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."…

My saddest interaction recently was with a friend with a 1st class degree in computing and several years experience in software engineering in many prestigious companies. I asked if he had tried out Claude code or anything similar. His answer: My company has scheduled a training course in that so I'll wait :(

I don't get what's sad about 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…

Just have IT roll out OpenClaw to everyone, connect it up to their emails, chats, password managers, etc and then click "go".

Why not?

Malta is an important component of Russia's money laundering Laundromat system. "Malta’s corruption is not just in the heart of government, it’s the entire body" https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/dec/03/malta-...

What does that have to do with ChatGPT?

Would be interesting long term if this sways public opinion about data centers in Malta. I do support though AI literacy in general and this is a good step. Would wonder about the deal in how much this is actually costing Malta if at all.

You do know it is possible for the answers to be anonymous but who submitted to be tracked?

This guy is wrong.

It's perfectly possible. Two tables, one stores answer responses only, the other just marks off who has responded. No link between them and you have anonymous data but can tell who hasn't responded.

Of course if you record created/updated timestamps on both, insert both records in the same order, accidently record the user code in the response data, take backups in between responses, have identifying questions or just don't have that many people responding it's easy/not hard to reverse engineer.

But it's quite possible to do right, I did it quite effectively almost by mistake years ago. Sent a customer survey out with generated codes as identifiers recorded with answers. Before sending reminder emails a script grabbed the codes, marked the customer as responded and wiped the code (so I could just get future responses where code was not null to mark next people off). Although I had timestamps the script meant customers were updated in blocks, there really wasn't any data to link them.

I know because the Boss was not happy he couldn't find out which customer had said what, and I had to point out all the communication (with customers and me) called it an anonymous survey, so why would I have saved them?

So it is possible, just not easy even if you intend it, and it's often not intentional...

I don't trust anonymous surveys either now...

> 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…

Yeah, just casually murdering journalists is totally normal.

Your username and comment history suggests it might not be wise to take your word as objective truth.

Definitely start with the executives, you can't leave them out of such a useful tool. :)

> We did get a certificate though. As someone who never bothered to get any certificates (beyond a University degree) even when I'd do online courses (of which the most course-like must've been fast.ai), are these ever actually useful in any manner?

There are so many stupid "courses" and SaaS tools doing this I imagine that the value of the many of these certificates is close to 0.

Many of them you can simply take the exam over and over until you pass, and then stick a shiny stupid badge on your LinkedIn profile.
