"Scheduling a doctor's appointment and figure out the bill" is a problem that could have been solved decades ago in a functional health care system with a decent website.

“We spent $500 billion on a chatbot that can tell you how many Instagram followers you have, and can recommend you ask them what kind of posts to make when you’re out of ideas.” Okay Mark, sounds good, I think it’s time to go to your apocalypse bunker to stew in your own filth till the end of time

Profile Review: Jun 20 to …
Review my profile, looking at what has changed over the last 3 months. What are some key milestones and highlights?
Here's what's happening in the last 3 months, from Jun 20 to Sep 17.
Milestones
You crossed 103,400 followers, adding 4,200 net this quarter that's a 4.2% quarterly growth rate off 1.1M total views.
Your output was steady: 24 posts, 12 reels, 118 stories.
Highlights
Two reels did the heavy lifting. Your top performer pulled 61,200 accounts reached /
189,000 views; second place hit 42,800 /
121,000. Together they out-reached your other ten reels combined (104,000 vs 94,000) andReel Ideas for Your Audi...
Come up with 3 new ideas for new reels that will resonate with my audience
One thing first, what do you want these to do?
Do you want reach, meaning pulling in people who don't follow you yet. Or depth, meaning giving the people who already do a reason to stick around.
I want to build a deeper connection with my current audience
Looking at your comments and your previous reels, three directions:
1. Ask before you decide: bring your adience into a choice you haven't made yet. Two options, you're genuinely stuck, they weigh in. Being consulted lands differently than being shown.
2. The thing that didn't hoid up: revici

The thing about being a business is that you actually don’t have to “estimate” your productivity, there are math problems that do that for you

Kelly has built a staff entirely of Al agents and said he estimates he's "at least 10 times more productive."

Kelly introduced CNBC to several of his Al agents, each with its own distinct role. A bot called "Steffi" is in charge of technical analysis.
"Desmond" handles quantitative strategies, and "Houston" is, fittingly, mission control and pulls all the pieces together.
"I've crafted each of these agents to be a specialist in their field," Kelly said. "I wanted to isolate them and I wanted to get their unbiased view on what I'm doing."The robot circle-jerk logo

In a real tech industry in a real economy “chatbot that can read credit card statements” is something you come up with in a lab before spending a year or more figuring out how to turn it into an actual product that’s useful, not the product itself

• Consumers who gave the Al access to banking and credit card statements found it to be a great budgeting coach, leading them to cancel unnecessary subscriptions.

Once everyone gets here, we’ll know for sure, but people will probably be in and out over the course of the next three hours. That’s okay though, because we can all open separate tabs to make it easier for you.

Funny how all these guys who tell us Ai is inevitable are never able to identify an actual use case, just that "everybody should use it." His only argument in favor of using Ai is that CGI exists!

In the Future, we will all have personal, computerized assistants that can meet every need and fulfill any desire, but will also spend a lot of time haggling with other computerized assistants over the price of ceramic bowls and assorted knickknacks.

You'll never have to wait on hold with the dentist’s office ever again, or pay too much for ceramics, and all we ask in exchange is you only get electricity 3 days a week, all your groceries cost twice as much, and you have to live next door to a warehouse that sounds like a bonesaw testing facility

what is this supposed to be? what are we even doing here? When does the Future of the Economy start??
Instead, it suggested something even better — buying bowls from Heath Ceramics, a local ceramics maker with a dedicated following, on Facebook Marketplace, one of my favorite pastimes.
Wren told me it could message sellers and bargain on my behalf, and was already connected to my Facebook account. I gave the agent parameters: Buy only items that were half the price of what they retailed for, and make sure to haggle for the lowest price possible.
Wren combed through Marketplace and began messaging sellers about their listings, always starting the conversation with a lowball offer of $20 less than advertised. After receiving a counteroffer, it came back to me to strategize.

bro, just like check your credit card statement occasionally
Two weeks in, I found Muse to be the most useful A.I. app I had ever used. One clarifying moment came after I connected my credit cards to Muse and asked it to track my spending in Google Sheets. I watched as it spun up multiple tabs with hundreds of rows of data each in minutes, then flagged two duplicate subscriptions, which it canceled for me. Then Muse used my email to request a refund for a free newspaper trial that had expired, saving me $44.99.

This is a problem that a functioning healthcare system with a halfway decent website could have solved 20 years ago.
Last week, I answered a call from an unknown number. “I reached Anthem Dental and am about to connect you,” a voice piped up.
The call was from an artificial intelligence “agent” created by Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram. Ten minutes earlier, the A.I. agent had called my dental insurer, given them my member I.D., answered a security question and waited on hold before transferring me to the representative — just as I had asked it to.
I was surprised by how much easier the agent had made it to deal with insurance. It was one of many tasks that I accomplished with Muse, the A.I. agent app that Meta unveiled this month.
