I am sorry, which company is this? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
At Microsoft, which rolled out Al widely internally, executive vice-president Ryan Roslansky recently publicly lamented the prevalence of Al slop in his day-to-day work. After receiving iwhat was clearly an Al-generated doc from a co-worker, he used his Al to summarize it and came away with no new thinking about the idea, he said. He warned his followers against falling into this potential "doom loop", where Al does the reading and writing and leaves behind an "ocean of sameness".

Recently we have started hosting a fortnightly RPG game at our house. It's a secular occasion but it happens on Fridays so we also celebrate Shabbat in the company of our guests, and we're trying to always have that mean there's a meal before the game. It's early doors yet but it feels real good.

I had two kids in the NICU which produced a $10k bill because two insurers both said "not me!" for 36 hours of it. I fixed it by applying the full scope of my skills as civil litigation attorney. It would've cost >$10k to hire me to do it; as a policy matter, I consider that wholly unacceptable.
