We had a mandatory ChatGPT training course at work. You had to sign up in limited space classes. This is a large company, needless to say it was chaos to get a significant number of people to participate. I got a spot. We were shown how to copy and paste data from excel and other data sources into the chat interface. We had sample data to work with, there was always someone in class who would say "mine didn't work."…

You do understand if every person in Malta were to use chatgpt regularly it wouldn’t even show up as a blip on their MAU chart Cue up the next cynical bad take.

But if you can prove any kind of success with Malta then you can go to the next 10 "slightly bigger" nations out there and tell them "See? It worked very well with Malta". And then move to a bigger layer, and a bigger layer...

Shady companies do this so that people get locked into the product and then come to expect it. Then the companies suck the blood out of the local and national government for every cent.

Too many people are stupid-stubborn and not even willing to pay 5$ a month for an online service that would help them greatly.

If a government thinks that ChatGPT even in its current form is a big boon, it makes sense to do this.

This is also insurance - your population gains LLM literacy and will have an advantage over other countries; even if it's only a tiny bit, at the level of states it adds up.

I asked ChatGPT about corruption levels in Malta and whether the technology companies pay bribes to officials to get contracts. It was honest in its response and said Malta has serious corruption levels by EU standards.

That answers my wondering of why on earth all citizens require a paid service of chatGPT.

I’m now responsible for improving AI literacy in the organization I work. But the people in charge just want the employees to just answer some questions so they can handover Claude or Chat GPT licenses so they can show people are using AI to improve productivity. There are people who don’t know when to use AI and when not to use Ai and think they can just Claude their way through everything. I wanted to change that b…

I was on a quarter demo the other day and the project lead for ai innovation was talking about the things he's preparing for the company. I will not address the things he pitched (as coming soon), as I'm a developer and (hopefully) not the target audience, but I was quiet surprised when they made a questioneer asking how many people use ai and how frequently. (The target demographic was middle management, product own…

> Considering it was anonymous

In the recent past, my department received an email from on high with a list of people who were yet to complete the "anonymous" survey.

I always assume my work-survey answers are traceable back to me, whether it's via self-doxxing with my answers, tracing links of the rootkit-level MDM software that can record my screen, but they pinky-promise to only use for remote assistance, in case I open a ticket with IT.

Malta is a country, Sicily is a region

A country is a region.

I believe GP's intent was to point out that a company can get into an agreement with a government (make an offer they can't refuse), but a company cannot get a "region" to sign an agreement/contract with them.
