Kevin BeaumontGoing all in with GenAI, the case study.
In fairness, with GenAI you can accelerate things - eg the business directly into a wall.
A thing being repeated across businesses worldwide, including at Microsoft, is C level execs struggling to know why most staff aren’t using Copilot for M365, despite how much it costs.
Because most staff don’t spend all day in Teams meetings reading out PowerPoint slides to people who pretend to care. They have actual jobs. Doing work. Which they know how to do. Because it is their job.

it is so tiring trying to convince the C suite that it's good, actually, for security practitioners to know how to use the computer and want to learn more and get better

⠠⠵ avukoGenAI is a plausible bullshit generator. If it can replace your work, guess what your work always was?
I'll wait... I know the cognitive damage genAI use causes.
I feel I have to add this is solidly targeted at high payed bullshitters.
I have full compassion for people doing menial bullshit work.
We all know we should just go for UBI and move away from the "earn a living" horror, but that would inconvenience our Neo-feudal overlords, so good for you for just phoning it in.
TheSnoopySnoop@GossiTheDog Nicely put. I actually find Copilot distracting and use other means to analyse etc but it is most annoying while using Outlook in particular
TheBusCunts™@TheSnoopySnoop @GossiTheDog “in 300-500 words, tell me stuff about something. Make the heading bold, but also succinct, and use a natural tone, but kinda off beat in a kinda wanky way, you know? Also make it so that if it was dark it would be Tuesday, bur otherwise it’s September, and you should also cut it down to 50 words. And don’t misspell “colour” or “neighbour. Ta.”
FUCK. OFF.
FUCK. OFF.
@mudge @GossiTheDog Well a bit harsh but nicely put all the same. Deep breaths now….
@TheSnoopySnoop I’m not a fan 😂
@mudge Seriously? Would never have guessed 🤭🫣🤣
@TheSnoopySnoop I don’t know what management level reporting is available, but imagine you ask it stuff like “I’m going to a meeting about x, can you give me some relevant questions to ask?”
If Management can see what you’re using it for, what stops them going “wait, we pay that guy £40k and he asks Copilot what questions to ask? An intern could do that on minimum wage!” Guess who wins there?
Cap Ybarra@GossiTheDog which they *formerly* knew how to do, until they got their brains melted
Otte Homan - remember Geordie@GossiTheDog I feel there's an excellent meme un here somewhere: C suite corporate execs on a Cloud 9nthing staring at PPTX crud thrown at a display full of remote avatars with a copilot driving the cloud into a hellish thunderstorm, or something like that. With actual workers out in the pissing rain with both feet on the ground.
Martijn Frazer@GossiTheDog Turns out going fast without knowing where you're going isn't a good idea after all
The Orange Theme@GossiTheDog "Someone who is good at business please help, my company is dying."
Brandon@GossiTheDog The same could literally be said about all technology.
Quixoticgeek@GossiTheDog This is the sort of news best described with german loan words...

@GossiTheDog See, this just means they need more AI. I'm told that if AI doesn't work, it's a personal moral failure, and you just didn't use it enough or believe in it enough.

fuzzyfuzzyfungus@GossiTheDog When Nadella said "We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication." I doubt he had the argument being settled by market forces in this direction.
Too bad the 10+ custom agents he claims to use in his daily routine weren't there to warn him.
Willi@GossiTheDog HODL (:
thriftwicker@GossiTheDog FUCK. YES. A well earned collapse!
fraca7@GossiTheDog Just one more data center bro
Flipper 🐬🏳️🌈@GossiTheDog chart looks pretty good if you flip it the other way up
Peter Vollebregt@GossiTheDog Wait until the market realizes that AI burns energy, and that is going to be very expensive in the future.
tootbrute@GossiTheDog 10x faster with AI haha
Netraven@GossiTheDog the people are still convinced it's going up. Somehow.
Colorblind Cowboy@GossiTheDog THIS is who gets hurt when you heartless people call it “slop.”
lem@GossiTheDog actively praying for their downfall
Deborah Preuss, pcc 🇨🇦@GossiTheDog @rayckeith linux for the masses!
@GossiTheDog love it if my boss would get this case study.
NA@GossiTheDog I had so many memes stored up for this moment. I am going to enjoy rationing them out over the next few months. To wet your pallet, here's an older meme that still checks out.
