#AI Further thoughts on AI use at work.
Using AI to generate presentation slides is being encouraged. I don't see the point, this is rarely the limiting step.
Doing your own stuff forces you to structure, think about content, the message you want to present and to whom and you know it because you wrote it. And then you pick language and illustrations that make it personal and "you"

Sussex seabed shows recovery five years after trawling ban. Five years after bottom trawling was banned across more than 300 km² of seabed off southern England, early signs of ecosystem recovery are emerging. Mussel beds are re-establishing, fish populations are increasing, and conditions are improving for kelp forests that had declined by 96%. Oceanographic

Imagine getting the brief to write some copy on a fucking bin bag and then smashing it out of the park like this. Sensational effort.

#AI Thoughts on AI use at work.
Some of those using AI are doing so to look for information. In many cases this is stuff for which there are internal reports, guidelines and databases. Either they are unaware of the extent of company internal resources or they find it hard to navigate. Company stuff is likely very specific to our own products and many problems they are trying to address have already been solved. A common trend to when internet search got good: it was easier than reading books.

#cycle another query. Does anyone have experience of disc brakes like the TRP Hy/RD?
I would like to upgrade my current cable discs for something that adjusts more easily to disc wear and stops more convincingly. Used to have BB5s which were ok with fresh adjustment and new pads but declined gradually. Current cheap (and cheerful?) only adjust with cable and again only really brake well freshly after adjustment.
Solution needs to work with drop handlebars. Currently on 2012 Tiagra I think

#cycling #cycle anyone any experience of using microshift? I have a Specialized tricross sport from 2012 which I still ride. It has had many replacements including both wheels. I am wondering about levers and perhaps derailers. It is 2x9 speed which looks out of style for Shimano group sets so wondered about alternatives which might also allow some lower range gears

Recently I read a post by some jackhole techbro who wants a default automatic feed algorithm here just like Big Social™.

Opening the door for AI bullshit is not even the worst part of this idea.

Folks, all of us here ARE the algorithm. Personal curation is a feature, not a bug.

We make Mastodon awesome by following people and boosting what we find meaningful, significant or just cool. That's how it works.

Let's keep making friends. Let's keep sharing. Let's keep Mastodon alive. Together. 💖
