Another #CollabTalk TweetJam is about to officially get underway via X, Bsky, Mastodon, and Threads….

@ApatheticSJW @What23HasDone It's unCanadian for PP to hand the Vaseline to Trump as he presents himself, rather than put him on notice that any tariffs will hurt the US as badly as it's intended to hurt us, as BC, ON, and the Feds have done. Trump wants PP in power, he knows he's a willing patsy. Why else?

@BrianShoem88931 @What23HasDone @GregsGameReview If that's true then why doesn't Pierre get his security clearance? Why do his monthly expense amount to more than the other parties combined? Why don't you hold him accountable for the same things he accusers others of?

@nejatian @cafreeland "Destroying the livelihood" while boosting sales with 5 to 13% discounts. Math and basic sense not your strong suit so much as pretending outrage.

@StandingGuardCA @Jennife81346925 @CFIB No, you're just a buffoon.

@AP That'll buy a shitload of toilet paper for the "library."

@Chronotope Titles were (as far as I know) always subject to change. Coles or LL Bean would reprint a title and add their name, or for perrenials like style guides you simply see Title: xth Edition. Still an interesting observation.

With the impending change to the block option here and the ongoing enXittification of the app, you'll find me, and your posts will reach me, on Threads.

#CollabTalk Thanks for hosting @buckleyplanet , and once I worked out how to switch mics the live audio is a great way to connect! Cheers until next time.

#CollabTalk A7: Copilot won't transform business right away but LLMs are changing things already. It's a language engine. Better automated customer service. Better generated code.

[Eli Robillard @erobillard]

#CollabTalk - hey everyone following this tag, there is a great live audio conversation happening right now, check for that link, some interesting perpectives!

[Eli Robillard @erobillard]

#CollabTalk - glad to join the live chat!

#CollabTalk A4: And the remedy for dimished expectaions is training - it's not a magic oracle, it's a generator of words and pictures, and if you want that output to be relevant, it needs care and feeding.

[Eli Robillard @erobillard]

#CollabTalk A3: Key roadblocks to GenAI are expectations vs reality. Copilot is a great conversation engine but don't expect it to reason. It's okay querying raw data, but don't expect it to read charts and diagrams in PDFs.

[Eli Robillard @erobillard]

#CollabTalk A2: The standard answer here is permission reviews and a Search Center to check that content is appropriately secured, and then Purview / DLP as a backstop to throw nets over broad content areas, with a healthy dose of SharePoint Advanced Management.

[Eli Robillard @erobillard]

#CollabTalk: In every conference I've attended btw - everyone's talking about how to use GenAI, how to build, what licenses you need, while no one was providing a decent mental model of how an LLM or GenAI solution like Copilot actually works. So that's where I start.
