not the glasses per se, the company behind them, their design and their goals for the glasses are evil

Really? I thought we were to either suck it up or move on… I moved on
- Comment on Microsoft ends OpenAI exclusivity in Office, adds rival Anthropic 1 week ago:
LOL… if AI were a tenth as effective as they claim, this would be like adding a second steering wheel to your car, you know? just in case the first one doesn’t cut it?

- Comment on UK government trial of Microsoft's M365 Copilot finds no clear productivity boost 2 weeks ago:
not sure there is any research done by people using office suite…
it sounds like you are conflating LLM in general with the crappy copilot that MS offers with the office suite
an LLM could be useful for research of large (large) datasets… Copilot would not be
- Comment on UK government trial of Microsoft's M365 Copilot finds no clear productivity boost 2 weeks ago:
Then maybe it’s not useful for you. That doesn’t mean AI isn’t useful for a number of other roles.
Case in point, as per the article, AI is pretty useless for regular office work
- Comment on UK government trial of Microsoft's M365 Copilot finds no clear productivity boost 2 weeks ago:
The devil is in the details… what you describe screams to me what I call the “new boss syndrome”. New boss comes in and they feel the need to pee on everyone to mark their territory so they MUST bring in some genius change.
99% of the time, they are bringing in some forced change for the sake of change or something that worked on their previous place without taking into consideration the context.
I do not know almost anyone who prefers to work harder… either the changes proposed make no sense (or it’s too complex for people to understand the benefit) or the change is superfluous. That is usually where resistance to change comes from.
- Comment on UK government trial of Microsoft's M365 Copilot finds no clear productivity boost 2 weeks ago:
.this basically just shows that AI assistants provide no benefit when they’re not used and nothing else.
so you think they may be useful but people just like to work harder? or perhps, they tried and saw no benefit at all and moved on?

Do something about it then…
PS: maybe you are, if so, Kudos to you… but the majority seem to only rue it
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
While I understand your point, I think it’s unwise to read too much into the language very close people may use. I have forever called my wife “Gorda” which is “Chubby” in English even thought she is not and has never been chubby, it’s a nickname she loves.
Same with my son and daughter, we have all sorts of pet names and inside joke language which won’t be understood by anyone outside of our circle without explanation.
Ultimately, language is no different from physical contact… I rough house my grown kid to show him love (and probably to see if I still have it hahahaha) but I’d never dare do that at work (very on the nose example, but you get my point I hope)

They didn’t think of that when designing this?

- Comment on Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point 1 month ago:
Yes, hand in hand…
Anecdotal of course, but every person I know who claims AI is a huge productivity booster simply trust it blindly.
I can’t even get “Copilot” to return a proper answer from its own meeting transcript… just yesterday there was some confusion about an IP address we exchanged in a past meeting… I asked Copilot to check the transcript and give me the IP of the vendor’s server (which I pointed by name of system and who spoke it in the meeting) and it gave me the IP of MY server, functionally the complete opposite of what I was asking but with full confidence in its answer
- Comment on Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point 1 month ago:
also because it’s shit, if my memory serves me, I have successfully used AI for a productive task 1 time out of 7 attempts so far… it saved me 5 minutes
- Comment on GitHub CEO delivers stark message to developers: Embrace AI or get out. 1 month ago:
Why do they suddenly think they have to force us to use a certain tool to get the job done?
Not just that… why do they have to threat and push for people to use a tool that allegedly is fantastic and makes everything better and faster?.. the answer is that it does not work but they need to pump the numbers to keep the bubble going

- Comment on Google Assistant Is Basically on Life Support and Things Just Got Worse 1 month ago:
So Google half baked a product, pushed it to the public whether they wanted it or not, and now it’s giving up on it replacing it with another half baked product nobody asked for…
Seems par for the course for Google
