Start your own “musings” community and have as much fun as you like.


Build a website on your preferred platform, you’re already using WP.
Create a static version of it. There’s plugins for exactly that purpose.
Put the static files on a web host, I use s3, but you can use whichever you prefer.
When you update the site on WP, run the static extraction again and update your actual site.


I’ll add it to the list:


Right until your PostgreSQL server goes down and you can’t call your IT department and have to start hunting for a contractor, find a budget, get it signed off by management and HR, then on-board the new staff member, that is, after you advertised the position, did job interviews, after first filtering through the 700 … or two, applications, each plausibly generated by a ChatGPT session. Give it something like six months in a big organisation, less in a nimble one.
Does an “entrenched” anything sound “nimble” to you?
Have you told her this, just like you have here?


What you’re describing is a general experience with LLM, not limited to the C-level.
If an LLM sprouts rubbish you detect it because you have external knowledge, in other words, you’re the subject matter expert.
What makes you think that those same errors are not happening at the same rate outside your direct personal sphere of knowledge?
Now consider what this means for the people around you, including the C-level.
Repeat after me, AI is Assumed Intelligence and should not be considered anything more than autocorrect on steroids.


And that right there is why Windows is so entrenched.
If you want this for real, adoption of open source, then treat it properly. Consider the business impact of your absence, document the systems, train others, otherwise this is just another timebomb waiting to go off and with it any hope of weakening the Microsoft stranglehold on the company and its C-suite.
I’ve lost count of the number of such “projects” I’ve encountered in my professional career.
This is not doing anyone any favours, least of all yourself.


Given the “deeply entrenched windows” in the company, together with a presumably similarly equipped ICT department, how are you protecting your department and the company against your absence?
In other words, what happens if you get hit by a bus?


Depends on the purpose.
Signal for private conversation.
Mastodon for my hobby.
Lemmy and Bluesky for participation in the world.


That makes no sense.
You can create a Lemmy or Mastodon account in moments with nothing more than a web browser.
Is that the entire fediverse, no.
Is Facebook one thing, also no.


Your restrictions on excluding the fediverse are nonsensical.
Well, unless it came back in the last 25 minutes, it’s working fine in Western Australia.


I’m guessing that the answer to that is … as soon as openai collapses … hopefully.


The article explains precisely what it is and why … it’s even written in English.


What is your budget?
What size do you want?
What screen resolution?
Which GPU?
And if you want warranty, which country are you in?
In my experience, as little as possible.
The more you pack into it, the more you carry around, the higher the risk if it’s lost, or worse, stolen, not to mention the more it affects wear and tear on your clothing.
Less is more!
