the company i work for which is 90% white collar office workers and 10% blue collar workers keeps trying to get us to use Copilot. as one of the blue collar workers, it has very limited use. like someone else said, it can be used basically as an advanced search engine, but even the results for say, the specs of an old piece of equipment and how to repair are suspect.

when I am very bored at work I try and quiz it or think of ways to make it more useful to my job to save time, but all the suggestions it gives basically involve pointless entry of data that is basically just busywork in my eyes with little payoff. it doesn’t even seem to be able to properly analyze emails, which I thought perhaps it would be useful to summarize a few months of emails and point out the most important points, but it cannot seem to do this for the life of me, and continually suggests ways that do not work, or are a ton of literally copying the text of all emails and putting them into a document or something like that.

i do not see ai or robotics being able to replace my job within my lifetime

can it actually pull info from emails? everytime i try to do that it totally fails, hallucinates, or suggests i try something that it actually can’t do. the most it can seem to do is a sum a single email or thread, and the amount of time it takes to do that i could just read the thread myself…

sort of. commercial building operator.

entering a home or commercial/retail building and noticing everything that needs to be fixed or maintained, listening for running water around fixtures, etc.

this is a clear sign to start a union. if you’re in a union, speak to a rep about discrimination

lmao just eat real mexican/texmex food

this isn’t new, this has been hypothesized for many years now

damn i kinda wanna cop

Yes, except maybe some from Die Linke.

lmfao you americans are ignorant of your own history. do you honestly think ICE disappeared when Biden was in power? no it’s because people like Harris and their bootlickers like you were fine with it when the Top Cop was doing it, they were deporting in record numbers. i guess the black sites also disappeared too, right? typical american arrogance unable to see beyond party affiliation, they are all the same demon to us non-americans, the dems are just better at hiding it. you are the right winger_

https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2025/03/16/north-korea-bitcoin-holdings-top-el-salvador-bhutan-after-bybit-hack/ basically, DPRK hackers constantly steal bitcoin from insecure exchanges or whatever. This helps them get around the genocidal sanctions the west places on them. It isn’t disclosed what they use the funds for, but likely in trade with Russia and/or China.

My views on it are the same as the DPRK. A tool used by capitalists that can help fight against capitalism.

everything is still normal up here in canada lol

It would seem so, it is predicated on a ceasefire.

AI is just another tool, like email. The biggest problem with AI is the people using it, whether it’s burning tons of greenhouse gases for huge datacentres or relying on them for important tasks that should be left to humans. Deepseek sort of combats the first issue, and one would hope China is smart enough to use it to serve the people and not profit. I really like Ed Zitron and his podcast and have been listening for awhile, his criticism of OpenAI and other Web3 nonsense has been ahead of the curve.

lol typical crackkker reply stfu, we very tiyad of u dorks speaking ill of the DPRK there are no bots here

this is the stupidest thing i’ve ever seen

lib parrot comment
