I'm curious how your current job handles genAI.

Additionally, how do you feel about their stance?

Where I work, we are encouraged to use our hobbled, in-house "private" genAI to help with things like tailoring the language in documents and emails to specific target audiences or answering simple coding questions. At our last Town Hall they told us all about using "personas". At least they didn't try a live demo.

We are forbidden using any of the built-in "helpers" in browsers, office, and development apps for now. They are disabled at the Enterprise level.

We are also forbidden from feeding our in-house genAI any proprietary information (via DLP).

There is an entire department working on getting more and more genAI tested, vetted, and approved.

I think it is siphoning people, time, and money away from less "sexy" initiatives to chase an impossible dream. I do not like genAI because everything about the way it was built and how it is being used is exploitative: to the environment it pollutes with fossil fuels waste and water theft; to the people whose data, art, and livelihoods were stolen to train them; and to the employees shareholders are salivating at firing as redundant. It's a half-assed technology developed in the worst way by awful human beings.

🧠 My therapist said that by doing this kind of customer service and tech support work for our customers, I am really helping people and that's a fantastic thing.

☎️ It's an older male customer, your average Minnesota resident whose first email address was issued in 1997 or so. He is chatty and congenial. He has charisma, and he's cheery.

@Jase I mean, but then you throw the baby out with the bathwater don't you?

The follow button has been a little unresponsive this morning so I’ll just mash it a few more times until it takes….

Many, especially the poor and lower classes either haven't received their W2's yet or haven't had enough money to get their taxes done. Either way, the guidelines for the stimulus checks hurt the poor the most.
