    “Also, find out whatever she’s into and add a reminder to my calendar to send her some of whatever it is on her birthday whenever that is. It’s a ‘she’, right?”

    Wtf is a girlboss? Sounds incredibly sexist and condescending. She just better wear something cute and not bump her head on that glass ceiling.

      2014-2018 it was used unironically to connotate women creating spaces for themselves in business - from a popular, well-meaning book of the same name

      2019 onwards it has been used sarcastically to reference performative, ineffectual feminism.

      You’d think she could at least use the term ‘woman’ to avoid coming across as a specialized dominatrix for people with an unfortunate brat fetish.

    Not smart just ruthless describes nearly every CEO. Uncaring and lacking empathy should be screened for from a early age. Those kids should be identified to everyone so you know to avoid their schemes and thus preventing the harm they cause. That this woman is unable to see her daughters talents and positive attributes is just in line with their missing piece of humanity.

    I remember when this lady built a nursery near her office but wouldn’t setup a daycare for yahoo staff or allow wfh.

    She took a lot of shit for that move. Kind of sad that she had every opportunity to connect with her kids and yet doesn’t know them at all.

    Instead of typing a prompt and getting a response, Dazzle has users snap a photo as the starting point and lets the agent point to what it thinks the next course of action should be. “Snap a picture of a purchase you’ve been thinking about, a flat tire, or fridge ingredients, and Dazzle buys on approval, schedules repairs, or suggests recipes,” the company says.

    Finally, what we really needed: ChatGPT for people too lazy to type a prompt

      About the stupidest Ai idea I’ve heard yet. Whose photo album is comprehensive and representative of their lives? Social media types take curated photos to send a specific message. The rest of us clutter it up with cat photos, images of items we don’t want to forget, memes, and photos from others thrust upon us by applications like Viber.

    if anything, it shows Mayer performing the exact kind of cognitive offloading that any AI tool worth its salt should free us up to focus on rather than doing for us.

    This has been the focus from the start, though. Almost all of the “killer apps” for AI that we’re being sold by the AI companies are about doing the creative stuff and human interaction for us. So we can spend more time being depressed, mindless worker drones, I guess?

      It’s really interesting thinking about what changed in tech and why all the leaders are like this. It used to be people developing and fitting technology to goals - mapping the world, enabling democratic power or niche hobby relationships - and that generally ended up being exciting and helpful.

      But at some point tech became captured by a few specific ideas and technology - SaaS, AI, data mining - and every CEO now tries to fit the goals to the technology. It no longer matters to these people what the benefit to the user is, they just work backwards from what the technology can do and rationalize whatever it is as the goal.

        When they stopped being run by engineers and all became ran by MBA’s.

        That’s not to say there aren’t MBA’s with engineering degrees etc but they didn’t actually build anything themselves. They sycophanted their way to these positions of power and they’ll never be able to bring the wonder and passion into tech because they have none. They have passion for business but if you get turned on by privacy policies scam story telling, who boy the world is your oyster right now.

        Now you could argue zuck was a founder engineer and he’s terrible as well. I’d say he’s a bad example at being anything.

        So there are exceptions. Sergey Brin is an example of an engineer that drifted but Larry was the brains. Just like woz to Steve, just like Bill to Balmer.

        Always two. One genius. One cheerleader. The cheerleader is always trapped by what is making them wealthy to parrot.

        Who is Sundar Puchai’s cheerleader? Prabhakar Raghavan? We are so far away from a Larry Page keeping an idiot like Sergey in line.

        Or Satya? A sub contracted Sam Altman maybe?

        There is no culture except the culture of business to these guys. Quiet strategic relationships, reduction of ego which means no risk, no research, no bravado, and no muscle for creating.
