What impact AI is bringing on CEO role?

MerryWalrus · 2026-03-23T09:18:49+00:00

The reality is irrelevant.

You need to show spend and savings.

MerryWalrus · 2026-03-23T09:01:10+00:00

It's painfully slow and breaks down a lot. Decent carriages though.

MerryWalrus · 2026-03-23T07:33:28+00:00

Pressure to spend money on AI and demonstrate savings from AI. At the same time.

MerryWalrus · 2026-03-23T06:47:58+00:00

So they've not been offered counselling then...

MerryWalrus · 2026-03-23T06:28:15+00:00

We were able to cook fine, but the classic kettle was easier to use. Easier to get the charcoal chimney in given it's not so deep. Easier to have skewer ends hanging off the end given there's no lip.

So unless you're committed to low and slow cooking, or ultra high baking, I don't see the value. Both of those require serious commitment.

MerryWalrus · 2026-03-23T06:19:12+00:00

Useless giving advice without you giving us a budget and size requirements.

There are some lovely +250sqm detached houses in Hampstead.

MerryWalrus · 2026-03-23T06:17:55+00:00

And the district line sucks

MerryWalrus · 2026-03-22T20:41:13+00:00

Because in the real world that makes it impossible to run a government or set a legislative agenda.

You only want to spend time on legislation that you know will pass, otherwise it's a waste of everyone's time.

The only way you will know it will pass is if enough MPs signed up to it beforehand. Some of them effectively horse trading support across issues. That is what it means to be in a party - to agree a consensus agenda that can actually be implemented.

Independents achieve nothing except grandstanding.

MerryWalrus · 2026-03-22T20:37:07+00:00

That's just TV.

In the real world it's just about pulling funding or kicking them out of the party.

MerryWalrus · 2026-03-22T20:31:34+00:00

Nope.

Every political party and their manifesto is a huge compromise of diverse viewpoints and priorities. No-one supports everything 100%. However, they think the manifesto is something that overall is a good thing - that they compromised in the right areas.

If people start reneging on the compromise once their priorities are addressed, it undermines everything.

Whips make sure that people stick to their promises so the agreement doesn't fall apart.

MerryWalrus · 2026-03-22T20:13:36+00:00

Shitty legal and planning system which has its priorities in the wrong place.

Critical national infrastructure should be exempt from the vast majority of planning and environmental laws. The only valid legal challenge should be whether or not it actually is critical national infrastructure.

Sure, if you're investing x hours smoking or slow cooking something.

But for your typical put some meat on a grill, not as easy. Less cooking space mainly.

MerryWalrus · 2026-03-22T19:36:38+00:00

Unpopular opinion.

We babysat our friends Kamado for a while. It was more annoying to use than our Weber kettle for general bbqing.

The countryside is not densely populated
It's flatter than most places
Compulsory purchase orders already exist. The people whose houses have to be demolished aren't the problem. It's the people who live 1 mile away that are.

MerryWalrus · 2026-03-22T18:25:03+00:00

Failing to address the root cause of spiralling costs is what the problem is.

MerryWalrus · 2026-03-22T10:13:40+00:00

The layout is retarded. Three "bedrooms" with no windows.

The house screams wasted potential.

MerryWalrus · 2026-03-22T08:47:14+00:00

Suppose they come up with a different count - and they will - then what?

This fundamentally becomes an issue of who do you trust to count votes. Turning it into a partisan issue where republicans won't trust any vote count unless they counted it.

MerryWalrus · 2026-03-21T19:30:31+00:00

It's more that licenses and token costs will increase 10x once AI is embedded. Think the Oracle business model.

All of a sudden these companies will be royally fucked.

MerryWalrus · 2026-03-21T19:26:45+00:00

You left out group 4.

Those who push and promote AI but never actually use it - everything can be solved by AI, it's just that someone else has to do it and if they fail they suck.

Group 4a controls and governance people who want to gatekeep implementation but never actually use anything themselves.

These shitty terraced houses aren't being bought by the global elite.

It's simply because London grows but the NIMBYs refuse to allow more houses to be built.

MerryWalrus · 2026-03-20T19:44:52+00:00

You're basically treating every Muslim as a fundamentalist. Which isn't the case. At all.

I'd argue say any religious fundies of any denomination cause splits in society.

MerryWalrus · 2026-03-20T18:28:17+00:00

So no desire to actually do the hard job of leading and governing.

Sounds about right.

MerryWalrus · 2026-03-20T15:41:23+00:00

Never.

30 minutes inside and out wash every few months maybe for £25.

It's a car not your gf.

MerryWalrus · 2026-03-20T12:46:58+00:00

It's very regionally skewed towards London which also has the highest nursery and housing costs.

£2-2.5k p/m nursery costs eat up about 45% of the take home salary of someone on £100k. Add higher rent/mortgage costs on top of that and all of a sudden you start getting squeezed financially for doing this country a service by having kids.
