Sprouts wants $30(!!!) for an EMPTY plastic 5-gal bottle, which is insanity. <br/><br/>I think I found a solution? Home Depot does exchanges: Get a full jug for $8, + an empty. I imagine the refill factoy has lids. Plus I found an oooold bottle in the basement I could pawn off on them.

I guess she uses it for work stuff and somehow it latched onto our invite, too. <br/><br/>I asked for a copy of the notes and it was mostly just a transcript. Nothing too exciting. <br/><br/>I dumped it into ChatGPT and after THREE refreshes (first three were garbage and had nothing to do with the meeting) I got mostly OK notes I could use as a starting point. <br/><br/>OK, fine... I see limited utility here. <br/><br/>#AI #AIshit #LLM #CorpLife 2025-03-19T17:12:54Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8gch3t0serr7mxrqjv2wwkn69v4eje6kszqy3ngpgtlj5tzva6gqzyp9wnvq5sgfxu2ms4wcnktl5wg0zxt9aflgt27r3d0zw82vy37ywwgdrzz2 I just hosted a zoom meeting and someone sent an AI note taker to join in their place. That’s one of a few use cases where I think AI could be pretty handy. <br/><br/>…Assuming there aren’t massive privacy/security issues (voice printing etc) which I imagine there are. Or will be. <br/><br/>In any case I imagine we’ll all be seeing more of this. It was my first. <br/><br/>#AI #AIshit 2025-03-19T01:00:30Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgvyycydwegz67lhlcf8hfy6wgascedvav5pmwskd0rwvqys50j3gzyp9wnvq5sgfxu2ms4wcnktl5wg0zxt9aflgt27r3d0zw82vy37ywwhyntrz My job released an &#34;AI assistant&#34; to the workforce. &#34;Use this to save time and make your job easier! But also, be sure to verify all information you get from it.&#34;<br/><br/>Sooo... How is this supposed to make my job easier? I spend 10 seconds interacting with the stupid thing, and then the same amount of time I would have without it by looking it up on my own to verify. By my calculation, I&#39;m 10 seconds in the hole. <br/><br/>Unless you don&#39;t really want me to verify the info.

Remember when 5G was supposed to be a “quantum leap” forward? How it would have implications similar to the invention of electricity? <br/><br/>Well, we’re 5 years in by my count. And what I’ve seen is similar speeds with more limited range which is by design. The frequencies physically have less reach. <br/><br/>I’ve also not experienced any cell network stable enough to trust a doctor to perform “remote surgery via robot” yet, either. How dumb. <br/><br/>#AI #LLM #5G #AIshit #techbros 2025-03-15T20:32:11Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsypfyyakmpaj75jfrs43vnycswtpc6q2ydefw3e4ah9lhtdgwsmvgzyp9wnvq5sgfxu2ms4wcnktl5wg0zxt9aflgt27r3d0zw82vy37ywwdjeaq6 <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqnfu08c57v4dh5ghx4y2fa0ag5u44lnftp4msgtqzxua4hel325zq9z00a9" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqnfu08c57v4dh5ghx4y2fa0ag5u44lnftp4msgtqzxua4hel325zq9z00a9</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…00a9</span>)</a></span> hi, following from Missouri, US.

Such a cool gadget. It’s like a UPS meets power wall meets solar setup minus the panels.
