Either that, or call them / walk up to their desk and pick a point from the wall of text and ask them to explain what they mean by it. Then watch them turn red as they have no idea what the message they sent to you means.
I tried this when my skip level boss sent us a wall of text from ChatGPT that didn’t make any sense. He didn’t care. He said it was “just an idea”. He likely spent all of 5 minutes on it, while we spent a collective 15 hours dealing with it, before finally going to him and calling it out.
He’s sent a couple more emails like that since. I don’t even bother to read them once I see the format.
Sure, some people have no self awareness. In that case you can change your approach, if you are a manager or otherwise invested in the company you can put pressure on them to increase the quality of their work and to own the things they submit. Bring up specific examples of poor quality work, errors in documents/messages, etc.
Or if you don't care you can just ignore this persons messages.
And that's the point where you can stop to hide your true opinion, no? "How am I supposed to review a thing the supposed author didn't even read or understand himself?"
I had someone submit a PR that was 3000 lines of shell scripts. Totally useless crap. I tried repeatedly asking him why he made particular choices and it was so painfully obvious that he had absolutely no idea and was just inventing bullshit answers. I would rather he have just said "I don't know, Claude added that", then tell obvious lies to my face.
This feels like a BOFH response but I'm strangely not opposed to it; If you generate something, you should own it ... regardless of what tool you used to generate it.
I've had a colleague call it out 'Is this AI slop? Please write your opinion'. I don't think I could do that myself, but I really appreciate that they were drawing attention to it
Management, responding to someone who takes your advice to "ignore it": "So we've noticed that there's this guy who is doing tons of work, and you have chosen to do no work?"
Communicate with your boss. "I'm ignoring this guy's slop because he's spewing slop, but not actually doing his job, and if I stop to deal with all of it, I won't be able to do my job".
Yes, "not actually doing his job". If he's sending you un-reviewed, un-filtered, untouched AI output, that's not doing his job.
Im glad OpenAI is publishing this sort of thing. This report is fascinating to read because it is so transparent - showing literal queries, images generated, etc. In the never ending, multifaceted tug of war (red/blue/anti-ai/anti-openai/anti-nuclear etc.) we have somehow lost sight of obvious facts like "its bad for foreign adversaries to operate influence campaigns." It's good for OpenAI to be transparent about this. It doesnt need a crazy conspiracy theory to explain it.
I think Americans in particular need to realize the discussion they are reading online is conducted by people that largely do not have America's best interests in mind - whether they just dont have a stake or they are actively working against it. This is not 2008 when Reddit was 80% Americans.
My point is not that we should all rally as a tribe or something. My point is Americans should stop assuming people engaging in discussion online are hoping America prospers. I single out the US because its a large part of the English speaking internet and used to be a majority group where this assumption was pretty fair. Online discussion spaces have become a lot more diverse over the past decade.
Time to start traveling, average walk amount per trip, total trip duration, coverage parity, etc.
I suspect you can get into a waymo quicker and with less walking than a subway, unless you live very close. I imagine total trip time is pretty variable. Coverage parity is hard to guess about - in theory a waymo can go anywhere but I suspect public transport has longer "tendrils."
For just the two daily BART trips that I do within SF, it would be $1200+/mo for Waymo/Uber/Lyft. So from that perspective perhaps the extra $30/mo for the small convenience of getting priority and being able to cancel a few rides could be seen as “cheap” by comparison.
If I include the walks of 30+ minutes and bus rides, it’s probably pushing $2k/mo in rideshare costs.
10% off is practically nothing and also irrelevant because it is the total cost of the trip that matters and they can easily increase that over time behind the scenes in a way that makes up for that 10% and then some once they determine the price elasticity of these premium customers which I imagine is quite higher.
I never really got into flow state from planning. Too much brain power, dead ends, etc. I reached flow state from the "busy work." Knowing what needed to be built and implementing it.
This sounds good except when you need to cross multiple files. I feel like a significant part of the value of AI is that it can just find things instantly instead of me having to navigate some menu or enter any commands. At least in my experience changing 1 thing requires traversing a large slice.
I guess to take it a step further you could just write everything in a single file with enough context to let the LLM figure out location but this is quite literally just a prompt.
That's over all categories. If A is cyber security and B is biology topics, then C is still zero, therefore finite. Anyway, I think you're reading too much into an offhand comment.
Sorry but that’s not the claim. The claim is wikipedia can return the same information. Please find me a migration script given my current db schema and new target schema.
> Together with the jobs numbers, it would be weird for an independent Fed to not raise rates.
Not really. They may believe the inflation is driven by supply shocks, not excess demand. For example, the oil blockade. Raising already restrictive rates wont increase the supply of oil.
They don't even need to be right. If they simply believe this is what's driving inflation, they could decline to raise rates without that necessarily indicating a lack of independence.
Personally I expect the FED not to be independent and to let inflation run a little hot while lowering rates to attack the debt from 2 angles. But even still, its not true that high CPI + not lowering rates = non-independent fed
Yeah it's been gamed for a long time. Did you know teh inflation metric can actually go down when staples it tracks goes up?
Yup.
If steak is tracked and it doubles in price, they can adjust the basket weights to reflect what they assume consumers will do: buy less beef and more chicken instead. So if Q1 steak=10 and Q2 steak=20 they might change the weights so that it's essential comparing Q1 steak to Q2 chicken. Which may be cheaper than Q1 steak, thus reducing inflation despite steak doubling in price.
That doesn't strike me as a problem. It models what consumers actually do. The consumers are still being fed and they're suffering only a minor loss in their preference.
They don't keep any kind of hedonic measure, which might be interesting. If a consumer would rather have steak, but switches to chicken when it's over $10/pound, and then switches to tofu when chicken hits $10/pound, they're considerably less happy even if they're reasonably well fed.
You could probably use that to calculate some kind of hedonic metric: "I was originally willing to pay only $1/lb for tofu because it brought me 20% of the pleasure that a $5 steak would have." But you're not 80% less happy overall, since food is only part of your total happiness, so you'd need a "basket" of happiness.
What? No. How in the world would that be an honest reflection of economic health?
Even in your ideal scenario, if they switch to chicken. Compare the old price and new price of the chicken.
Under your model, if people stop buying toilet paper, there's a 100% REDUCTION in the price of toilet paper in the model. The economy must be great! And, what, do we only want to care that food got more expensive the moment people are starving to death or eating pagpag to survive?
> Yeah it's been gamed for a long time. Did you know teh inflation metric can actually go down when staples it tracks goes up?
I mean, a horse buggy ride has significantly increased in price relative to the 19th century, but if it were tracked as part of a basket of goods, it absolutely makes sense to replace it with the equivalent automobile taxi.
