@clairlemon I think fuel retailers were the best example of government whataboutism, when the govt shook their fist at those 'greedy retailers' with their excessive margins (~10-16c/L (LOL), when the govt makes the most by far (~70c/L)

@DHughesy With tools like NotebookLM at your disposal, you've got rocks in your head if you're paying $54k+ for your for an arts degree. Take the $30 sub for Gemini pro and off you go. Degrees made sense to previous generations, not so much the current ones.

I had a frustrating experience recently. Someone asked for my input on a topic I’ve spent more than a decade working on. While I was explaining it, they were simultaneously using ChatGPT to verify what I was saying and attempting to correct me in real time based on its responses.

Needless to say ChatGPT was wrong and this person a moron. I felt dumber having had that conversation.

@elonmusk Like all those startups claiming to tap even 1% of their TAM, they’d be worth billions..

@NathanMcNulty It’s pretty incredible, basic modelling using their spreadsheet shows a 230 USD for a technical worker profile with 32 tasks of various sizes. 22,800 AIC a month. This isn’t the “running multiple agents a day, all day” that I heard about either..

@IAMERICAbooted It’s unfortunate how untalented people can rise to the top. Though it brings to mind a moment when I was in college, attending a panel with a series of IT leaders, where one cheeky student asked “it it true that CIO stands for Career is Over?”

@japan_nobunaga Have you told the story of the blue LED @japan_nobunaga ? I once told it quite breathlessly to a room full of NEC execs for them to look at me blankly..

You should see some of the funky stuff we’ve done with powershell and the graph API and m365. Would be interested to get your thoughts.. https://t.co/X01nObUlTc - dm me if youre interested in connecting it to a demo tenant (we do a lot more than what’s on the website, marketing ain’t as fast as dev lol)

[Anthony Koochew @AnthonyKoochew]

@markgurman Maybe they will address this.. https://t.co/w1vHCuSp9h ?

[Anthony Koochew @AnthonyKoochew]

@NathanMcNulty That’s fair; I think the ultimate measure is also are people using the tool you built with AI. Utility and outcome trump all. I vibed a simple PII obsecuring chrome plug in for one of our apps and it’s in use across the team when demos occur

@IAMERICAbooted One of my favourite sayings related to experience is “good judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.”

lol

@IAMERICAbooted 💯 I just don’t get how you can spend so much money without a thought to what you’re getting.

[Anthony Koochew @AnthonyKoochew]

I was once asked to bid on a piece of work by a client who insisted that I include deploying my “10 favourite Azure resources”. Confused, I asked what they were trying to achieve, to which they replied that they wanted to know what it felt like. I told them it felt like burning money and that I didn’t want to deploy something without a reason, at which point the customer snapped, “Well, all the others are, so you better bloody do it as well.”

Part of my soul left that day, and only sheer professionalism and bloody-mindedness kept me going through the motions and finishing the call, as I felt like I was watching myself talk in the third person.

I called them the next day, thanked them for the work, but told them I couldn’t work with them. What a shame it was these people in charge of a multi billion dollar piece of work.

@IAMERICAbooted My cto, and long time friend, hates documentation. If you want to see what’s been done check the live configs. He takes a strong stand against as builts lol

Hi @AmazonMGMStudio,

Many of us now work in filmmaking because of shows like Stargate SG-1.

It inspired us with its rich lore, believable character interactions, human drama, and its grounded military science fiction setting.

It showed the progress of humanity from its first baby steps through an unknown portal into a space-faring species.

The show was hopeful, human, and naturally diverse.

It showed the world and mankind coming together despite our differences to create something better.

Indeed, that is what the core of Stargate is and always has been.

We are from around the world.

We are men, women, fathers, mothers, grandparents, grandchilren, and proud of the values Stargate has always stood for. It's rare for a franchise that appeals to people across a political divide, but Stargate always has. It has always stood for the message that we are stronger together. These are the fans.

Martin Gero, Joe Mallozzi, Brad Wright, and everyone else involved have had decades to understand this. There is no better team to trust than the ones who've been there with us the longest. It's a symbiotic relationship.

I, and every Stargate fan, urge you to reconsider during this Window of Opportunity. The writing team was in the middle of their backswing during the cancellation announcement. At least let them finish a season.

We are worth taking a chance on!

I'm Emerald May, and I work in visual effects in Atlanta and I'm proud of shows like Stargate SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe that helped steer my career into a place where we make worlds come true.

Thank you.

[The Popcast Brothers @PopcastGuys]

This Stargate petition still stands... we just need to add Martin Gero to it. @AmazonMGMStudio you dropped the ball big time@ Never forget #SaveTheGate
