More amazing from @skamille@mastodon.social
https://skamille.medium.com/the-managers-path-in-the-age-of-ai-279cb6611d66

@RuthMalan@mastodon.social - relevant to your interests:
"My suggestion is one that I suspect some will dislike: I think you actually need to spend more time talking to people. You’ve got all of these productivity enhancers, and they are driving everyone in the organization to move very fast. ... I am not sure that even the best summarizations are going to catch the ways these individuals and groups can drift off in different directions and start to lose alignment and coherence.

We should be spending some of our productivity gains on things that seem like slowing down: meetings, design reviews, conversations. These ways of maintaining alignment, sharing knowledge, and creating human connections are, in my opinion, more important than ever to creating good outcomes at scale."

Having forgotten my computer distance glasses at home, I am now wearing readers over my distance glasses. It's a nice look. Why yes, my camera is off - why are you asking?

@SwiftOnSecurity@infosec.exchange - fun fact: no one at Yammer had a chance to look at the copy before it went out. We all rolled eyes in a fusion of “oh no not again” and “this is not good”.

@nixCraft - echos of Learnout & Hauspie "The solution was to start a company and have it contract with L&H to develop the software. L&H said it gathered outside investors to fund the start-up, called Dictation Consortium NV. But L&H employees wrote its business plan and did the software work under contract, Mr. Lernout says. When the software was finished, L&H had an option to buy this "legal structure," as he calls Dictation Consortium, at a profit to the investors. The arrangement ensured that L&H could claim to be growing at a rapid pace. Dictation Consortium provided L&H with $26.6 million in revenue over the next two years, about one-quarter of its 1996 sales and 19% of its 1997 sales. Since Dictation Consortium bore the R&D costs, they didn't burden L&H's bottom line. In 1998, L&H bought Dictation Consortium for $40 million, gaining control of the software it so badly wanted." http://web.archive.org/web/20060420133237/http://www2.gol.com/users/coynerhm/how_high.htm

Switched from netsol to #fastmail for email hosting and am very happy. Even switched to their web and ios clients and am impressed. Would be nice if JMAP got more support.

The very first step in "How can we do Z?" should be "How would we know if we missed something important?". The answer should not be "everything is smoke and ash".

Should LLMs be regulated? Initially I was on the fence. Until Trump proposed blocking models that don't support his 2020 election theories.
