“REPLACE YOURSELF!” Boomed the CEO while enjoying the fruits of this year’s 3rd 7 figure bonus.

In my current experience (part of a worldwide, billion dollar corp) email is pretty much just bulletin board. Teams or Slack or whatever inter-office text platform is the bulk of communication.

The good ole boy system happened.

To an unprecedented degree, on a National scale. 🤮

There’s a large portion of that 1st category that DOESNT fit the bill of course, but I think what you’re seeing is common cultural distribution in those industry categories.

3 largest categories of small businesses:

- Professional, Scientific & Technical Services
- Construction
- Transport & Warehousing

People involved in those industries tend to fit the culture demographic (1st cat contains construction adjacent stuff like drafting & landscaping).

I would say in some cases it’s at LEAST marginally better than rubber duck debugging. For those situations where externalizing the issue still leaves you staring at a wall, and any suggestions would be welcome no matter how stupid 😂

That’s far too logical for the US.

It’s gd CINEMA when you’re on point though.

Best hard difficulty in gaming when I’m not replacing my controller.

Lethal mode eh?

Boy there have been an ABUNDANCE of people getting blasted on LinkedIn for using it in legal contexts too 😂 glad to hear there’s people in the legal system not drinking the koolaid.

Absolutely, I write technical articles and make technical education content. It’s patently worthless for those purposes because of that trust problem. TBH that makes it patently useless for MOST serious tasks, but you can’t underestimate the human desire to not do work 😂

Absolutely, there ARE ways it could be cool and useful, but in its current state it just can’t adequately justify its own cost. Energetically, societally, or culturally.

Yeah if it were significantly less resource intensive, and properly marked when it was flatly making shit up (which it’s not really capable of doing, because conceptually it’s ALWAYS making shit up even when it’s right) it’d make a great learning tool.

There are use cases where accuracy isn’t necessary, for instance when you’ve reached a wall on a problem and are trying to spitball unexplored perspectives.

Verifying its answers would aid in problem solving.

That being said, not worth the cost, and humans are infinitely better in this use case. 😂

This isn’t just in the history sphere unfortunately.

I made a video not long ago talking about the likely reality that Google themselves are behind many of the AI channels in an effort to pay fewer creators (own the content and the platform).

They won’t change it until their viewership crashes. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Bold of the hackers to assume their victims art hasn’t ALREADY been hoovered by an AI model 😂
