I just saw a Backerkit campaign for an "AI male device." I will let you use your imagination for its purpose. It kind of gave me a bad feeling, like "wtf is in store for humanity?" Although certain men would find it "Utopian."
Why do I feel every meeting has a rambling motormouth that will speak for at least 80% of the meeting, making the most obvious, remedial "points" (with illustrative anecdotes of course and repeating them over and over) and then keep the meeting running late?
This sounds like a former CEO I used to work with. Huddled an entire team into a meeting g bc he wanted an update, proceeded to talk through 80% of the meeting time.
End result: someone was appointed to send an email with the update.
People with no social lives outside of work tend to do that. They have no one to talk to other then on meetings, so they talk a lot on meetings. They are not aware of what they are doing, but it is a consistent pattern.
Correct. We have contractual agreements to ensure no data that passes through our platform will be used for model training purposes. In addition, we have in our contracts that we (Consus) will also not use any data for training purposes. We couldn't if we wanted to since we do not store any prompt data.
I learned a lot in college, but living with people my age really helped me socially. I went from a shy nerd who could not make eye contact to the "life of the party" (still a nerd though).
my anecdote is i struggled to relate to my peers in college but my early jobs and housemates post-college helped me much more socially than college did. i guess my friends and i did much better with tangible stakes
college gave me a skill i often discount: the ability to collaboratively communicate knowledge in a group project setting. its so secondhand that i only noticed much later in life i honed that skill in college
If you live in the DMV, you can get a free DC library card. You then get free access to Kanopy - a good streaming service with no ads. That could scratch the streaming itch without having to pay for these expensive services.
The Kanopy model is fascinating. Library members get free views but there are limits as the library has to pay for those views. Our county library system has a Kanopy subscription at each library and county residents are eligible to become members at every location. Kanopy supports adding multiple library cards, so you can boost your limit.
I've been to the DMV and experienced hours long waits, and I thought I might never leave, but I didn't know living at the DMV was a big enough group to warrant a shout out.
