Artificial Intelligence: How are you using it in everyday life?

The twisted up sheet to cover it is pretty comical

There is cause for concern, but to me it's more about 'management' thinking they have the smarts to use AI to create solutions. CEOs: that's a recipe for disaster. Instead, hire yourself one really good Systems Architect, fire one senior manager, and cut your programming staff in half, and then you'll see improvement in your bottom line.

AI told me that we would lose against TCU…

I tried that this morning. Not so much my bracket, but what characteristics the winning teams have had in the last 15 years. It mentioned some things like strong guards, good defense, and how 3 point shooting has become more important. Of course it couldn't tell me which teams were strong in these areas.

I knew it!!! That proves TJ is an AI cyberborg.

I ask AI about recycling specific items so I can do a better job.

In my old job I used to get called to figure out what went wrong on mainframe systems. Maybe AI could somehow scan through system logs and make that determination but I'm not sure how.

It most likely could. One of AI's biggest strengths is ingesting a LOT of data to find the nugget that matters.

You burned through 5,000 gallons of water and huge amounts of energy to recycle

Every time I use Ai to help me I feel better about the future. It makes up things and is just flat out wrong at times.

People can do that just fine

“I’ve been not making friends in various corners of Silicon Valley, including at Meta, saying that within three to five years, this [world models, not LLMs] will be the dominant model for AI architectures, and nobody in their right mind would use LLMs of the type that we have today,” the 65-year-old said last month at a symposium at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

How can you hate AI when it makes movies like this?

This is why I'd never trust it with anything important yet.

I'm currently using it to convert Selenium tests to Python. I knew nothing about Python, Playwright or Jenkins, so it's been a great help. I think it speeds up the learning curve, as the answers are specific to my framework. It can be annoying with its helpful suggestion. Having it do documentation is probably the best part.

I've seen a huge jump in the last two weeks. Someone at work showed me how he used Claude to create HTML tools for data analysis. In about 90 minutes, I created a dashboard that analyzes our sales data and puts it into a visual format that is easy to digest and highlights important gaps.

I know zero about any coding and have never done a lick of HTML.

Playwright mcp is where it's at (alongside Playwright code gen).

I've been using AI to hack stuff that I shouldn't have to hack. Like a BLE pulse oximeter. It's absolutely fascinating what it can do.

When you say hack a BLE pulse oximeter what do you mean?

Not the BLE or pulse oximeter parts. I’m familiar with both of those.

pairing was the first step, now reading files off of it... seems to be encrypted. Reverse engineering the opcodes. If you're offering to help I can loop you in on all of the fun

I asked Claude to answer to you... here's what he said:

"A Wellue pulse oximeter ring records SpO2 fine but only lets their Android app pull the files off. Spent the day reverse-engineering the BLE protocol — got every command working except the one that actually transfers data. Byte-perfect ATT writes vs the captured app traffic, ring sends a reply to theirs and silence to mine, all the obvious BLE divergences (CCCD, MTU, supervision timeout, link encryption) ruled out. Hunting for what's left."
