As a bonus you get to kick the seat in front of you the whole flight.

Would I prefer another candidate? Sure. Will I vote for Biden, especially against Trump? With alacrity!

You and me both buddy, now do everything you can to convince the fleeting numbers of sane folks in your party to do the same.

I hope he had his fingers crossed behind his back.

Autobot wasn’t great with this article. Basically you can say whatever you want as long as you don’t bring up voting fraud since that resulted in a huge settlement against Fox News.

Congratulations to Gukesh! Anand’s enduring legacy is all of the super strong GMs whose careers are just coming into focus that were inspired by his championship reign. I’m sure Anand is super proud of him and all of the others close behind. My hope is that Ding has a similar effect on China in a few years.

I feel safe in my assessment that this situation won’t improve matters.

Chris Christie had a great quote about the Republican field: “why are you going to drink new coke when you still have the option of coke classic?” He’s the only one of this field saying the emperor has no clothes and for the life of me I don’t know what any of these other yahoos are doing in the race. It’s Trump’s party now and not even him going to jail will change that in their eyes.

I applaud lichess for shining a light on this important issue. Chess should be a welcoming game for everyone. There should be no place for sexist assholes.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but there is a goddamn land war in Europe. Russia is an aggressive asshole and the whole world should be stomping on them until they stop being shitty neighbors. An investment in Ukraine is an investment in world stability and that is fucking priceless in my book.

He said Trump never called to check on him.

Correction, he did call but only to make sure that Christie wouldn’t tell people that he was the one that infected him.

This is wild to me. The previous VP was in danger of not making the first debate. Really shows how little space there is for Mike in this field.

It sounds like they have real-time access to the company directory. Might want to review the logs of accounts with permissions and access to your domain controller.

Found the asshole.

I really wish they would follow up a response like that with something along the lines of “well now that you have heard what he is doing, what is your initial reaction to that?” And when they inevitably somehow defend the military promotions BS then ask them directly about the white nationalist comments.

These people deserve to feel uncomfortable supporting shitty politicians.

Yeah. What asshole is going to blame someone else?

It might in replying generic answers to well known question.

That’s kind of the point of using the LLM to replace the person reading from the script right? Moreover, generic answers to well known questions could make up the bulk of the calls and you train the LLM to hand off to a real person if it gets stuck. The reality is the people doing that job were not adding a lot of value over what an LLM can do. So if the people are more expensive and the output is exactly the same as the LLM (or the LLM is even better as this CEO claims) the business will have to lay off the people to stay competitive.

We should be looking to retool folks that are impacted by technological advancements like this, but for some reason there is little appetite for that.

I hear you, but I can’t help but feel like blockchain is a solution looking for a problem most of the time. Is it super helpful in some very narrow niches… Sure. But go back a few years and people were saying it was going to be everywhere and clearly it’s not. I think LLMs will have many more uses than blockchain ever will.

I really don’t think it’s an overreach. In the same way that their used to be IT companies and now basically every company uses IT to do something, I believe AI/ML will continue to grow. It won’t be “we are an AI company” it will be “every company uses different kinds of AI everywhere to do things.”

Whether you believe the 90% claim or not, this is definitely the way things are going for tech support roles and probably many others. The real issue is even if a competitor didn’t want to lay off all that staff they will be forced to do so to remain price competitive. My recommendation for anyone, but especially IT, is to learn how to use LLMs as they will be pervasive before you know it.
