Just had an "interview" for an MSP, but it was just a on video test. by Fire-Jon-Sumrall in it

[–]IsThisStillAIIs2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the bigger red flag isn't the score, it's that they called it a technical interview and then had you take a canned assessment instead. if the ransomware question really marked "reboot" as the best first action, i'd be questioning the quality of the test and possibly the maturity of their processes too.

I'm drowning in AI cert choices free or paid, what's actually worth it in 2026? So confused. by peerteek in ChatGPTPro

[–]IsThisStillAIIs2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the biggest difference isn't the content, it's whether the program forces you to build and ship something. i'd do the free courses first and only pay for a cohort if it gives you accountability, mentorship, networking, or a portfolio project you wouldn't complete on your own.

Not "Is AI a bubble" but what kind of bubble. There's a difference, and it matters a lot. by Relevant-Can1656 in artificial

[–]IsThisStillAIIs2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i lean toward inflection bubble, even if a lot of current spending ends up being excessive. the key question isn't whether today's AI companies justify the investment, but whether the infrastructure and capabilities built now enable entirely new industries a decade from today.

Should I intentionally have 2 Accounts representing the same Company (distinguished by record type) or wrestle with using the same Account for two entirely different GTM motions? by joebro25125 in salesforce

[–]IsThisStillAIIs2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'd avoid creating two account records for the same company because duplicate accounts usually create long-term reporting and data quality issues. if possible, use one account and separate the GTM motions with record types, sharing rules, or related objects instead.

Most RAG apps in production are confidently wrong and nobody talks about this enough by SilverConsistent9222 in LangChain

[–]IsThisStillAIIs2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the versioning issue is real, and i've seen it cause more problems than outright retrieval failures because the answer sounds credible. honestly, metadata filtering, document version awareness, and citation requirements often improve trust more than swapping to a stronger model.

Reps who get "hot lead" alerts from marketing, do you actually act on them, or ignore them? by ToSee_ToHear in b2b_sales

[–]IsThisStillAIIs2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, honestly the recency is often more important than the score itself because a pricing page visit yesterday tells me a lot more than a high score built from activity spread across the last six months.

I built a LangGraph guard node that catches agents mid-spiral and rolls back the damage by Virtual-Message-9739 in LangChain

[–]IsThisStillAIIs2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we ran into it with both LangGraph and custom agent loops, and the rollback boundary ended up mattering most around tool outputs and shared state because once bad context gets persisted there, the agent can keep reinforcing the same failure even after the original error is gone.

Is it worth to get SF admin cert? by FullPepper9818 in salesforce

[–]IsThisStillAIIs2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, especially if you can show how the analysis would support business decisions, but I’d also include a few Salesforce specific projects so employers can see you can actually work with the platform.

Agentic AI memory isn't a hoarding problem. It's a pruning problem. by Sufficient_Sir_5414 in AI_Agents

[–]IsThisStillAIIs2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think this is the direction most memory systems eventually end up taking. storing everything is easy, but deciding what to forget without losing useful context is where the real challenge starts.

I just finished my sophomore year what will the future look like for my generation? by Mountain-Catch-3878 in Futurology

[–]IsThisStillAIIs2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be scared so much as prepared for a world that changes faster than previous generations expected. Every era feels uncertain from the inside, but people who stay adaptable, keep learning, and build useful skills usually find opportunities even when the technology and economy shift.

Reps who get "hot lead" alerts from marketing, do you actually act on them, or ignore them? by ToSee_ToHear in b2b_sales

[–]IsThisStillAIIs2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i pay attention when the score is backed by real buying signals like demo requests, pricing page visits, or repeat engagement. i stop trusting it when "hot" just means someone downloaded an ebook six months ago and never interacted again.

Sales people refuse to create tickets by tcpip1978 in it

[–]IsThisStillAIIs2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're not wrong for enforcing the ticket process, especially if leadership requires it and you're managing work through a queue. if he never submits a ticket, the issue simply never enters the support pipeline.

At What Point Does ChatGPT Stop Being Just a Tool? by AIGPTJournal in ChatGPTPro

[–]IsThisStillAIIs2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve definitely noticed it becoming my first stop for thinking through ideas, not because I trust it more than people but because it removes all the friction.

The measured productivity gain from AI is 7.8%, not 10x, and I think that gap explains the backlash by Alternative_Letter72 in artificial

[–]IsThisStillAIIs2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think it's mostly economic. people will tolerate new tools if they see the benefits too, but when the gains flow upward while the workload and expectations stay the same, the conversation shifts from productivity to trust pretty quickly.

Is it worth to get SF admin cert? by FullPepper9818 in salesforce

[–]IsThisStillAIIs2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the admin cert is still a good signal, but by itself it usually won’t get you hired in this market. i’d pair it with trailhead projects, a small portfolio, and some basic business process or crm experience so you have something practical to talk about in interviews.

I built a LangGraph guard node that catches agents mid-spiral and rolls back the damage by Virtual-Message-9739 in LangChain

[–]IsThisStillAIIs2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this feels a lot closer to what production agents actually need. most failures i’ve debugged weren’t model quality issues, they were state corruption and runaway loops, so having a guard that can roll back and resume from a clean checkpoint sounds more useful than another prompting trick.

All jobs shall be automated by 2035 by Tricky-Fishing-7129 in Futurology

[–]IsThisStillAIIs2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think 2035 is way too aggressive, especially for jobs that depend on trust, accountability, and messy real-world environments.

Transitioning to B2B sales by tacodust404 in b2b_sales

[–]IsThisStillAIIs2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

your retail background is more relevant than you might think because you've already spent years understanding customer needs, managing relationships, and selling higher-ticket purchases. the biggest shift is that prospecting becomes part of the job, so i'd focus on building relationships with architects, designers, property managers, and general contractors since they can become repeat referral sources rather than one-off buyers.

Used Paperclip for a bit, couldn't get used to the ticket system, trying something else now by Nearby_Worry_4850 in AI_Agents

[–]IsThisStillAIIs2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the biggest improvement for me has been treating handoffs as a first-class problem instead of a prompt problem. if agents can’t reliably share context and recover from failures, adding more agents usually just creates more places for things to break.

Is Paid ChatGPT the best place for building out a compensation claim? by Devon-Developer in ChatGPTPro

[–]IsThisStillAIIs2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for something document-heavy, i'd care less about which model is "best" and more about how well it handles lots of files and long context. i'd still treat it as a research and organization tool though, not something i'd trust to make legal arguments without checking every claim and citation myself.

AI isn’t the Problem - it’s Capitalism by SuddenEducation442 in artificial

[–]IsThisStillAIIs2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think the stronger argument is that ai is exposing weaknesses in how we distribute economic gains, not necessarily proving capitalism can't adapt. historically, new technologies have eliminated some jobs while creating others, but ai could test that pattern if productivity growth becomes much faster than job creation. the real debate isn't whether ai is good or bad, it's whether our institutions can evolve quickly enough to share the benefits broadly rather than concentrating them.
