#282We 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."…
This sounds an awful lot like the early how to get on to the internet highway classes that existed. I don't think the classes had a lot of worth in the strict educational sense of like "here's how you do X Y & Z" but... We're I think much more effective at saying, you know, "X Y & Z are now possible."
It does take time and a little skill to know the edges of the AI tools. What's reasonable? What's not? What's likely to hallucinate? You could get something in the rough bounds of trust.
I can see a class helping with that.

#283Is it just me or genAi is starting to look like a massive surveillance program?
On the taxpayer money.
If you force me to pay taxes, and you offer me free access to inference, I don't see why I would run my local, privacy-focus model.

This article gives a distorted view of my country. We have a largely normal government with normal levels of corruption. You can compare Malta to a municipality in a big country. I have lived in many north western European countries and at the municipal level I personally witnessed the same levels of corruption, that in my native Malta would be considered the biggest scandal of the year. It's all a matter of framing,…
> in many north western European countries and at the municipal level I personally witnessed the same levels of corruption, that in my native Malta would be considered the biggest scandal of the year. Could you give examples of a few of these to illustrate the kind of thing we're talking about? It currently feels a bit hand wavy from both sides.
Most corruption that I have been witness to, both in Malta and abroad falls into two categories: nepotism and procurement/tenders. Both of these are extremely common to the point that most don't even consider them corruption. For context, I work in academia, so I am sort of by proxy employed with local/federal governments and am therefore privy to how procurement deals are made. There is nothing that happens in Malta that doesn't also happen in Germany or in any other country I have worked in. If anything in Malta someone is always going to cry foul, whereas if you're witnessing corruption at the municipal or state level in Germany, it mostly flies under the radar.

#285Not sure who is more corrupt these days: governments or big corporations.
What’s dangerous here is people will eventually stop thinking critically altogether, about anything, and their view of the world will be based on what they are shown on AI apps.

#286I wished Germany would do something similar
I certainly hope our government is not doing anything similar. I don't want them to pay millions to a foreign company like OpenAI and basically kill competition with that.

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…
So my electricity bills are rising just so corporate idiots can increase an internal metric. Fuck all of this.
Almost every bad thing happening in the world is so corporate idiots can increase some internal metric.

Half of people are below average, these classes raise the floor they don’t expand the ceiling
They certainly add hay to the haystack

Well the business model of Malta is being a tax evasion haven and access port for oligarchs. That’s quite a difference to most other European countries, although not all.
?? London, Paris, Berlin ??
That’s quite a difference to most other European countries
The difference being that you personally are not prejudiced against them for no other reason than your ignorance and arrogance.
