I think the “mythical man month” rule of software is over. The cost of onboarding before becoming effective on a code base is probably about a day now.
When will Steve Carrell star as the Commandant of the”Space Academy”? Perfect merger of Space Force and Rooster. His whole life has led to this moment.
Arnold @Schwarzenegger, please make the movie, “Conan of the Isles” (see plot of the book by the same name)
. @elonmusk what are your thoughts about bringing rare metal asteroids into earth orbit? Do you have a roadmap or timeline?
Hey @Copilot, is this bug happening to others? I can't seem to make podcasts about anything else (are you trying to tell me I'm on the computer too much)?
I never had much use for accessible image descriptions. With so many useless AI images, it’d be more compact to just see the text alternatives.
Political posts are a reply all to a company email telling people to stop replying all to the company email.
If your advice is, “it depends” or “you just have to play with it and see” you are either being sophomoric, or you don’t know. Good experts might start with those words, but they don’t end with those words.
The rainforest is slowly being delivered to your mailbox. Everything useful probably gets delivered straight to your door instead.
In the future, everyone will just know one language, because computers will translate everything seamlessly. This may cause so much eventual divergence that we will all speak a unique native language that no one can understand without a machine.
If you are doing an Ai talk, cut the part where you say, “AI is going to change the world.” No really. Just leave that part out. It hurts your talk.
My hot take:
Doing low prep? Do a short talk.
Solid prep? Go for a long talk.
Killer prep? Do a short talk and drop the mic.
Low prep talks are going to be bad, but if you have something interesting to say, just edit it down to the good part and your audience probably appreciates it faster than they are bored.
