@robertpopovic @rwang0 @TheAtlantic Wow almost 10 years ago 😲

@jmillerWFED @OMBPress @Hettinger_Tech @ciodotgov 10 years is a long time with digital, 10 years ago we were trying to do a lot of this stuff in the Obama administration. It takes a lot to move government and it's good to see initiatives like this codifying and making official efforts to do things better.

We're tied with 1982 for 2nd cloudiest June on record at the Portland Jetport. This data set only looks at noon overcast conditions and it is a little clunky as there's missing data in the late 1960s and early 1970s. June 1959 will keep the number one slot.

@JSTweetsDigital Not a bad view

@jigolden Checking bags is a nightmare

[Tom Cochran @tommer]

@ggreeneva Because it's their fault?

[Tom Cochran @tommer]

@jdo8302 @USAA_help Terrible to hear. @MWEnergy and I have similar stories.

Home from vacation today and @bterris is sitting on my kitchen counter (in book form) ordered by @eskinner on a recommendation from @alex

@jigolden That's also early in the am!

@jigolden But it's beautiful

@sarahjaneml @USAA @USAA_help This sounds awful and frustrating. Similar to my family experience, ongoing since December. No end in sight.

@LarryHartman @jongrzyb @USAA Couldn't agree more gentlemen. Read this story about my family's long nightmare of a stolen car and unresolved claim ... 6 months later. https://t.co/2N5I1Yd8i8

[Tom Cochran @tommer]

@Tammy Still incredibly frustrating, and points out the serious weakness of relying on AI and algorithms.

[Tom Cochran @tommer]

Terrible 6+ month ongoing saga of stolen vehicle and @USAA / @USAA_help not putting loyal 23-year customer before lines on a spreadsheet. https://t.co/F6JX6iMUI1

I asked midjourney to show me a photo of the president of the United States in 2060. This is what came back. #ai

This weekend I built =GPT3(), a way to run GPT-3 prompts in Google Sheets.

It's incredible how tasks that are hard or impossible to do w/ regular formulas become trivial.

For example: sanitize data, write thank you cards, summarize product reviews, categorize feedback...
