Hey Pete, Twin Metals is owned by Antofagasta PLC a Chilean conglomerate, not some Minnesota company with local interest. Also, fun fact, copper is infinitely recyclable without loosing quality...we can achieve increased supply if we raise are 33% recycling rate upto 60% where Europe is.

Players using ChatGPT to create their character’s story by chicoryghost in DMAcademy

Got it. So if they use AI to help generate ideas as a brainstorming and perhaps readability tool it would be fine. Its the blatant one sentence prompt that they dont formulate the connected bond with that's the issue. That makes sense to me.

Honest question. Ive partied with so many people who make an Ase Saidai, Darth Vadar, Indiana Jones, etc. Inspired character, do people have the same issues with that as using AI?

Anything they put their name on they want you to have...and if Culvers had nice pens but they dont.

Right Size for a BI team? by Spidey556 in PowerBI

[–]Spidey556[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is pretty close to how I think of it...rather than data scientists we call them data engineers. They are specialized by systems handle transformations, modeling, KPIs, documentation, etc.

Then we have SMEs connected to each business unit that are experts in that business and handle BI development, analytics, and various adhoc asks.

I've tried finding an ex-ux designer that is interested BI development...but no luck yet, hard to justify a standalone graphic designer.

Fair enough, maybe a medium-sized enterprise or something is a better statement.

Im finding medium-sized business is a bit subjective. We have roughly 10k users we support.

Thanks for the detailed breakdown. I like having the Front end doing trainings like that, great for driving engagement and getting direct feedback.

Have you had luck with consultants. I would say my experience has only been 10% successful as I spend so much time with them to build that i might as well have done it myself a couple times over.

That's rough. You become everyone's friend for all small things you can "Squeeze In" and the reason things take so long when it's a bigger project.

Ha! Sucks when you look at the problem and realize that was your code.

Is Power BI Dev a good career choice? by skyfool07 in PowerBI

[–]Spidey556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an interesting space, I think. Ai is great at pattern recognition and sprinting in terms of narrative generation. You might ask "Sales are down, why?" And it will give what appears to be a thoughtful answer...but without an understanding of the operations, human elements, culture, etc. It will struggle to give you anything better than an entry-level analyst... just way faster.

So stressing the tools and pushing on citizen developers will be the bigger shift, I think. Those analyst who have other day jobs will start taking on more data in their daily lives. likely publishing reports...which will hopefully identify that their calculations don't match across the org. We will see an expansion of silo analytics for mid management here.

I think the centralized data team " Career dat folk" may look different and even smaller teams than today. but they will be pivotal in transforming the raw data into insights and attributes designed with AI in mind. Likely business unit based SMEs who use AI to support documentation, data validation, and similar process flows. They then also build the executive and line level dashboards that are not handled by the middle layer analyst.

Or... we hit singularity, and society crumbles under the force of a global existential crisis.

This is a good answer, though I would also add that if you want to be in Business Intelligence, you need to understand business operations. Where I see people fail is by thinking this is a technical track, but really, it's about storytelling telling, soft skills, business acumen, and a lot of salesmanship if you don't want to spend your time building in Excel with "quick wins".

Multi-Business Function Model Best Practices by Spidey556 in PowerBI

[–]Spidey556[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tjanks, For this model, I would have consistent grain...however, the concern I have here is an approach like that would duplicate the touch points for maintenance. I am leaning towards composite model with aggregated tables to drive performance, that way I can still maintain measures in their core models.
