I have to be honest and also confess I cannot for the life of me figure out why they keep making appearances. Like, thank god, because we get clips like this. But why not just hole up? How do they benefit from this?

It’s so bizarre to me that this is a permissible response from an elected official, even if it’s obviously farce. How is “I haven’t heard anything about a major governmental decision” any better than “Oh yeah I’m actually all for that”?

Coming around to the fact that, especially when it comes to community, processes are built for about 90% of the cases, to buy you the space and patience for the remaining 10%--the moments when you need to give people grace and make exceptions.

Politico employee who chose the lighting and angle for this video: Welcome to the resistance

And now the team is using it as their internal communications tool, right??

…right?

I admire Coates so much because I know I’m not as intelligent as he is. I don’t mean this as self-flagellation. He’s just brilliant.

I often wonder if Klein can sense the same and needs the kind of message a lot of people want to hear because a large audience helps you avoid that truth.

Really makes you start to process "AI is inevitable" not as clever marketing but as a threat

CEOs are revolutionaries; who else could come up with such great ideas as “cut costs” and “raise prices”?

And hey, if this is the thing that packages the beauty of processes in a way that makes people appreciate them, okay! I’ll take that win!

The more I hear people break down how they use AI agents and how revolutionary they are, the more it sounds like what they actually needed were more scalable processes.

Looking forward to him capitulating because the CEOs promise to donate fifty cents to his presidential campaign for every dollar they give republicans

"please rate your package delivery" i mean ill click the smiley face because i assume it impacts the poor bastard who delivered it but i must impress upon you that forcing both him and i into this situation is an act of utter inhumanity and furthermore that god frowns upon your deeds

AI-Generated “Workslop” Is Destroying Productivity Despite a surge in generative AI use across workplaces, most companies are seeing little measurable ROI. One possible reason is because AI tools are being used to produce “workslop”—content that appea...

For our own individual processes (insofar as they exist), we follow them with discipline because they’re tailored to our preferences.

More often than not, the moment a team is involved, someone if not *everyone* is playing improvisational jazz with the process.

The people who build the processes want to believe in what they built, so they explain it to leaders as if everyone actually follows the process.

Leaders are far removed from the processes, so they only really see how it’s supposed to work, now how it actually works.

A practical reason the vision for AI adoption seems unserious is the collective overestimation of our processes.

You can tell an agent “Put X information into Y format and update Z tracker” but only if the information is documented, the format is consistent, and the tracker is up to date.

We have always been at war with Tylenol

People really be like “I’m an AI prompt expert” then type “please do not lie to me”

This feels a little like “pivot to video” in that I used to search something and get an article I could instantly control+f through for the information I want and now I need to wait as a disembodied voice stalls before it may or may not vaguely answer my question

I’d be very curious to know: How do these people define “immigrant”? What is an “immigrant” to them?

Is it someone who moves to another country? How is that different than what we might call an “expat”? Is it about doing it “legally”? So we should make that process easier, right?

This isn’t even a bias thing! A colleague doing great work makes other colleague’s lives easier. I’d be *thrilled* if it led to better or faster work.

The only thing that changed is their work got louder.

FWIW, I’ve worked with some colleagues who proudly and consistently post on LinkedIn about how they’re AI-powered and I noticed absolutely 0 change in their output. Did they produce things faster? Did they make better things? Nope. That’s the kind of thing you’d notice working closely with someone.

In Pam Bondi's America bakers may refuse to make cakes for gay or trans people, medical pros may refuse to provide women with complete healthcare, military personnel may refuse vaccination orders—all for "religous" or "conscience" reasons—but an Office Depot employee may not refuse to print a flyer.

This weekend I had this thought:

I really don’t care about bipartisanship.

“Bipartisanship” is like a restaurant telling me how they’re going to prepare my meal. Don’t care! Just bring out what I ordered please!

Don’t worry, we will make that decision in a time, place, and manner of our choosing. But the response will be continuous and it will meet the moment that is required.
