On the one hand AI has saturated my benchmarks for simple, unambiguous DAX questions. On the other hand, don't turn off your brain.

Playing around with the new Jev classifier model, thought it would be fun to play 20 questions. Inspired heavily by the great game Werewords. Costs about 0.2 cents per game. vibes.sqlgene.com/jev-20-quest...

According to Claude I have a DB "zoo"
SQL Server's up (2022, and you've got a nice DB zoo already —AdventureWorks, Contoso, StackOverflow). Building the SpaceParts SQL database now. Let me check the Python DB tooling for a fast bulk load.

Trying to set up a skill for Claude to help me make diagrams for PowerPoint and boy do I want some of whatever Haiku is smoking. It's like the spiderwebs when they give the spiders drugs.

I expect I'm going to be very happy with the Pangram Chrome extension, even if it's not 100% accurate.

Nothing gets written unless it passes through my fingers. Also! All blog posts at Tabular Editor get scanned by Pangram for AI writing.

In my experience, AI demos around #PowerBI can be presented as magic which can be frustrating and feel disempowering. I want to know how it works and why. At Power BI Next Step I will be providing an all day training with hands-on labs where you use AI to solve real problems.

ChatGPT search has been bizarre lately. Searching based words like "client" on Merriam Webster. Here it looked up a fabric store and the Fabric Minecraft server.

At Power BI DC days, Shreya Harvu and Bhargav Patel remind us why good semantic models are are still critical if you want AI to interact with your data.
