Whenever I read any AI-generated documentation of any kind, it feels like my brain immediately blanks and I can't comprehend what I'm reading. It's like my brain blocks out the particul…

The worst part of these AI meeting notes and recordings is that I have literally never seen anybody , in any situation, go back to them. The (very) few times I ever bothered to check the transcript…

I have approx 10 meetings a week, usually more, sometimes less. Let's say around 8 hours a week spent in meetings, sometimes with people who hold the power to fire me. Depending on your role this…

And outside of idiotic demos, who exactly is going to ask an LLM to look at hotels in Montreal for them? This usecase has never made sense to me in the slightest

I'm definitely noticing, I imagine the populace at large will soon too. I'm not even talking about random software either, the company I work for has more and more fired that need to be put …

It's just so blatantly and absurdly evil for literally no reason. It's a cartoon villain type of plan, the absurdity of it leaves me at a true loss for words
