  • The issue is that anyone who looks objectively at the technology knows that AI / LLMs can’t replace knowledge workers in a large set of tasks, yet you see week after week… month after month the pattern

    • Some new company says going to replace x% of employees with AI…
    • X weeks / months later… said company reports the attempt was a failure and are having to hire people back

    It is as the thought of saving the money of firing all those people is too much to resist for “top management”.

    You would think after the first batch of companies go through the same, other companies would learn, yet I just keep seeing the same happen again and again.

    There is also the potential backslash. Specially if “management” is dumb enough to try and present firing hundreds / thousands of people like a a good thing… for example Duolingo’s case






  • I use it to track everything…

    Quick notes knowledgebase Follow up (personal and work)

    The great thing about Obsidian is how flexible it is. The bad thing about Obsidian is how flexible it is… 😀

    I have seen may people comment, or outright leave, Obsidian because because there was too much to learn… or too many plugins to explore…

    Personally, I only look for plugins if I need something specific. Don’t see the point of trying random plugins. Is like spending time finding solutions to a problem you may not have…

    Also, I work on tech and many documents are in markdown. Obsidian makes it easier to read those. Specially the collapse / expand functionality is really great for exploring large docs… as long as the creators properly used sections (basically # for level 1, ## for level 2…and so on)






  • I think we will need a few more lawsuits such as Apple has agreed to pay $95 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that its virtual assistant, Siri, recorded users’ conversations without their consent before this is no longer treated as confirmation bias or people been paranoid.

    My wife used to tell me that her adds would change after discussing something and at first I did not believe her, but it just kept happening again, and again. It reached the point that we would put our phones away, discuss something and there is no change in ads about the topic. If we had our phones near adds would change.This would happen on things that we would not see adds for normally. For example we would discuss a trip to a place we have never been and she would start seeing adds about the destination after that.
