Wonderful to see our ⚪️🔴⚪️ flag raised above another of the world’s highest peaks.

66-year-old Belarusian climber Lilia Yanovskaya reached the summit of Kangchenjunga, the world’s 3rd-highest mountain.

Together with the 🇨🇦 flag, our colors flew at 8,586 meters.

#ONStorm #ONwx Yeah, #Toronto ain’t moving anytime soon! 😱

This is the view around High Park in Toronto right now, with cars completely buried under deep snow.

We’re quickly entering record breaking territory with this storm across the city. This is easily the most snow Toronto has seen in a single day, and it’s still coming down hard in some areas.

That lake effect band just refuses to let up, continuing to hammer the city with intense snowfall rates.

Huge thanks to Jessica for sharing this photo with us via Ontario Storm Reports

Stay safe!

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.

$30 per seat per month.

$1.4 million annually.

I called it "digital transformation."

The board loved that phrase.

They approved it in eleven minutes.

No one asked what it would actually do.

Including me.

I told everyone it would "10x productivity."

That's not a real number.

But it sounds like one.

HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.

I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."

They stopped asking.

Three months later I checked the usage reports.

47 people had opened it.

12 had used it more than once.

One of them was me.

I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.

It took 45 seconds.

Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.

But I called it a "pilot success."

Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.

The CFO asked about ROI.

I showed him a graph.

The graph went up and to the right.

It measured "AI enablement."

I made that metric up.

He nodded approvingly.

We're "AI-enabled" now.

I don't know what that means.

But it's in our investor deck.

A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.

I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."

He asked what that meant.

I said "compliance."

He asked which compliance.

I said "all of them."

He looked skeptical.

I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."

He stopped asking questions.

Microsoft sent a case study team.

They wanted to feature us as a success story.

I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."

I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.

They didn't verify it.

They never do.

Now we're on Microsoft's website.

"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."

The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.

He got 3,000 likes.

He's never used Copilot.

None of the executives have.

We have an exemption.

"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."

I wrote that policy.

The licenses renew next month.

I'm requesting an expansion.

5,000 more seats.

We haven't used the first 4,000.

But this time we'll "drive adoption."

Adoption means mandatory training.

Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.

But completion will be tracked.

Completion is a metric.

Metrics go in dashboards.

Dashboards go in board presentations.

Board presentations get me promoted.

I'll be SVP by Q3.

I still don't know what Copilot does.

But I know what it's for.

It's for showing we're "investing in AI."

Investment means spending.

Spending means commitment.

Commitment means we're serious about the future.

The future is whatever I say it is.

As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

Памятаеце Лілію Яноўскую? Жанчына якая ў 64 года пайшла по 8000ніках. Так вось яе дачка мае выдавецтва ў Канадзе і ужо выдал 2 кнігі @LesleyKnife
Вось так нечакана я даведаўся, што скора будзе кніга про жаночы беларускі альпінізм

[Lesley Knife @LesleyKnife]

У беларусаў усяго па два, два сцяга, два ўрада, і гэтак далей. Ну вось і ў мяне цяпер дзве кніг - вось яна, другая. Дык вось пра па дзве штукі. Трэба разбурыць гэты ланцуг, я ж усё-такі тэрарыст. Трэба пісаць трэцюю.
