Made a video of what the hallucination looks like.

@sunablast @neet_sol Just get the doctorate bro its all you need bro

@neet_sol I've never found a job from LinkedIn. Are people just lying about it or do you need a doctorate degree to qualify?

@dave_tremaine @Rightanglenews Even the guy on the phone in the vid who stops scammers for a living, Jim Browning fell victim to a scam a year and a half ago where he lost his whole google account. No one is impervious

@titratedev @Rightanglenews I'll rest easy knowing that while I may be a target I am impervious to them because I am just not reachable by anyone except my IRL connections

@dave_tremaine @Rightanglenews Dev work, book publishing, interviews, investments, romance scams. Too many to list off.

@titratedev @Rightanglenews I don’t know anyone who would be in a video call they didn’t plan. I guess remote job interviews are the likely answer.

@dave_tremaine @Rightanglenews Several scams start like that. They can even send people to your home to scam you.

@Rightanglenews Have I been living under a rock? What kind of scam starts with a video call? I've never once used a video call that wasn't for work or medical reasons.

@AveryRowan2 @retro_anime Yes the classic version is great.

@retro_anime Never watched is it worth the watch?

Fist of the North Star (1984)

You're doing it wrong. Why use AI for one off emails or documents? Use ai to automate emails, automate your weekly status report. Build actual tools that make your workflow faster to expand your bandwidth. Build excel macros, web apps, cli tools, anything done on a computer can be improved.

My company rolled out AI tools 11 months ago. Since then, every task I do takes longer. I am not allowed to say this out loud. Not because there is a policy. There is no policy. There is something worse than a policy. There is enthusiasm. There is a Slack channel called #ai-wins where people post screenshots of AI outputs with captions like "this just saved me an hour." There is a VP who opens every all-hands with "the companies that adopt fastest win." There is a Director who renamed his team from Operations to Intelligent Operations. There is a peer review question that now asks: "How have you leveraged AI tools to enhance your workflow this quarter?" If the answer is "I haven't, because I was faster before," that is a career decision. So I leverage. Emails. Before the tools, I wrote emails. This took the amount of time it takes to write an email. I did not measure it. Nobody measured it. The email got written and sent and it was fine. Now I write the email. Then I highlight the text and click "Enhance with AI." The AI rewrites my email. It replaces "Can we meet Thursday?" with "I'd love to explore the possibility of finding a mutually convenient time to align on this." I read the rewrite. I delete the rewrite. I send my original email. This takes 4 minutes instead of 2. The 2 extra minutes are the enhancement. I do this 11 times a day. That is 22 minutes I spend each day rejecting improvements to sentences that were already finished. In #ai-wins I posted a screenshot of the rewrite. I did not post the part where I deleted it. 23 people reacted with the rocket emoji. That is adoption. Meetings. We have an AI notetaker in every meeting now. It joins automatically. It records. It transcribes. It summarizes. After each meeting I receive a 3-paragraph summary of the meeting I just attended. I read the summary. This takes 3 minutes. I was in the meeting. I know what happened. I am reading a machine's account of something I experienced firsthand. Sometimes the account is wrong. Last Tuesday it attributed a comment about Q3 revenue to me. My manager made that comment. I spent 4 minutes correcting the transcript. Before the notetaker, I did not spend 7 minutes after each meeting correcting a robot's memory of something I personally witnessed. I attend 11 meetings a week. That is 77 minutes per week supervising a transcription nobody requested. I mentioned this once. My manager said "think about the people who weren't in the meeting." The people who weren't in the meeting do not read the summaries. I checked. The read receipts show single-digit opens. The summaries exist not because they are useful but because they are there. I read them for the same reason. Documents. I write a weekly status update. Before the tools, this took 10 minutes. I typed what happened. I sent it. My manager skimmed it. The system worked. Now I open the AI writing assistant. I give it my bullet points. It produces a draft. The draft says "Significant progress was achieved across multiple workstreams." I did not achieve significant progress across multiple workstreams. I updated a spreadsheet and sent 4 emails. I rewrite the draft to say what actually happened. Then I run my rewrite through the grammar tool. It suggests I change "done" to "completed" and "next week" to "in the forthcoming period." I click Ignore 9 times. Then I send the version I would have written in 10 minutes. The process now takes 30. I have been doing this every week for 11 months. I have added 20 minutes to a task that did not need 20 more minutes. I call this efficiency. I have been calling it efficiency for 11 months. That is what efficiency means now. It means the additional time you spend to arrive at the same outcome through a longer process. Nobody has questioned this definition. I have not offered it for review. I kept a log once. 2 weeks. Every task, timed. Before-AI and after-AI. The after number was larger in every case. Every single one. Not by a little. The range was 40 to 200 percent. I deleted the log. I deleted it because it was a document that said, in plain numbers, that the AI tools make me slower. And a document like that has no place in a company where AI adoption is a strategic priority. I could not send it to my manager. He championed the rollout. I could not post it in #ai-wins. I could not raise it in a meeting because the notetaker would transcribe it and the summary would read "[Name] expressed concerns about AI tool efficacy" and that summary would be the first one anyone actually reads. So I do what everyone does. I use the tools. I spend the extra time. I post in #ai-wins. I write "leveraged AI to streamline weekly reporting" in my review and my manager gives me a 4 out of 5 for innovation. I have innovated nothing. I have added steps to processes that were already finished. I have made simple things longer and labeled the difference with words that used to mean something. Every week in #ai-wins someone posts a screenshot. And 20 people react with the rocket emoji. And nobody posts the part where they deleted the output and did the task themselves. Nobody posts the revert. Nobody posts the before-and-after timer. Nobody will. Because "I was better at my job before the AI tools" is a sentence that cannot be said out loud in any company that has decided AI is the future. Every company has decided AI is the future. So we leverage. Quietly. Adding steps. Calling them optimization. Getting slightly less done, slightly more slowly, with slightly more steps, and reporting it as progress. My yearly review is next month. There is a new section this year. "AI Impact Assessment." It asks me to quantify the hours saved by AI tools per week. I will write a number. The number will be positive. It will not be true. But the AI writing assistant will help me phrase it convincingly. That is the one thing it does well.

