  • I don’t get these companies that are trying to force AI down people’s throats.

    I really like how mine is handling this. They gave us Gemini like 6 months ago, along with about a paragraph at most saying that we must stop using AI services from unvetted providers (GPT, etc) with company or customer data, because we needed to have legal agreements in place for that.

    Nobody ever mentioned it again, at all. They probably provided us with that AI because we had people using all sorts of services and it was becoming a nightmare, so they signed some contract to cover data protection requirements and said “here, use this one if you must”.

    Now it’s just there. There’s zero pressure to use it. Some Google guys wanted to come over to make some presentations, some people signed up for those but they were entirely optional.

    You use it if you have a use case for it, or don’t, doesn’t matter. The only metrics are the one we’ve always had - deliver good work, on time. How you do that is up to you.

    The world is led by people who have the conviction that they are right.

    Most people are reasonable and therefore do NOT have this conviction, because they stop to question themselves and stay grounded in reality.

    But then there’s the feeble-minded, the narcissists, and the sociopaths.

    The first ones are quickly excluded from wielding any real power and mostly stick to yelling at other donkeys on the internet (where they do cause a lot of harm and can be easily shepherd - see US Capitol insurrection).

    The others are what’s called the ruling class.

    And that, kids, is why CEOs and politicians like Trump and his like rule the world.
