  • The best advice I got from an old guy at work when I was young was “start putting 100 dollars extra into your super every pay” (old man wished he’d looked into saving for retirement a lot sooner), the worst was “save yourself some trouble and go find a woman you hate and buy her a house” (old man whose marriage was based on him not being there and which immediately broke down when he stopped working away and wished he’d never bothered with it).




  • I work for a large multinational engineering firm and they have been rolling out copilot for a while now. They keep running courses about using AI and prompt generation but never have any actually useful use cases.

    The best they can come up with is “summarise this doc so you don’t have to read it (but also read it because the AI gets it wrong) and then generate an even simpler summary and a pretty presentation for your boss so they don’t have to read it and also they’re an idiot.”

    After the last course I asked the training delivery team to share the presentation material but they got all cagey like I wanted to steal their IP.

    Just hit them back with a different conversation than the one they wanted to have. I find" hi how’s your day going?" isn’t tangential enough, but if you know who they are then might try ask something a bit more personalised or even try and offload one of your problems onto them.
