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."…

Grnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnguuurnnngh.

I remember the copy and paste drudgery from the early days of ChatGPT. It was a miserable and joyless experience. Nowadays (and for a long time) you can simply attach the file.

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.

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 :(

So sad indeed, a man is left out in the cold waiting for his turn to receive a stochastic-brain-implant-as-a-service.

I wanted to see how they'd ensure only a Maltese citizen can use it. It's gated behind something called eID. > Who can register: > > Maltese citizens and residents > Must have an active eID account > No previous AI knowledge is required From https://mdia.gov.mt/services/ai-for-all-ai-ghal-kulhadd/

Chain and shackle work in tandem.

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…

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

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 wides…

My favorite right now.

"Make the AI do xyz"

That clearly needs a custom harness to integrate with ORG tooling.

"No we won't pay for token usage, make it work with the subscription were already paying for"...

Guess you don't want AI then...

Next, maybe Anthropic can make Sicily an offer it can’t refuse.

Anthropic has Iceland, OpenAI has Greece and now Malta.

How is press freedom in Malta? Was everyone ever held responsible for the car bombing of Daphne?

I'm not sure what this has to do with AI but press freedom is poorer than most western European countries and the prosecution has left a lot to be desired. There are rumors of a trial happening later this year. As a local the Daphne case has been a sore point and something which makes me very angry and sad. However it's not the only country with debatable press freedom. It's somewhat difficult to know that my country…

The assassination of an investigative journalist and its subsequent handling is certainly a symptom of the island's embedded corruption. (And I say this as someone who likes the place!) When gambling and international finance make up >10% of the GDP, that's not unexpected. IIRC gambling and online gaming alone used to be >15% of Malta's economy but that balance has shifted over the past decade.

I'd think that the country's regressive anti-abortion laws are a bigger stain on its reputation. You can root out corruption. Moving the nation's Overton window towards a less illiberal stance tends to take a few generations.

I think you are mistaking hatred toward the Kremlin for hatred toward the Russian people.

Please explain how calling random people stereotypical Russian names specifically represents hatred toward the Kremlin and not Russians in general.

It’s only acceptable to make fun of countries like France or Britain etc. rather than developmentally challenged ones like Russia..