@neet_sol AI applicants only accelerate the total destruction of online apps. Which are already dead, but I think hiring wont even be done from them anymore unless theyre highly personalized and captcha protected. "Upload a tiktok about why you want work. hold up a paper w/ timestamp"

I deployed an AI botnet that's flooding the entire internet with job applications

@RileyRalmuto I was on board until she said payment processor, cloud storage, accounts... I can hear the Minecraft TNT in the distance.

slowly but surely, this is going to be the experience and expressed sentiment of virtually every human being with a shred of ambition. and they’ll all start waking up and we’re all going to be watching with popcorn. we’re still so early, chat. somehow.

@rewegreatyet @NandinoAI @unusual_whales Writer kills person with pen. Pens are bad for writing. Same thing.

@NandinoAI @unusual_whales Lawyers using AI are getting sanctioned because AI invents case law

@d4m1n Fake services, fake testimonies, fake business. It would be cheaper to hire some fiverr dev to put this together than entertain the ai gimmick.

so why not spawn 100000 of these in parallel and become a trillionaire James

@BartertownC @PolitiFlake @hernandezforny @ZohranKMamdani Build housing to reduce demand. Allow hostels, capsule hotels, etc to be built and used. Investigate non profit fraud etc.

@PolitiFlake @hernandezforny @ZohranKMamdani Like how ?

New York City says there’s no money, yet @ZohranKMamdani just signed a $1.86 BILLION no bid contract to house people in hotels. That’s about $330 per night per room, nearly $10,000 per month or $120,000 per year. Meanwhile taxes keep rising and services are cut. Many being housed have contributed little or nothing to New York’s tax base, yet taxpayers are footing the bill. When I am New York State Comptroller, I will audit every penny of these hotel shelter contracts. New Yorkers deserve answers. A real watchdog is coming.

@CAllen21345636 @TheRealStranded @charliesmirkley Administrative salaries. Non profit building improvements, its like a Somali day care except they claim to help the homeless.

@TheRealStranded @charliesmirkley NGOs? Politicians? Where or who did the 10s of billions go to?

NYC spends more per homeless person than the median NYC household earns. $81,705 per person in FY2025. And $81,705 is a floor. It excludes supportive housing (~$500M/yr), mental health response teams, and NYPD encampment costs. The city projects ~$97K per person in FY2026.

@AmazingZoltan @AGPamBondi Don's a youtuber dude. "Content creator" at best

At my direction, early this morning federal agents arrested Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy, in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. More details soon.

@goatpurple1 @kevinvdahlgren whoever this mentally ill lady is, she is obviously not housed under "housing first". She is not heard advocating for those policies. Kevin sure exposed her? Are these drug addicts in these videos the non profits that benefit from never "ending homelessness"?

@titratedev @kevinvdahlgren by telling truth is part of solution. The current approaches ("housing first" "hard production") make things worse.

We don’t have a homelessness crisis, we have an addiction and mental health crisis. In this video, the person I was talking about broke the fourth wall. What started as an observation turned into a real conversation, and in that moment the narrative changed. It stopped being about them and became about what’s actually driving this crisis.
