How does iMessage not have section under group chat settings to see mentioned events/dates? Siri already supports natural language event creation, I feel like they could’ve had this feature well before AI

@sharp4flat7 @0xSero I imagine the real limitation for this though is the interconnect. Spark can help AS and its USB tops at a 10/20gbps I think, not sure if USB 4 gpu pcie tunneling can help any to hit 40gbp on workstation, or if that is reserved for the display pipeline only.

@sharp4flat7 @0xSero I also have a 4x r9700 build, WRX90 board has 7 pcie 5 slots+mcio so could fit another 4 with risers and a frame to hang the gpus from vs my workstation case. I would be curious if something like apple silicon/spark can aid the RAM pool the way Spark+AS can work together via EXO.

The manufacured hype on the tl surrounding overpriced, underclocked gb10's in laptops is getting pretty absurd.

Kinda crazy Macs are backordered a month out minimum for a custom config if ordering through Apple, or you can go to Microcenter and get a custom high-end config today for $800-1200 off.

if your agent isn’t named Spark or Atlas, welcome to the permanent underclass

The only thing that would be transformational IS something that could actually perform the whole role at this point. Which means direct client relations. Nope. But If you can patchwork together 90% of someone’s day to day administrative tasks with automations and a dab of AI here and there, it’s more than enough to feel like the hype everyone’s been hearing about but can’t quite understand. More than enough, and cheap enough, to implement and improve QoL. Happy to embrace that middle ground, it’s just an interesting spot.

[John C @MeJohnC]

I think a minimum of 2-3 agents will be required to add any value to the average white collar worker’s day. Managing tasks that would build up or steal days here and there. Certainly meaningful but not replacing anyone any time soon. Now if you refuse the productivity increase…

[John C @MeJohnC]

But it’s not transformational. I think another agent that tracks client research, data work, auditing, and even automation remediation that solves the other half of the time question is another piece of the pie but again not transformational, but closer.

The RBG cult is too psychologically interesting, I waste three minutes thinking about it whenever the topic comes up.

What’s the most popular message on RBG merch? Typically it’s “I dissent.” The stans aren’t venerating her opinion in United States vs. Virginia or Evenwel v. Abbott. She’s the icon of being smart and right while losing. This has transferred over to KBJ fandom; she never wins, but look at her epic roast in this dissent.

It’s a cult of never holding power but being smug that the people holding power are wrong and maybe the biopic in 20 years will say so.

The Jedi are a religious FBI/CIA hybrid with amazing state power when aligned with their supporting branch, but still ultimately under the thumb of the dominant branch of government.

The Senate in Star Wars, much like our Congress, had become quite useless, and all of its power flowed up to the Chancellor due to the war powers. So the only risk to Palp's plan was the Jedi turning themselves into legitimate criminals and hastening his plan, really. He could have just formally activated Order 66 at that point, and he would have been right to do so in the eyes of the Senate. Especially in this context, Jedi using a resurrected Sith Lord war criminal's word against that of the Supreme Chancellor as justification for breaking the law and attacking him as a Sith? Also brings up even more points to question the Jedi on: wait, so a Sith that killed a Jedi is good and certainly not lying, but a public servant is a hidden master mind Sith lord? Also, have to consider, this doesn't PROVE he played both sides of the war, either. That's a separate concern/merely a tool he also has distance from.

Could the Jedi afford to wage an illegal holy war with this many complicated angles on the basis of Maul's claims alone, on top of the war? I know it feels like it's all right there, so many characters are so stupid for not figuring it out, but if they had, what could have truly been done?

I am glad I pulled the trigger on a year of GLM Pro for $180 in January, seeing these prices, and getting some great 5.1 utilization in Factory Missions!

I miss Nuzzel terribly. Why can't X create a real spiritual success since it's too expensive to do via API?

If AI and Automation are properly deployed at an org, it is an insane accelerant for any junior employee, especially ones with 2-4 years exp and a relatively broad understanding of their dept/org. They are free to take that power and run with it as far as their imagination lets them, as they are not so used to the drudgery of the bad processes.

Entire roles that were previously thought to be impossible, or ossified, are being democratized thanks to the need to properly implement processes and documentation to get full use out of automation and AI systems. That makes many roles far less opaque and more accessible to people at every level, at least in my short time seeing its impacts up close.

Once again, AI is not going to take your job, but your colleague who uses it to accelerate will.
