I am responsible for gathering information on AI to determine whether we should use it for our next project. The ask was to use it for a critical process task. Immediately in my head I was like "no, we are not using AI at all", but I obviously need quantifiable data. This is just another thing to add to my list of why using AI for core processes is one of the stupidest things you could ever do.

Not the worst idea I've seen. I imagine the increased air circulation would help prevent some cheese. Obviously this would not be for the people who like high dpi + high weight mice.

3. Because the company gets some tax breaks from the county by having asses in seats.
4. Related to 1, your boss made poor real estate decisions pre-covid and wants to recoup that loss.
5. Most CEOs are older and don't want to understand the newer WFH dynamic.
6. Management does not trust the employees they hired.

HR has always been the laziest bunch of fuckers in a company, so it is not surprising they want to use AI.

I live in the US and I dont trust US companies with my data either. They either sell it or are handled by easily exploitable systems developed offshore in India.

So, in that sense I do not trust the US, China, India, or Russia with my data and avoid software developed in any of these places when feasibly possible.

He also looks strangely Russian...

A friendly reminder that generating electricity is the cheapest it has ever been.

Another reminder that power companies are being incentivized by the current administration to NOT to make their energy grids better.

This is what the Republicans voted for and what the Democratic party allowed to happen by putting forth their worst candidates.

AI is actually SUPER good at this and is one of the few places I think AI should be used (as one of many tools, ignoring the awful environmental impacts of AI and assuming an on-prem model). AI is also good at detecting code performance issues.

With that said, all of the fix recommendations should be fixed by hand.

This is what a CEO is supposed to do. They are the glue between every department and are supposed to make sure that everyone is on the same page. They ask "what is needed for us to get to this point and how can I help". They leave all functional details to the subject matter experts. They act as guide rails and do not derail the train.

Good CEOs understand that they are worth less than their employees because without their expertise and domain knowledge the CEO has no product to sell.

Fox claims they arent news, but entertainment. It is how they have avoided lawsuits for decades.

Thanks for reminding me i have a craptop in storage thst i can use for a server.

Most employees do not trust leadership that markets and sells a product that does not exist yet.
