We're continually told AGI will lead to a world of deflationary abundance, but here at the foothills it's looking like humans are going to be priced out of everything.

Well written and agreed transparency is essential here. We can look to commercial aviation for some comparisons. They have to be transparent else people stop boarding. And, not just SF but the entire coaster design, build, operate and regulatory players need to engage.

For the first time a software program shows an “Ai” button and they also included a “remove Ai button” link so it doesn’t continue to intrude. Now that’s kind and user friendly. Now I want to subscribe just because they were so thoughtful and not pushy. All other companies take note.

We have no idea what the motivations were for the Air Dubai co-pilot. We do know that a lot of people are going to use this event for political purposes. Approach all coverage with caution.

AI is a useful, accessible tool that increases efficiency, which is why so many tech CEOs have to openly threaten their workers to use it

I feel your pain. I’ve since concluded that it’s often not the software but the fact that most travel policies in the system were cooked up by some clown who’s never left their desk on a business trip.

The FAA should be much more transparent about what Is going on here. My first question has to do with tech staffing at these locations (techs fix what breaks at ATC facilities). Tech staffing has been an ongoing Issue with ATC that hardly anyone talks about. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

They have no gods. They work magic, and think they are gods themselves. But they are not. And when they die, they become dust and bone, and their ghosts whine on the wind a little while till the wind blows them away. They do not have immortal souls.

When they eventually make a movie about this time, please don't put the male politicians in good suits. IMO, the ugly, low rent tailoring should be part of the story.

For the last 2 years I have been tracking a generational change in the nature of software development, and I think I've finally decided where all of this turmoil is going to end up. It's good news, but not for everybody. seldo.com/posts/we-are-all-product-…

We are all Product Engineers now | Seldo.com
Agents are eating the software development lifecycle from the bottom up — code generation already gone, review and ops following fast. What remains is figuring out what people actually want, which can't be automated or scaled. That job is called product engineering, it pays $240k, and nobody's training for it.

The people who go to supermarkets at weekend are a very different species to weekday shoppers. It feels like they’ve just materialised for their first day on earth in the Tesco fresh produce section. No, you can’t just stand there. Yes, that’s a carrot. Well done.

Concur starts in a low place as the tool of corp travel managers and then descends into lower circles of hell depending upon how it was “customized” by an IT group under the direction of said travel managers and accountants.
