We have all these new video conferencing systems and not a single one that can finish a call and then put a big “END TRANSMISSION” on the screen with some kind of friendly but subtly ominous logo

These LLM tools are a leap forward as far as finding the point or two that matter to anyone, out of multi-page emails drowning in interpersonal drama that matters to no one

Strap in for a fast-paced, high-adrenaline battle of update notifications… apply all the necessary updates, rack up updates that lead to more updates, and bank useless new features! Dodge updates that break your workflows! Skip updates to Java! Report fake update notifications as phishing attempts! Defer updates in the middle of your work, but watch out! Defer too much and Your Administrator may update it anyway, and then it's all over for a forced reboot!

Fun for all ages, for all eternity! From KafkaCo, makers of Make-It-Stop!-as-a-Service

God dammit I'm just trying to open the software I own a license for to continue a project I started only last week

Although I will say, having just returned from Europe, the Germans are doing things the AI community in the US has not yet even considered incorporating with gravy

An AI app I might want: automatically translate the stilted, barely coherent business-speak of particular colleagues into simple plain english

I just told some new work acquaintances that “I’m on all The Sites,” and you know, in a way, it’s true

Exiting the era of expert blogs and entering a maelstrom of GPT-driven clones of expert blogs is going to create a market opportunity for anything that isn't "AI"

What products that means we'll see, I dunno, but I would flock to something that can rank more highly the "The Points Guy" article all the "omgboarding.com" and "urflightseatgurulol.com" sites are cribbing from

Well this has been a lot of topics recently

(Anxiously sitting in airport terminal) “come on, come on…” (checks watch yet again) “when are they finally going to announce—“ (speaker crackles to life) “THE USO IS LOCATED IN TERMINAL B AT GATE 9…” (leaps from seat) “FINALLY!! I HAD NO OTHER WAY OF LEARNING THIS INFORMATION”

People will tell you things like lol that's impressive, maybe don't eat so much, looks like you've had enough, you ate the last ones out of the box, no we don't have another box of Cheezits, let go of me, I don't have any more hidden in my pants, what's the matter with you, Jesus where's your self respect — and that's when you know: the upper jig has turned
