Same post, English translation : What if AI wasn't just a buzzword, but a way to actually get some work done?

It's supposed to handle the tedious shit and make decisions faster so you can pretend you're still in charge while it scales whatever "impact" means this week.

I'm pushing a free e-book called "Becoming Frontier" that claims Microsoft 365 Copilot and AI agents are revolutionary. It's mostly just a manual for different departments, but they told me to say there's no fluff.

Leadership, Marketing, Sales, Finance, HR, IT, Legal, or Customer Service.

          Have just seen a post on saying that someone can see people they’ve blocked making it unsafe for them.

          I checked my block list, and sure enough, even though it says the people are blocked, I can still see them.

          This is not good.
          There’s one from the community who publicly bullied and tried to affect my reputation who I needed to block to feel safe on the platform - and if blocking is no longer working, well… and it doesn’t help that this person is seen as a champion for the community, and yet behind doors…

          And yes, I know LinkedIn is a hell hole.

                    Not because educators don’t try. Not because great teachers don’t exist. But because the most common two ways is used is (1) to assess you, and (2) to punish you.

                    You write to convey you’ve got the answers memorized, or you understand grammar rules, or you can properly reply to questions and prompts enough to get the good grade.

                          Una de las varias cosas que no me agrada en (que todavía sigo usando aunque poco, pero en cualquier momento me bajo de ahí) son las publicaciones de quienes comparten: "Hice un laboratorio de X tecnología integrada con Y y Z, y aprendí esto y aquello", acompañadas a lo mucho por un diagrama, pero sin compartir ni una pizca de documentación o el conocimiento técnico real detrás del logro.

                          Al final, el post termina siendo solo una vitrina para mostrarse, pero no aporta nada tangible a la comunidad. Entiendo el valor de construir una marca personal, pero la verdadera autoridad técnica no se demuestra enseñando solo el resultado final, sino abriendo la caja negra y compartiendo el proceso.

                          Si no hay un repositorio, un paso a paso o una explicación de los retos superados, la publicación se queda en simple "ruido" visual. Ojala toda esa gente compartiera más documentación, que es lo que realmente nos hace crecer a todos.

                                I try to disable all the notifications that aren't directly relevant to me, but they keep inventing new kinds of notifications that I have to opt out of! So annoying.

                                Trying to do that this morning, I see they have "simplified and regrouped" their notification settings, which is hilarious, because they're showing me a list of 14 top-level notification categories, each with its own tree of sub-categories beneath it. There must be a few dozen different categories of notification, each with multiple options within.

                                I think I found the one I needed to turn off? I have no idea. This is actively hostile UX.

                                                  Don't get the blue checkmark on . Would be nice to bail out altogether but the job market is pretty sketchy and I don't wanna lose those connections. But the blue checkmark is some dystopian shit. Thanks to @Ivovanwilligen for passing this along. thelocalstack.eu/posts/linkedi

                                                        I tried logging in. 2FA with email. OK. That worked. THEN 2FA with providing a phone number. NOT OK. But I use the service sometimes and I have a google voice number that isn't my actual cell number so... OK.

                                                        Then this shit. No opt-out anywhere.

                                                        Nope.

                                                        I wish I could ditch , too, but I'll probably be looking for another job for a while, so... ugh.

I have no idea where that number came from but it certainly isn't mine. Looking at the help it is clear there is an issue with some android users.. but was trying to log in on laptop. Help eventually leads you to a page asking you upload some sort of government ID to prove you are who you say you are. Any thoughts? Is this tech issues their end, a data breach or Microsoft blatantly trying to get even more info on us than they already have? linkedin.com/help/linkedin/ans

I basically assume that every multi-paragraph LinkedIn post by people with fewer than 10,000 tweets or without a demonstrated record of publishing text pre-2020 has been largely written with the significant assistance of Al.

Several fell for the scam and lost thousands in gift cards.

