Damn, I thought nobody could identify me with that big bear head.

That sucks you gave up. I have been looking for a good local administration twitter for years.

Absolutely not a cannibal!
A wily predator, rather. Indeed.

Nope, I have to thank Nature for it.

I’m just following corporate panic as my news source. And the administration just chickened out. Took a full 24h.

AI-Generated “Workslop” Is Destroying Productivity
Despite a surge in generative AI use across workplaces, most companies are seeing little measurable ROI. One possible reason is because AI tools are being used to produce “workslop”—content that appears polished but lacks real substance, offloading cognitive labor onto coworkers. Research from...
Kinda interesting. I use AI all the time and, in the right context, it’s an incredible productivity boost. But the article divides users into two camps and it’s one camp that seems to be producing most of the slop.

Interesting. I also produce workslop that appears polished but lacks real substance. Especially here.

One or two in here use AI to make their posts seem intelligent and well researched, “full of fact,” I dare say, but as it is your first 24 hours back, I won’t mention any names.

Using AI to pull up sources is way more efficient than a google search and it’s way easier to use it to verify information across all sources and/or search thru published studies.
Very different use-case than producing slop content.

@A-Former-User said in The OFFICIAL tech stuff thread:
For all of our modern tech wonders, there’s one thing I’m finding to be a PITA nearly every day recently and that is using my bluetooth headset with multiple devices (i.e., my phone, laptop, TV, Switch). I’ll go sit in the lounge and want to watch something on the TV or play some Switch without disturbing anyone else and invariably I’ll find that my headset won’t connect because it’s still connected to a different device. Then I have to schlep my lazy ass into the office like a 15th century peasant to disable the connection on my laptop and go back to the lounge and try again. It happens at least daily.
I don’t know how you’d fix it but I’m kind of shocked it’s this much of a PITA. I can’t imagine Apple users being able to cope with something so complicated so I’m wondering how Apple devices handle it?
Funnily enough I found the solution to the above only last week. Once again frustrated by it, I couldn’t believe that there wasn’t a solution for it despite Gemini telling me at the time I posted the above that I’d just have to train myself to disable bluetooth or unpair the headphones when I was finished using it on each device.
Like some sort of tech autist, on a hunch I tried holding down the power on button for several seconds after the headphones told me “power on” and, sure enough I was rewarded with a follow up “pairing” message which meant that the headphones had been unpaired from any connected device and I could then go ahead and pair them to my phone or laptop without going hunting for the other device.
