If there's no algorithm, there's no algorithm to game, and a lot of this awful goes away. See posts from those I choose to follow. Period

On Twitter, click on the tab that says "Following." Never click on the tab that says "For You." It's not for you, it's for advertisers.

Then you will only see things from people you follow.

You don't need to hire a prompt engineer. Just ask ChatGPT to write prompts for Copilot. If you run into trouble just ask Claude to clarify.

I have a Perl script that chains 17 different AI Agents together. It takes the output from one and puts it into the output of the other. At the suggestion of my psychologist (Abby), I combined the output of some of the agents together in a tree. Now it all flows together in and out like a mysterious river. Fortunately I'm paid in LOC. I doublespace.

So, why did your productivity, creativity and cooperative solutioning all suffer during COVID? Did you fail to provide good communication tools to your team? Did you not use Slack or IRC? Did you fail to have appropriate team building meetings? Did you not assign tasks properly? What were you doing (or not doing) that caused problems?

Because frankly, your post sounds like bullshit.

Productivity isn't the goal. Productivity matters in cutthroat industries where price is the only differentiator.

For most companies, the goal of effective middle management is to get promoted, and backstab your coworkers. You do that by making your underlings less efficient so you can hire more of them.

"In-person collaboration is absolutely vital to building and strengthening our culture and driving the success of our business. Being together helps us innovate, solve problems, share ideas, create, challenge one another, and build the relationships that will make this company great."

They've been fine working from home since COVID, for years, and now somehow it's absolutely vital?

If you're going to use such transparent lies, you're better off using ChatGPT. The output will be more coherent.

I imagine that the first question after installing Linux would be "Now how do I sync albums that I bought on the band's Bandcamp page onto my iPhone?" As far as I'm aware:

- iTunes for Windows uses the Apple Mobile Device Service driver to sync over a USB cable, and drivers don't run in Wine.
- libimobiledevice on Linux can write files to an iPhone but not the music database that the included Music app uses.
- Though the VLC app can play music from files, nothing but the included Music app can make playlists containing both purchased music and rented music from the roommate's Apple Music family plan. Not all bands are with a label that's on Apple Music.

I left Windows on her laptop and turned off S Mode.

I asked ChatGPT: "Explain how the headline matches the summary"

ChatGPT: "The headline directly reflects the main finding of the summary...the headline captures the key point: AI adoption at big firms is falling, while the summary expands on the data, timeframe, and broader context. Would you like me to also point out why the headline doesn’t mention the increase among smaller firms?"

It didn't catch the difference between use and adoption.
