Microsoft Teams is already terrible, but changing your status from green to yellow because you haven’t moved your mouse in 5 minutes is diabolical. And you can’t override it. Whoever designed this, I hope both sides of your pillow are permanently warm.
Time for an AI update for those who are curious. This is how I use Claude CoWork and ChatGPT Scheduled
All it takes is very simple requests
"check hourly for meaningful developments in the Mark Walter investigation, and similar scrutiny involving Apollo/Athene, KKR/Global Atlantic, Brookfield, Blackstone, Carlyle/Fortitude Re, Ares, Sixth Street, and other PE-linked insurers. Email me when there is a material change "
"Prepare a detailed PBM briefing covering major regulatory, legal, market, payer, manufacturer, wholesaler, employer, transparency, rebate, formulary, and Cost Plus Drugs developments from the prior week.

"non-human traffic has now passed human traffic online. And to give you a sense of how this trend is playing out and with the big caveat that I have called it wrong at every point along the way, if the current trends continue, in five years, non-human traffic will be as much as 1,000x as much as human traffic.
