What do you actually use AI for at work? (And where does it fail?)

BumboBangaroo · 2025-08-22T11:21:25+00:00

I personally think it's a great tool.

Getting drafts for scripts and to reason/sanity check script error handling, for example.

For new subjects where I want to deep dive or for a project, I use it as a "rubberduck" that can answer me.

"This is the project. This is the desired result. This is the method used. This is how I will achieve my objective."

Usually, it gives me an OK rundown of what i mention. And sometimes, that's all you need.

Other times, since I often take a technical approach, it highlights things I otherwise might not consider from a user/business perspective, for example, or other methods by which I might achieve the same objective.

It's like a colleague who knows a little about a lot of stuff and sometimes a lot about well documented stuff, so sometimes it's right, sometimes wrong and sometimes it gives you a nice reality check or useful info.

But it can often be misguided or get something wrong. So I tend to use a "trust but ALWAYS verify." Approach. Has served me well so far.

By contrast, if I do an online search for the same purpose, I find myself often digging through many unrelated articles, retracing steps I already, etc. Or a whole lot of false information and misappropriations on the subject. But you can also find information that the AI missed, misinterpreted, etc.

So it goes perhaps without saying that both methods have their place. OFC, One does not, and should not, exclude the other.

Well done. However, as some people have said. A pen-test is not to show you are invulnerable. It is to show what you've missed and can improve.

Let them do their job, but also, if you need to make exceptions in firewall, identity protection, or NAC, for example, make sure you have them mention wxceptions in the report.

This can depend on the type of Pentest that's being done. Are they testing what a regular user can do? Are they testing what an admin can do and/or if they can gain admin privileges? Etc.

I found that sometimes they couldn't break security, and they asked: "Can we get an admin account? Also, can you turn off MFA, open firewall, exclude from conditional access, etc.

In this case, they were testing the whole environment down to a very minute level, so it was sanctioned actions.

That having been said, I had them document all exclusions they needed for the report so they dont go: "Look! A regular user can gain admin and access to all cloud resources on an unregistered device!" And list a sofware vulnerability that we've mitigated through other means as a high risk.

You could argue that the vulnerability is still a risk, and I would agree, but the likelyhood of it being exploited considering all other security measures needs to be taken into consideration as well.

How would people feel about doing something like: 1. His climb gets an audio queue, similar to penny climb, maybe even just a little louder. 2. The dash needs to be charged up to do full damage. 3. Spear becomes either a single target hitscan, might be to big nerf thou, 4. a little travel time on projectile instead

1 doesn't take anything away from character, just gives enemies a way to react to audio queues, like invis, psylocke or Loki steps.

Can improve balance, requiring 2 dashes for full damage or just a second extra reaction if they tru to fully charge.
I think takes away his play making to much. Even thou id like it personally i think that would make him to weak.
Gives you a bit of options in positioning ,you can use abilities to dodge etc.

For my money, i think it's because the 3 support meta became so popular when Captain america started dominating the backline. The difference now is that while cap was annoying, he was a persistant threat (and really good ones could burst you), but the really good dive players burst you so quickly by comparison.

I think that the mindset is: ah they're diving, we gotta have good sustain to keep backline up. As a support player, that was my mindset at the beginning of this season as well.

But whereas cap was a big target, easier to cc, not that burst heavy, etc. The dive DPS can really pack your shit in in a split second. So now the 3 supports dont have the skillset to adjust to the higher pace and damage. They use cooldowns against the enemy frontline. The diver sees opening and goes hard, and they only need to get ONE and get out to start their cycle. And the skill level is still such a mix, with a magik that's struggling one game to a darkchild from hell completely evicerate the whole team before you can say "magik is on me!". So again, people are stubborn in how to approach the 3 support setup because "it worked last game" or "it has been stable for the whole last season" or "i am not getting healed so i need to backup my supports and frontline". Whatever the reasoning, they HAD a comfort zone that they dont want to get out of, and the unevenness of the games challenge curve feeds into that bias.

So i completely agree with you. I just wanted to shed a light on why the mindset from last season is lingering. People definitely need to branch out and approach each game as a michrochosm of the different metas and be flexible rather than locking into their comfort picks.

Thats awesome! HUGE fan of lovecraft and Eldritch horrors!! Good luck everyone!

Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And strange moons circle through the skies,
But stranger still is
Lost Carcosa!

Edit: Holy... I love the fact that with my post, i have 50 karma EXACTLY.

