If I use it to, say, code in Python, it'll be OK. Python doesn't change much, and there's tons of resources for it online.
If I use it for anything Microsoft-related in the past 2 years, it's dogshit because so much info on it is outdated (since MS changes shit every 3-6 months now).

The other side of the coin: the moment you use it for real knowledge, it falls apart quickly. It can be OK for some things, but there's specific parameters where it fails:
- it doesn't know what a fact is
- anything newer or anything that changes a lot, it uses old info too often

I could go on and on, but the overarching trend is that people closer to the top of an organization benefit more, because some of the things LLMs do well (summarization, recapping, 1st-drafting, etc) are things managers-and-up care about more.

Summarizing meetings, combining with surrounding notes and maybe pulling from various related files? Pretty decent! People with packed meeting schedules benefit from this.
Managers, CXOs, VPs, project managers love this. Call center people don't care at all. Some variance.

Copilot cobbling together a first-draft Powerpoint from assorted data? Pretty decent! Who is this valuable to? People who do many Powerpoints. How many people is that in a business? Some, not many.
HR people love this. Engineers don't care at all. High variance.

There's heavy rumor of a small facility getting spun up down the street from a local mall where I live, the protests haven't started yet but they're being planned and we have reps from town council all the way up to US Rep doing what they can
This is all horror but we are going to fucking win

In the Bulls’ defense, it’s critical to go get that 10 seed, so jerking around Noa or benching Buzelis for defensive lapses is part of that effort
(There’s no defense, I hate my team)

53/82: vsDEN. Denver is a great team, but man this Bulls team won't be able to defend anyone. They can score though. I feel this 136-120 is going to be a common kind of final score the rest of the way. Also: Jokic is good.

Jesus. As a Bulls fan: that might be the fastest I've seen him turn and move in years.
Not sure if that's a compliment to the Celtics or an insult to the Bulls.
(It's both.)
