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 :(

This site really has become a parody of itself.

Outrageous, Malta is Europe, it needs an European provider, this is an European security issue. Malta need to align to European values as by agreement with EU.

You're not going far enough.

Closed software has no place in government whatsoever. It should all be open and/or locally run, and ideally GPL/AGPL licensed.

It is another level of stupidity/moral failing to use closed software supplied from outside your nation, though.

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

I have taken some really badly (on purpose?) written questionnaires in the past. Asking about team size, role, etc. That’s not anonymous at that point. That’s an agenda.

I've seen questions asking for my org, team size, role, and when I joined, and thought it would have saved me time had they asked for my employee number instead.

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.

OpenAI has to abide by the GDPR in the EU. The worry should be that US agencies can compel OpenAI to silently violate it.

Modelled after the Chinese curse, there should be be the European curse that reads "May the only thing that protects your private life be GDPR"

Anyone else feel like they're going insane sometimes?

It's so simple, everyone on HN knows this, but I want to scream at every non-technical person "these tools are not reliable! You can't trust them!"

They are so useful but the failure modes need to be hammered into everyone at the very start of each onboarding.

It would be totally rational as a layperson to just ignore AI and just check in every few months to ask "is it reliable yet".

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…

Talked to someone at a large company who had admin access to survey results (require to do some analytics). The survey was “anonymous” but results were geo-located, and had some information about the team they came from, which in many cases was enough to clearly identify people. There is a difference between “doesn’t have a persons name on it” anonymous and actually anonymized in a way hardened against figuring out who is who. I don’t think anyone really does the latter.

Facts for context: Malta has a population of only 550k. Everyone in Malta could already, before this deal/plan, and even without it now, use ChatGPT (or any other LLM model/service, whether free or premium.)

Citation needed. I haven't heard of this. I'm Maltese so feel free to be as detailed as needed.
