I wanted to see how they'd ensure only a Maltese citizen can use it. It's gated behind something called eID.

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…

If it's 75% exactly, that's consistent with them asking four people

I am worried that a govt would encourage their own citizens to use a foreign service that uploads every professional and personal interactions to an AI companies servers, presumably to be trained on.

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

:(

It's insane. They would be better of purchasing hardware and running deepseek locally.

At least the usage data would stay sovereign even if the model was trained somewhere else.

It wasn't, and it was visibly updating while people were submitting their answers. I just rounded it as I don't remember the exact number at the time they closed the submission.

Could still be faked ofc, but I don't think they did.

Similar things happen in different non-tech companies I know.

But nobody uses LLMs that aren't Gemini or Copilot enterprise, as they are already on Google cloud or Microsoft offering already.

And there's high pressure on workers to find use cases where AI can boost productivity, with bonuses dangling on who finds real case scenarios.

I don't know about the results of these experiments, but I know unhappiness is widespread.
