I had to sit through this cyber security video. Great, AI is being used by the overseas scammers to clean up their emails, so they are actually proper English and sentences, etc. No more "Have a day good"

Essentially this was a judges concern that Zuck and company were using AI to identify jurors. We are in the era were only the top dogs have privacy and bodyguards and the rest of us do not, not even jurors.
Not that she doesn't deserve recognition, but c'mon man. Audi on cover of Time and the article on her was written by Wayne Gretzky?
See, now this is clearly not AI . . . . . . last paragraph: Tamin Lipsey is one of the most resilient and selfless players college football has ever seen. 
OK, I've been using AI for the last week in a way I never thought I would use AI.
This happened while I was snowblowing a couple of weeks ago. What's crazy is that if I hadn't been out snowblowing, I doubt I would have even noticed.
BTW-FBI not ICE
Gemini has been very aggressive in trying to figure this all out.
Grok and ChatGPT are basically saying "I cannot find any public record whatsoever supporting what Gemini told you — and the details it provided raise multiple red flags."
Now it looks like Gemini was correct after a lot of prompting.

Sorry, to help me figure out why the FBI was taking away my neighbor in handcuffs. Something that wasn't in the local news and still isn't.
This AI crap is getting sick. Here they know I am an Iowa State fan and try to link Dom Ponder passing to ISU to try and get me to click on it. If you don't know, Dom Ponder was the backup QB at Colorado who was just killed in a car crash.

I know this thread bounces from big picture AI to convenient uses for now, but I had one the other day that I really appreciated. I had a final report due for a 3 year project that required quarterly update reports. Fed all of the update reports into the bot, with the original contract of deliverables and asked for a final report.
After editing, it probably took me 90 minutes and that's with checking CF a few times during the process.

I used it to generate a legacy code migration plan with all of the necessary analysis, work, and etc into 4 epics complete with stories. It nailed the work.
I’ve found some very good time savings, and some time sinks.

Chat GPT was very useful when I had it give an opinion of my investments. I just took all of the accounts and holdings and pasted those from a Quicken report. It identified that I had many overlapping funds, but it also recognized that I have three seperate "buckets" that hold those dollars. Buckets, simply put, is a term used for short medium and long term holdings. I was amazed it recognized that fact.
Back on target. I have been playing around with creating my own agent in Copilot studio the last few weeks.
For those of you who haven't hear of it an agent is basically a chat bot where you get to feed it the information you want it to know, no more no less. A whole lot of my job revolves round taking the data I collect and presenting in design reviews and it never fails some middle manager wants to go back and question a decision I made months ago. So I go dumpster diving through old slide decks trying to remember where I presented the data. Now I just add those slide decks to my agent knowledge base and I can ask it what we chose to do certain things and it will pull out my rational from the slide deck or at least the relevant information. I think that'll save me a bunch of time.

Somehow, TJ found time to purchase and take ownership of a luxury hotel in some un-named city.
I just finished a Google skills sprint today covering Google cloud platforms AI abilities for use in the public sector. It was interesting, but honestly I learned a lot more about using claude code and AI in general than I did about Google AI tools. I also learned that picking up new tech is insanely easy now. At first it was overwhelming, but now it's like that scene in Indiana Jones where he shoots the sword guy.
All football season, I used AI to make some short-short game-day animated videos, and this basketball season, just stills.
It's been so interesting to watch the progression in the drawings.
But today, surprise, the first drawing I got was an old ASCII drawing. But, of course, got what I wanted (plus an ad for Cyclone gear, first time ever), and then I asked just whut wuz up.
Here's our "convo"... Hilarious.
ME: It was a surprise. But funny. Are you related to HAL 9000?
CHAT: Haha—high praise, I think?
Nope, no relation to HAL 9000—I promise I have zero intentions of locking anyone out of an airlock.
If anything, I’m more like a friendly mashup of:
That said, if I ever start saying “I’m sorry, I can’t let you do that”… you have my permission to unplug me.

- an art generator
- and a slightly nostalgic internet gremlin who occasionally breaks into ASCII

To @FriendlySpartan and @MJ29 who dumb-filed a funny AI post, fer Crissakes...
Who spit in your cornflakes this morning?
Dave is not pleased.