There's a presupposition behind that, a worldview, that can't possibly fly. It's sometimes called the theory-free ideal: given enough data, we don't need theory to understand the world. It surfaces in AI/LLM/programming rhetoric in the form that we don't need to code anymore because LLM's can do most of it. Programming is a form of theory-building (and understanding), while LLMs are vast fuzzy data store and retrieval systems, so the theory-free ideal dictates the latter can/should replace the former. But it only takes a moment's reflection to see that nothing, let alone programming, can be theory-free; it's a kind of "view from nowhere" way of thinking, an attempt to resurrect Laplace's demon that ignores everything we've learned in the >200 years since Laplace forwarded that idea. In that respect it's a (neo)reactionary viewpoint, and it's maybe not a coincidence that people with neoreactionary politics tend to hold it. Anyone who needs a more formal argument can read Mel Andrews's The Immortal Science of ML: Machine Learning & the Theory-Free Ideal, or Byung-Chul Han's Psychopolitics (which argues, among other things, that this is a nihilistic).

                                                                                                The answer: more than you might think!

                                                                                                In ELT, I’ve spent years helping learners of all levels understand complex ideas, in language that’s clear, inclusive and culturally sensitive.

                                                                                                Those same skills are exactly what non-profits need to communicate effectively with donors, volunteers, communities and stakeholders.

                                                                                                Here’s what my ELT experience brings to non-profit editing:
                                                                                                Clarity: Making complex information accessible to diverse audiences
                                                                                                Inclusive language: Representing intersectional identities, particularly LGBTQIA+ communities
                                                                                                Audience focus: Understanding who you’re speaking to and tailoring tone and content accordingly
                                                                                                Ethics and empathy: Crafting content that is responsible, respectful and impactful

                                                                                                In short, helping English learners navigate the world equips me to help non-profits communicate their mission clearly and inclusively.

                                                                                                If your charity or NGO wants materials or texts that are polished, accessible and reflective of your values, I’d love to collaborate.

If not, then no.

Just as I think it is morally incumbent upon Americans to speak up against the fascist shit Trump and his administration are doing, I think it is morally incumbent upon Israelis to speak up against the fascist shit their government is doing.

I've spoken out publicly about both. How about you?

One reason I do this is to keep an eye on the changing form of the booster rhetoric. Nowadays a lot of folks respond to critique with some form of "today's LLMs are bad but tomorrow's will be amazing", the true believer/quasi-religious response with a touch of false humility for flavor. Yesterday I got a "AI critics are just as bad as AI boosters" false dichotomy, which by my read was a variant of the "AI critics are hysterical and irrational" with the twist that the speaker was suggesting that boosters are too. That felt new-ish to me. Granted, the hubristic "we're the smart guys in the room, you should do what we say" framing is ancient in the tech industry. Suggesting the boosters are also not the smart guys in the room is an interesting move because it's an attempt to go meta. Neither the boosters nor the critics are the smart guys in the room; the smart guys in the room are actually the ones who can see that (and so you should do what they say, which is more LLMs always).

I spent a few minutes from time to time stringing one along, out of curiosity. One way I know it's a bot is that no human recruiter would stick with me for that long a duration given the nonsense I was entering. Anyway, at one point it emitted that there was a job it was "recruiting" for, titled "Generative AI & LLM Remediation Consultant | United States (Remote/Onsite)" at a company named "Independent Consultant (Contract Role)". It's fairly clear to me that the bot was tasked with constructing fake job listings based off information people share. I can only guess what its actual purpose is.

They seemed to think it was OK to insult people who had a different opinion about a certain notorious person's controversial arm gesture. I've blocked a few people on the fediverse recently for similar reasons, or for being so drunk on anti-DEI they were impervious to reason. I imagine we'll be seeing more of this.

                                                                                                                                                    I'm far from a civility advocate, and think we need to have challenging and uncomfortable conversations sometimes. But this knee-jerk culture war stuff is thought-terminating, which is the last thing we need right now.

The increase could be as much as 33%.

                                                                                                                                                      Apparently, if you get a message about this price increase and then cancel your subscription, you're magically offered the option to subscribe to "Office 365 Classic", which is the same price and doesn't have the AI features.

                                                                                                                                                      I don't pay for an Office 365 subscription so I can't verify if this works, but frankly if I did I'd cancel it right now as a way to get rid of the AI. I'm sharing in case it helps anyone, and I'd love to hear if anyone tries this and if it works.

That form eventually asks for a bunch of personal information like you're address but you can omit that.

They are especially bad about polluting their "products" with what amount to ads for their other products.

"Success" is a wholly inappropriate word to use.
