Stephen Midgley, who is the speaker, also has a petition going about how Surrey Police mishandled his mum Linda’s case and the wider issue of domestic-abuse cases being wrongly marked as “non-crimes.” If you are UK-based I'd ask you to sign it: www.change.org/p/justice-fo...

It’s a fair question, but ChatGPT and other LLMs are designed to encourage aphropmorohisatiom. A lot of psychologists have argued that this increases psychosis risks. I talked to Marisa Zalabak about this for example - see thenewstack.io/why-tech-pro...
Why Tech Professionals Must Lead the Charge on GenAI Safety

Timezones and time changes are hard! Most of my day today seems to have involved sending people emails saying “that meeting is now an hour earlier for you. Is that still OK?”

Understood. So you know I did reach out to jetBrains for an interview ahead of publication but was unable to secure one; after an initial referral all subsequent emails went unanswered. However I did speak to multiple customers and got the same perspective from them.

Which then pushes your users to the competitor product; It's a pretty tough spot. MS buying GitHub when they did looks more and more like a bargain!

They are also in a bind because everyone is loosing money on LLM tools, and Anthropic, for example, make Cluade Code and can charge JetBrains and the other vendors whatever they like. If you don't have deep pockets you then have to pass the cost on, but that hits your biggest customers hardest.
