They should try something incremental rather than target proverbial moon-shots first. That way the investments are less risky. Their egos seem to want showy shit ASAP, no wonder they get along with the tinted person.

Long held to be a bastion of 'old tech' linux advocates and crusty DOS command-line devotees, they were widely representative of the cutting edge of the golden age of desktops and still regarded highly for their knowledge of kernel lore and deep protocols fundamental to modern computing. Fading in relevance since its heyday of the 1990s and 2000s, conventional wisdom would still have suggested this should have been the last bastion to fall to the idea of letting LLMs "do the coding for you", but Slashdot admins, alert for commercial opportunities (on a site that remains relatively ad free), clearly have a different opinion. "Our users need to understand what an opportunity this was for us" they are imagined to have said, "there's a TON of cash sloshing around the gigantic shamconomy of OpenAI, NVidia, and ChatGPT — why can't some of it splash our way? As they say: 'carpe pecuniam'!."

Most HR personnel are women, and some might assert this is the problem, they are the vanguard of the overwhelming feminization of workplaces.

"...Everything you think of as âoewokenessâ is simply an epiphenomenon of demographic feminization.
The explanatory power of this simple thesis was incredible. It really did unlock the secrets of the era we are living in. Wokeness is not a new ideology, an outgrowth of Marxism, or a result of post-Obama disillusionment. It is simply feminine patterns of behavior applied to institutions where women were few in number until recently.

"I invented everything wonderful! I even invented Al Gore, believe me! Radios and TV's used to have big glass tits and wankers that glowed orange, such a wonderful color, but they were big and heavy, like Rosie O'Donnell, so nobody wanted them.
So I got one of my bone spurs med tablets, soaked it in Diet Coke for 3 days, stuck wires into it, and it became the very first Trans Sister. I hated that woke name so called it Capacitor instead, and even made it flux.

It's important, they say, to write with clear structure, to announce your intentions, and especially to include as many formatted sections and headings as you can. In other words, to get ChatGPT to pay attention, you must write more like ChatGPT.
