Management will employ β€œprompt engineers” just like analysts in the β€œgood old days.”

The problem is that lousy results occur with humans because of time constraints. AI can shorten the interval between the request and β€œbut this isn’t what I asked for.” Managers never learned how to prompt humans correctly, and I doubt they will be better with bots. It’s faster, though.

I notice almost all that block me are β€œstrangers;” that is, I’ve not interacted with their posts and vice versa.

I was looking for information about this.

Over on Reddit, I now see what appears to be to be AI-generated summaries of discussions on various topics. I haven’t decided yet how I feel about this. The summaries reek of bothsiderism.

I’m going to ask my marriage counselor to watch it.

The US has been making unilateral declarations of victory since before I was born.

Fun fact: I had a seizure in 2020. I couldn’t remember my name or what year it was. I am eternally grateful they did not ask me who the President was.

I dislike having my country described as though it were a beauty pageant contestant.

She’s on NewsMax now and has gone full neo-Nazi. Apparently she does not own a mirror or see herself on a monitor.

Although I was prepared to leave the US to avoid being drafted and sent to Vietnam, conscription does have some benefits. It encourages national service of some kind, prevents the military from being exclusively populated with a β€œwarrior class,” and reduces reliance on mercenaries.

The pop singer was actually named Arnold George Dorsey. His manager suggested the stage name. It wasn’t until the name change that he became successful.

Most people have no idea. Ronald Reagan became President because.Carter suggested people put on a sweater. Shared sacrifice hasn’t played well in the US since WW II.

Great fun comparing his Vienna and Berlin cycles. The latter uses the BΓ€renreiter β€œUrtext” but I think I prefer the former.
