The bullet proof vest is hilarious too. This dude didn’t kill a kid and the parent is gunning for him.

A professional assassin hired by wealthy CEOs wouldn’t care.

I didn’t claim I won because of Genai, I won the contract while saving time by using genai.

That’s beneficial for me.

I don’t think most adults have that capacity, but doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

As George Carlin once said, imagine the average American, then realize half of them are stupider than that.

Is it beyond the authority of the king?

I can’t wait for the antivaxxers to all stop eating eggs and chicken.

And it’s pretty disturbing that despite the absolutely massive avalanche of evidence that these tools have valid use cases that improve productivity, you’re pretending they dont.

I don’t care to argue, you keep ignoring them, I’m gonna keep making more money for less effort.

Depends on how you count.

I have four regular clients in post secondary education, local government, finance, and transportation.

Given that I’m doing work inside those companies, it could be argued I work in four different industries.

That being said, the tasks I do happen in almost every company larger than a handful of people.

Am I not in an industry when I do work?

I’m not the only freelancer I know using this and making more money.

GenAI isn’t meant to address every single situation, so it failing to address specific situations is perfectly normal.

I don’t know why anyone is doing generic worker studies when clearly half the people have been handed a hammer, when their job is cutting lumber. Of course it ain’t gonna fucking work for them.

Give people GenAI when their task is suited to GenAI, then do analysis on just those workers for just those tasks.

I never use GenAI to produce research documents, because it isn’t good at that yet. I tested it a few times, found the results lacking, and went back to doing it the way I was before.

I use GenAI to summarize my notes into Statements of Work for clients, because I tested that, and found the results excellent (and hours faster than me doing it the old way)

I use GenAI to create complex powerFx formulas, because again I tested that and it’s quite good and saves me time.

Well last time I did this, I won the contract and got paid.

I’ve used it for every contract I’ve had for the last year at least.

I’m a freelancer, I use it myself, I know it’s increased my productivity because I’m able to get more work done than I was doing before.

I think a lot of companies are trying to force it into jobs that it’s currently not suited to, but I can tell you that even today if things didn’t get any better than they currently are I’d keep running my local 14B parameter model to assist in the tasks that I’ve found it works well for.

Plenty of examples out there.

I use it to write excel and Powerfx formulas, summarize my client notes for creating statements of work, and creating documentation. Saves me multiple hours per week and some weeks even more than that.

It’s not going to fall apart, genai tools are already increasing productivity in many industries.

Just because you haven’t seen any benefit doesn’t make it false.

The point is that better leaders would have not let this happen, it wasn’t inevitable.

We also allow it for grizzlies.

It’s part of a population control system to make sure they don’t end up in human controlled areas or killing each other due to competing for limited resources.

Same reason they do this in Africa for elephants.

There are some 16,000 polar bears in Canada, and if a fifth of those have two cubs every second year that’s a lot of extra pressure on the food supply for them, which is already having issues.

They’re endangered because there’s not enough food to support a larger population in the areas they live, not because they can’t have babies.

Eggs are not super expensive in Canada despite also having issues with bird flu.

Canada structured their industry differently via regulation such that the impact of a bird pandemic wouldn’t be as damaging.

My eggs are cheaper in Canadian dollars than your average is in American dollars, despite the exchange being like 1.42 cdn per USD.
