Nice to see something like this on a gaming site (but fuuuuuuck their popups):
Since the advent of modern capitalism (and likely a long while before that), those in charge have often misunderstood, underestimated, or dismissed the hard work that goes into labour they don't understand.
"Dwarf Fortress" would be a great name for a band.
So would Elven Underwear and The Hobbit Belly Band
"They took the letters from me! I have to talk about dwarf behavior now. I can't even talk about dwarf AI. It doesn't exist. It's dwarf behavior, and they misbehave sometimes."
An under-appreciated AI gripe: professionals can't discuss it anymore.
Anyone working with AI-other-than-llm is now constantly getting weird looks and stupid comments from LLM bros
Similar problem, I had to remind my daughter that I work.in a data center when she was complaining about data centers the other day, and that data centers are pretty coon, her beef (and frankly mine), is with wasteful hyperscaler data centers for AI use.
Our city sent out a map of all the existing data centers in town claiming it’s proof that they dont cause problems.
I don’t think our healthcare facilities data center even remotely compares to Colossus. That’s like comparing a regional grocery store to fuckin Walmart
that data centers are pretty coon,
Pretty Coon:
I have no idea why it did that, I think it was supposd to be "pretty much everywhere".
Typing on mobile? I assumed you were going for "common" but hit the backspace key by accident, since it's right there, and ended up with c-o-m-backspace-o-n.
Your subconscious just needed everyone to know how pretty Carrie Coon is. Simple as
At least the cryptographers could fall back on the full name!
Well, "AI" in games was always behavior, rather than having anything to do with AI. It was just marketing.
And even then, artificial stupidity is usually more accurate than AI. FPS bots could easily headshot you immediately on sight but like, what good is that. It's literally more work to make them worse at the game.
True thought there were some exceptions, like Black & White.
Management is a cult.
No, seriously. You have to participate in large scale acts of groupthink and demonstrate performative conformity just to be accepted; and once in the group you better not stray too far from the messaging of executives.
Absolutely, if I can just chime in here and address the elephant in the room, we really have to focus on the low hanging fruit and leverage our KPIs to really drive home any wins. From a 30,000ft view it looks like we have synergy and alignment here, but if we zoom in we can see that there are nothing but roadblocks and pain points with our holistic approach. I propose we circle back and try to realign our core competencies and remember what really made us a rock star team in the first place.
And just make sure that you've got enough cycles to onboard the efficiency innovations recommended by Claude. I know you're all excited to have a boost in productivity, but make sure to balance the infrastructure goals against the priority backlogs. Like Claude says, how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. So get out there and have a great sprint, we'll meet at tomorrow morning's stand-up for updates.
Great points, we had a strong Q2 and our projections show a very strong Q3 as well, but we don't want to split our focus too much with all the market uncertainty. Remember, there is no I in team, but there is an I in Key Performance Indicators. So make sure you are moving the needle and let's keep our bandwidth high so we can finish strong. I sent everyone an email and a DM and a voicemail and a paper letter with a printed QR code. Don't forget to use that to fill out the feedback survey by EOW.
You guys have really solid points and good thinking there. I’m just wondering if we have enough bandwidth to achieve the goals ?
I propose we book a meeting with ALL the relevant stakeholders and their mother to facilitate the project pre-kick-off.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
You don't get to COD 49 with original creative ideas.
CEOs get rewarded for getting rid of staff so here we are. Who gets rewarded when the CEOs are let go? Oh right, they get golden parachutes.
It's become particularly nasty with generative AI, however, because now said CEOs can still see an end result that mimics the thing they don't understand
CEO looks at AI quake: "it's literally the same thing!"
(for those who don't know what AI quake is: https://youtu.be/iBmjTXOK9xw)
"Slowly"
Let's get something straight. The people at the top are all hired by the CEO and want money. They tell the CEO what a special smart boy he is, the biggest dickus around.
This has been the way of things for decades.
CEOs and higher ups give themselves their own "yes man" psychosis and the higher you go, the more prevalent it is, and it flows down from there.
AI is just socializing the yes man sycophancy psychosis our "corporate leaders" have been experiencing by isolating themselves from society and only surrounding themselves with an echo chamber of paid sycophants.
the real trickle down economics was the psychosis we gained along the way
Just look at our current president. He is the ultimate byproduct of this mentality.
When Tarn makes big statements, people ought to listen.
Don't know if I can trust him, since the photo shows he's playing the graphical version of the game.
Money has been giving management psychosis for generations. AI is just another iteration of that
I think my manager has broken out of the psychosis. He was really into it but has seen it's limits real quickly