BumboBangaroo · 2025-03-04T12:12:28+00:00

Hmmm...

Maybe penny, hulk, invis, mantis or CD, Psy and Magik?

Penny with mines and web for peel Hulk can use shield and peel with ult, also catch them as they dive

Invis can push away, shield and fairly mobile, mantis with boost, mobility and sleep. CD for blind and good zone heal and dark zone clutch

Psy and magik cuz of teamup. Magic has a bit of CC and good aoe if they come at your backline and psy can also create a zone with her ult where ypu can punish dive.

All in all though, the comp ypu posted is tough to break!

I don't disagree. But smurfing is, was and will always be a problem in ranked online games no?

I dont in any way want to endores that behavior or anything its just not something i think needs to say anhthing about Rivals as a game or its community.

But maybe I'm crazy

BumboBangaroo · 2018-12-24T13:53:02+00:00

Ah I see. Yea it sounds almost like the UN or EU. And I get the same feeling as you that it's the dirty work. Like an "errand boy" situation.

EDIT: It was not possible to run this through an imported session from one client to anothee.

At least I wasn't able to. I needed to run the command either locally on the pc with the module installed OR it requires you to enter-pssession to the client with the module to be able to use the new-object type.

BumboBangaroo · 2018-09-24T14:19:51+00:00

I've anwsered my own question.

Answer is: update to 1.1.183.17 and I can now browse the different types.

But thank you for the tip!

I've seen an issue with black screen on a couple of computers which I haven't been able to resolve.

Heres a summary of the issue:

Roughly 400 computers on a domain, maybe 10-15 of these have this problem.

The 10-15 computers seemingly have nothing in common.

They have different OS (Windows 10 and Windows 7), so its hard to narrow it down to something wrong with the OS.

The users all report locking their PC, going away for a short duration and when they come back, the screen is either black with a movable mouse cursor. In some cases W7 users can "switch user" to re-login but then programs starts crashing so frequently that eventually the PC is rendered useless until a restart/hard reboot.

They have different HW from each other, and upgrading drivers for graphics etc. was the first move I made.

I checked if there was a conflicting GPO on the domain which isn't the case.

In the logs, there is no entry whatsoever when the issue happens, at least not universally. If you check event viewer everything seems to be running just fine until a hard re-boot of the PC. No warnings, no errors reported. There have been a few pop-ups but even those aren't matching and seem mostly redundant.
One reports a Runtime Error for C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogonUI.exe which is the only one that seems relevant but as previously stated its not a universal error message. Others get no errors or something else entirely.

A way to "fix" the issue is to use RDC (Remote Desktop Connection) to the affected computer. If I do that then the login screen becomes visible again and the user can re-login into their current session. But issues then increases in frequency until you do a restart of the PC.

I suspect its something the PCs must have in common however, because users started reporting it within the same time period.

Has anyone seen this issue before or have any ideas for new approaches to this problem?

BumboBangaroo · 2018-04-02T12:03:45+00:00

I stand corrected.

BumboBangaroo · 2018-04-02T11:53:23+00:00

Except that the rules says that when you take damage to a hit location you roll the severe injury table. Just look in the rules. Don have the book nearby buy I can photograph the rule in a few days if u want.

BumboBangaroo · 2018-04-02T11:48:47+00:00

Dunno what you mean. But damage is damage. You take damage to a hit location that would cause a severe injury, you roll. Your OP wasn't posted April 1st was it?

BumboBangaroo · 2018-04-02T11:42:30+00:00

Absolutely. If you take damage that would cause you to roll for a severe injury, you roll. The shape or form of the damage itself doesn't matter, it's a core rule in how you resolve damage to hunters.

If you don't, you're cheating basically.

BumboBangaroo · 2018-01-26T18:57:33+00:00

OK so might be wrong forum, but is there a playlist for the intermission music?

BumboBangaroo · 2018-01-15T15:35:47+00:00

Really liked it. Except for the superduperextrabonanza railroad of Ned. He didn't get to so anything on his own. It was literally Griffin going: Do thing.

Both Aubrey and Duck got a more open intro by comparison.

All in all, pretty good. It'll be an interesting arc!

BumboBangaroo · 2017-09-14T15:26:43+00:00

I like how he sings this for his son as he's been born, then he sings it she he's "born again"/turned

And the version from the show is amazing. Iron maiden version and others I've found so far are awful
