it took time for those guard rails to be put in place and respected. I would imagine that this new tech will undergo the same growing pains as guard rails get implemented.

I don’t know about all AI products, but I know that I use the Copilot sidebar built into edge for work and school questions and it always provides citations to the source information. In fact if I ask a question for school and add in the prompt to cite all sources with a reference in APA format, it gives me everything I need in proper format.

I’d like to play devil’s advocate for a sec and ask this question, how is a company scraping information from publicly available sources to train AI models any different than companies scraping that same publicly available data and indexing it for search?

While the search model is helpful to is all, Google isn’t doing it out of the kindness of their hearts, they have a whole business model based on selling advertising utilizing the information they have freely indexed. Yet very few complain about search indexers crawling their data like they do AI bots.

Again, just playing devil’s advocate for the sake of curiosity.
