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!!

“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 ;)

We are sorry to hear this turn of events and we wish VeraCrypt team all the best. For us, Windows was never an option.
