Ragequitting is also degrading to NPR.

I believe there's already a Fallout 4 mod making extensive use of this tech to greatly increase the number of dialogue options.

Because he thought a lot about poverty and how to relieve it, as well as having practical working knowledge of the problems.

That's my preference as well, and I think it represents a fairly large contingent of players.

But the podcasters and streamers lean heavily to action comedy, and I think that's what's in the popular culture as far as the game goes.

Given that, I can't blame the movie for not playing it straight.

He's very likely the user on the platform with the most engagement, and probably by a long distance.

From that viewpoint, it does make some sense to use his account as measurement point.

Masterful comic timing and repetition.

I'm curious to hear anyone's experience using the language. Or is it brand spanking new and no one has yet?

We've converged on the designs with the greatest acceptance. Not anyone's preference, just what they'll accept.

The phrase "lowest common denominator" applies here.

A fantastic new tech has been developed that can vastly improve the lives of everyone, and your reaction is to slow it down?

No thank you.

Rather than being afraid of change, embrace it and work to take the opportunity to make improvements for as many people as possible as fast as possible.

Bing in creative mode really struggled with this task, and I don't think I could have successfully forced it.

Bing in precise mode had no trouble at all.

Me - Let's generate an acrostic sentence for "jack and jill went up the hill"

Bing - Sure! Here’s an acrostic sentence for the phrase “jack and jill went up the hill”:

Just as children know and never doubt, joyfully in love, laughing while enjoying nature together under pure trees, having endless happy interactions, laughing loudly.

At this point I'm really not sure what they're up to in terms of grand strategy. I don't even know that making money is their ultimate goal. At a certain level of ambition money is just a tool to get what you really want.

I some times listen to astral projection / self-hypnosis tracks as I'm falling asleep. It definitely leads to more aware and more vivid dreams for me.

I've been thinking that AI managers is the real killer app for AI. There are challenges, but none seem insurmountable even with the present base tech.

The last time I felt that magic was the BarCamp scene. People would give presentations on whatever they wanted, and it ran more on the fun side of things than the useful knowledge side. But even that was almost 15 years ago now.

I really like that approach of asking it what needs to be clarified. That's going straight into my GPT toolbox.

Search works like that, right now.

I can choose the level of safety I want in my results. With a very coarse granularity, but I choose it.

I don't want to take a huge step backwards to where I can't make this choice.

And I imagine it will blend into the lunar background, which also seems like an odd choice.

I'd like to see them personally financially wiped out, but that's not how this process works.

I suppose it's possible there could be a shareholder suit against them. That would be interesting.

They've been fired and their bank has been shut down.

Not sure how they're getting a pass.

You've never met an elite who has called themselves an elite in your presence.

I promise you many of them define themselves as elite.

I just gave chatGPT the prompt "write a poem" and it gave me an original little ditty about nature.

The novelty was not in the prompt.

The bank is already gone. It's been wiped out.

The discussion is now about the depositors.

Musk has made it pretty clear from the start he's looking to eliminate most (if not all) roles like that.

Those roles do tend to proliferate far beyond their actual utility in large organizations.

Do you actually think it will go down for good?

That seems extremely unlikely to me.

Maybe. But this process can take decades. Even longer than your entire career in some cases.

"*Sake not included."

I'd have a lot more respect for them if they'd just say this. It's apparent to everyone, but they insist on dancing around it and attempting to project a virtue they simply do not have.

Speak for yourself

In the 90s my girlfriend worked for the American office of a Danish industrial design company that closed at noon on Fridays. They claimed it was how everyone in Denmark worked, but I had no way to confirm it at the time.

I've had 4 day workweeks at two different times in my career. Once in my 20s, when I worked 10 hours days to get an extra day off. Didn't matter since I worked close to that anyway, and often more. The day off was flexible, so I chose Wednesday whenever possible. Two "weeks" of two days each worked great for me. Best schedule I ever had.

Another place, the salary was slightly lower (but not much due to the way they did levels), but the tradeoff was worth it. This was near the end of my time working for other people, so I was honestly on my way out anyway.

I think it's hard to make an entire company work on a 4 day schedule if you're interfacing with clients and so on. Or do the thing where half are off Monday, half off Friday.
