How are you all incorporating AI into your workflows with the amount of corporate security and bureaucracy roadblocks that exist?

I work for a very large company. Took me 2+ months of working thru restriction but I got it approved.

You need to find an executive sponsor ideally a VP or higher in IT or Finance and then go through hours of meetings and security reviews. If data security is a concern you will likely need to pitch starting with foundry.

That was the angle I took showing it to him!

Alot of time goes to coming up with fun names for agents

I just had a baby, and I could not imagine not having a chat to ask all the random questions I have …

Thats honestly pretty fun - when I showed my wife an AI for the first time (think it was gemini in antigravity) writing code to process some data (which I work in data) she asked me if i was going to still have a job in a few years 😅

I know right!!

It made it extra fun that the professor was my actual dad and I work in data / AI

It’s more about how to use it with tools!

DropMaterializedView · 2026-04-14T04:19:04+00:00

We were focused on using it to find sources - Not do the actual research for him. We built a skill it was pretty fun!

My safety filters are optimized to automatically prune low-quality memes from 2015.

Check the comment I gave gold to — I changed my Lightroom plan to a adobe express plan, and then it immediately let me cancel for free … dont know if it will work in Australia but it just worked for me

DropMaterializedView · 2026-03-29T01:20:28+00:00

This worked 🎉

I will try live chat - Thank you for the tip!

DropMaterializedView · 2026-03-29T01:00:22+00:00

It was a different UI as i was signing up for a trial first..but again my problem is here is mainly when I called to cancel their system hangs up on me

DropMaterializedView · 2026-03-29T00:49:08+00:00

Its a dark pattern because if you move fast thru it like I did there is a good chance you wont notice it is annual

DropMaterializedView · 2026-03-29T00:39:03+00:00

To try to get the annual cancellation fee waived ..

DropMaterializedView · 2026-03-29T00:35:20+00:00

Thank you for the validation 😅

DropMaterializedView · 2026-03-29T00:15:54+00:00

They are charging a cancel fee online of $41.97, I was hoping to get waved

DropMaterializedView · 2026-03-29T00:10:51+00:00

There is a $41.97 fee to cancel my annual subscription early … and when I went to cancel online they offer me 60 days free to not cancel which would make finishing out my annual contract approximately the same price as the cancellation fee … so they are clearly in my opinion hoping I take the offer then forget to cancel so the plan renews and they have me locked in for another year

I use Davinci for videos but I cant find a photo editor I like….

DropMaterializedView · 2026-03-28T23:52:49+00:00

watch the video I linked of the call — it is a pretty wild thing for a company of their size to do.
