the thing is that AI is very good at confident bullshit, which becomes more a part of your job toward the top of the ladder
The disconnect between management and employee on AI usage is big. At the same time, CEOs are reporting they aren't seeing any revenue growth from AI.

CEOs Say AI Is Making Work More Efficient. Employees Tell a Different Story.
How much time workers say the technology saves them on the job is vastly different from what executives report.

Anyone would think that the FIFA Peace Prize isn’t worth every bit as much as the Nobel Peace Price. It’s a tad hurtful tbh.

Like a stopped clock PR companies are sometimes right. Also like a stopped clock, they need two AA batteries shoved up them and the knob twisted until their hands point in the right direction.

On this date in 1971 George Harrison released his 1st solo single "My Sweet Lord" in the UK. It topped the charts in 15 countries but is still not considered his best song as that is “The Pirate Song”
“‘The Pirate Song’ was written for the pirate sketch on the Rutland Weekend Television Christmas Show, [aired on Dec. 26] 1975. It was co-written (words and music) by Eric Idle and myself. […] All my friends are pirates.” - George Harrison, I Me Mine (1980)

If a Pakistani Muslim owned X, distributed indecent images of girls on a platform where govt do their PR, where some receive payments for posts, they would have distanced themselves by now. X would be shutdown and Braverman and Farage would be calling for a ban and investigation into Pakistani men.

Hard to believe that the government, led by a former DPP, doesn’t know this. Which would mean, if James is right, that the UK government is turning a blind eye to the production of child porn rather than risk upsetting Musk and the US government. And that would be an extraordinary scandal.
