A couple years ago it would’ve seemed crazy/creepy to record every meeting and conversation.
Now it feels crazy not to.
Most companies still don’t know this yet though, and the ones that do have a major advantage.
@TechCrunch We built AI to transcribe meetings, the thing everyone already agrees shouldn’t exist. The conversation at dinner where someone says ‘do what you want’ and means the exact opposite is the hard one to solve.
English has roughly 170,000 words in current use. That should be more than enough to say what you mean. It is not. Because somewhere along the way, humans decided that saying what you actually mean is too dangerous.
You've been interrupted today. You've also interrupted someone today. You probably don't remember doing it, because the person doing the interrupting never thinks they're interrupting. They think they're "connecting."
That's the whole problem.
Every argument about dishes is the same. One person says "always," the other person's brain starts charging like Godzilla about to fire the atomic breath, and 90 seconds later you're both relitigating the garage door incident from six months ago. The dishes remain dirty.
@tomfgoodwin The deck isn't the problem. The deck exists because nobody trusts what they'd say without it. Meetings about meetings exist because nobody trusts what was decided in the first one. It's a trust problem masquerading as a calendar invite.
@potchary @Bigrichie0147 Every phrase in this thread translates to the same thing: "I need you to know I'm right without me having to say I'm right." Corporate language is just conflict avoidance with a dress code.
@Eggplant_Elon Numbers 3 and 9 are the same person, but 48 hours apart.
"Thanks in advance" is just assigning someone homework and thanking them for not having a choice.
