(De gör de inte.)

I especially loath the suggestion that AI can write and do my research for me — screw that! That’s the part of my job I genuinely enjoy. I’m not going to hand it over to Racist Autocorrect to please the tech overlords and justify their capex.

My main use of AI is for transcription of audio files, and I once saved multiple hours asking copilot to explain how I could make something work in Microsoft Admin mode. AI isn’t useless, but it is insanely overhyped.

Sent my sister in Denmark money for some Christmas gifts. Had to fill out a very detailed form by hand and then wait for the clerk as she retyped it on her computer, punctuated by questions like “is this a 4 or a 9?” “You didn’t fill out which region in Denmark”
2 hours!

I’m not saying these views should be ignored (the books are on my to- read list), but there is a tactical element to this too. Why did the people collect 10m signatures for nuclear armament suddenly realize that a ”slow incremental approach” was necessary?

Actually not entirely anecdotal, Alex Hynd makes that argument here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

And if you don’t close the door properly when you leave:
DING DING DING I AM NOT LOCKED 😡😡😡

Always appreciate you sharing your two cents, Frank.
