Holy shit that's nuts! I would have loved to hear the locals talk about that guy's proposal if I knew about it when we were there.

They interviewed the former owner of the hotel we stayed at too. Good shit.

I think AI will be a useful tool going forward. I also think people always predict new technologies will eliminate the need for jobs in the future and that never seems to come true.

In fact they usually predict that jobs like software developer and data scientist are the ones most threatened by AI when those are the people who are already best suited to utilizing AI to be more productive. (I know tech hiring sucks right now but that's different from saying we won't need techies ever again.)

btw Microsoft Copilot is just Chat GPT embedded in Mirosoft products. It's not like this is just MS being idiots.

We saw a bunch of ethnically Indian folks on Nevis. Met one who was maybe the best code switcher ever. He walked up to my and started talking like he was from a suburb of Dallas or something. PERFECT American accented English, then a second later is rattling off Nevisian patois. Funny shit. He could go viral as hell on Tiktok i bet.

Every headline from an interview with a big Tech exec is like: People need to just get used to the fact that AI is going to take everyone's job within 6 months.

Me trying to make this Exec Summary slide in this deck go a little faster: Ok maybe they're right. Maybe Copilot in Powerpoint will be able to analyze all my slides and spit out a perfect little summary slide w good analysis.

Copilot completely shits the bed. Bullet points make zero sense. Also it won't even let me paste them into the actual slide even if they were good.

Yeah I don't think we need to worry about AI taking our jobs quite yet.

Calling a rich person "pampered."

Not so much these days.

Also we never talk about "the ____ set" anymore with rich people. The Hamptons set. The polo set. The country club set. No more sets.

Mazda Mitch appears to live in deep backwoods Mississippi and has apparently devoted his life to old Mazda B2000 pickups from the 80s.

As a society we can't afford to lose his knowledge of Weber carburetors lol. We must protect Mazda Mitch at all costs.
