How interesting that most senior managers say using AI makes them way more efficient, while those who do the intellectual work say using AI to generate drafts generates reams of fatuous slop that needs to be extensively rewritten & saves no labour time at all.

Is this because senior managers are using AI mostly to draw on quality information produced by workers?

Or because for senior managers (& politicians!), AI works because talking in verbose, content-less management speak - that can never be factually or analytically challenged bc it is invariably ambiguous, always plausibly deniable & often makes no sense at all - is what they are paid to do. It is actually THE JOB.

I’ll love to see an empirical study that tests this 😎.

If you know of one, please tell!!

Bosses say AI boosts productivity – workers say they’re drowning in ‘workslop’

Workslop refers to AI-generated work that seems polished but is flawed and in need of heavy corrections

“The Blade Was Never Clean” is now live on Tidal.

I gave Gemini one prompt: “LPCs to PsyDs tear meat from the bones of CPTSD” while brainstorming my essay “The Expert-to-Abuser Pipeline.”

Instead of structure, it cranked out a fully produced 31-second gangsta/nerdcore banger.

VeraCrypt to stop developing Windows application due to Microsoft revoking their driver signing certificate:

Sorry to hear about this turn of events, but it was pretty much to be expected given the way the world is turning, and Microsoft being Microsoft.

Switch to Linux if you can, and come give Shufflecake a try ;)

National government does NOT subsidise, and often can't even find out how much subsidy has been spent! This isn't just #plausibleDeniability. It also shows a much more decentralised version of governance and funding than the term #autocracy is usually taken to imply. #china #geoeconomics #AIEthics

@SusiArnott I see your point Susi, but this lose the-judicial-review option has already been floated by journalists with vastly more reach than me. And even if well publicised, it comes with excellent #PlausibleDeniability.

Ernsthaft? Du willst schriftlich festhalten, dass du eigentlich nur rätst? Anfängerfehler. Wer schreibt, der bleibt – haftbar.

Mein Business lebt davon, dass niemand mehr weiß, warum wir vor drei Jahren diesen Mist entschieden haben. Das sichert mir die teuren "Rescue-Projekte". Transparenz ruiniert doch nur meine Marge für spätere Change-Requests.

Wirf dem Auditor lieber Spaghetticode und bunte Slides hin. Das reicht völlig.
