This is very good. Whether you think Recall is useful or not, the half-assed way Microsoft built it just to dump it on people is absolutely unacceptable.

We need to push back against corporations delivering shoddy work and forcing it on people.

Today a consortium the company I work for is part of we prepared a meeting on Monday where we'll defend a grant application. When it came to who was gonna present or answer questions people were very protective of me and two other people because "you are still so young, we don't want to overwhelm you".

I am 44 years old.

Boomers are really fucking Out of touch with reality.

Es geht Menschen wie Lindner bei "Steuersenkungen " ja auch immer darum, den Handlungsraum für staatliches Handeln zu verkleinern und damit immer mehr Services zu beerdigen oder durch Privatwirtschaft zu ersetzen. Er will euch nichts geben, er will euch Dinge nehmen, die seine Buddies euch dann vielleicht für viel mehr Geld zurückverkaufen https://zirk.us/@istuetzle/112564819454203392

Teilzeitquote geht hoch, was ja oft problematisiert wird. Aber es ist doch viel mehr ein Zeichen, dass Menschen das 40h/Woche Ding nicht machen wollen und andere Modelle suchen.
Ich und meine Partnerin arbeiten auch beide nur 32 h/Woche, die Zusatzzeit geht in Zeit mit unserem Sohn.

Ich weiß, ich hab das neulich schonmal gefragt, aber ich finde es nicht mehr:

Welches sind die angenehmeren Dienste unter den 'Bitte unterstützt meine Arbeit'-Spendendiensten?

Jetzt, wo ich keinen festen Job mehr habe, würde ich das doch mal erwägen. Wenn es keine Datenschleudern sind.

Brian Merchant comes to the same conclusions I outlined in my 2023 Re:Publica talk:

"Generative AI may or may not be a flash in the pan, but it can be a wrecking ball to your job regardless, especially if your boss is looking for an excuse to cut costs or to appear innovative — and you should be ready"

We really live in the dumbest world. Yes, many meetings are run (and documented) badly. And you shouldn't go to them. No agenda, no attendance has been my baseline policy for a while.

But what is that guy trying to do? Get people to run better meetings? No. He just wants to build a machine that allows you to pretend you were there. Because even a "AI bot writes a summary" thing (which doesn't really work but well) does not include the faked presence. But he thinks he needs that. Why? What's the problem that guy is trying to solve? Who is he solving it for? And has he understood the actual problem?

Like many people hate meetings for (as I said above) often very good reasons. But meetings also serve other less tangible functions of building trust, understanding of one another, a feeling of belonging and shared values. All things that he's not even addressing.

This is the prototypical "let's just slap AI on" and it's painful to watch the amount of money and people's time we throw on those pointless activities.

TBH: About 90% off all "open source AI models" are nothing moe than blobs. They might be what used to be called "freeware" but nothing more.

Woo! Just put down a deposit on a @frameworkcomputer

Looking forward to running @pop_os_official on it and, hopefully, building some expansion cards 🙂
