Remember when when @ryxcommar was like "lol, good luck to the product manager who dares to replace me?"

People who live in Boston, surrounded by the most impressive educational institutions in the world,

Tend to be on the fuck"n stupid side

This is good empirical evidence backing up the intuition that the major Chinese open weights models are quite fragile, good at some narrow areas but much less capable in general tasks or out-of-distribution work than the frontier closed models.

@RepLuna Imagine taking advice from a moron who represents a state where people regularly get drunk and try to buy Taco Bell from a drive through with a bag of meth instead of money.

This is a great catch by Matt Levine.

KPMG is trying to force its auditor to accept less money, since accounting work can be significantly automated by AI.

But KMPG ... makes money ... from accounting. So this looks like a company accidentally announcing to the world that its business model is under attack.

Matt: "'Auditing can basically be done by Al so why should we pay for it?' is not a crazy thing for most companies to think, or to say to their auditors. But it is a crazy thing for an auditing firm to say to its auditor."

@UnderSecPD They agitate both sides, you idiot

They try to get us to hate each other, and you are a sock puppet in this game, because you willingly play along.

Jevon's Paradox

[Rohan Paul @rohanpaul_ai]

A super interesting new study from Harvard Business Review.

A 8-month field study at a US tech company with about 200 employees found that AI use did not shrink work, it intensified it, and made employees busier.

Task expansion happened because AI filled in gaps in knowledge, so people started doing work that used to belong to other roles or would have been outsourced or deferred.

That shift created extra coordination and review work for specialists, including fixing AI-assisted drafts and coaching colleagues whose work was only partly correct or complete.

Boundaries blurred because starting became as easy as writing a prompt, so work slipped into lunch, meetings, and the minutes right before stepping away.

Multitasking rose because people ran multiple AI threads at once and kept checking outputs, which increased attention switching and mental load.

Over time, this faster rhythm raised expectations for speed through what became visible and normal, even without explicit pressure from managers.

You're telling us about a platform banned by Russia on a platform banned by Russia.

Naturally this is France's fault.

[Nomadic Man Purse @JDeanThomas]

@zachweinberg Not even remotely defending French labor policies,

But the fact that you are on here blurting out suggests you want to, but you don't like the conditions. And no one is going to twist your arm to do so.

A French worker is still much cheaper than a comparable American worker.
