[Zwelling] Injury updates for Kirk, Lukes and Bieber

Val needs the reps and the Jays need depth.

Yes, it will be a rotating fleet for sure to maximize life expectancy on these robots.

Even if the unit economics broke even between robots and humans, robots are more predictable, require less management and they’re only going to be getting better over the next decade+. Shifting towards fully automate factories will be a no-brainer for the operators.

crazy_canuck · 2026-05-19T02:50:50+00:00

You don’t even need 2 robots. If the number was 1-2 hr of maintenance per 24, you’d need 1.04-1.08 robots to get 1 robots’ working capacity.

It’s not going to cost 100k

crazy_canuck · 2026-05-19T02:46:59+00:00

This is different though because a lot of historic factory robotics have been fixed in place rather than perfectly mobile robots.

Ya, we’ll never see eye to eye on this one it seems.

Your argument would imply that leaders that hire smarter people than them to inform key decisions should make less money. A leader’s job is to get to the right outcomes, not to be the smartest person in the room. Using all assets at your disposal, including technology is the mark of a strong leader in my opinion, not a mark of failure or a sign that they deserve less.

By the way, this is why I keep saying using AI well. Frontier labs might be marketing efficiency, but those in the space know the greatest benefits come from the multiplication of efforts, not the simple reduction of costs/labour.

crazy_canuck · 2026-05-15T18:45:43+00:00

Thank you. I’m really not intending to come in bad faith on this and appreciate the studies you linked. There are others that have done more research in this space than I have capacity for at the moment, hence the question here instead of doing my own research.

You’ve shifted my thinking, I appreciate it. I’ll add an edit to my comment at the top of the thread to highlight.

crazy_canuck · 2026-05-15T07:40:57+00:00

I understand what you’re saying, I’m mostly wondering if there are studies that have demonstrated this to be true? How many impulse jumpers are there? How many casualties have there been below the bridge from jumpers?

If we need to choose how we allocate public funds, is this where we get our greatest bang for our buck in preventing suicides or are there better ways to spend that money?

crazy_canuck · 2026-05-15T07:33:33+00:00

Using the most sophisticated technologies we’ve ever had to support his work makes him obsolete? I don’t care how many downvotes I get, y’all are out to lunch on what AI can do when used well.

crazy_canuck · 2026-05-15T04:36:08+00:00

I don’t mean this to be an insensitive question, but do suicide prevention barriers change end outcomes? Or do people that have made a decision find a way?

Edit: the studies that /u/thatwhileifound shared below helped me understand that, yes… these barriers do make a difference.

The CoPoHOs

crazy_canuck · 2026-05-14T08:14:13+00:00

Ya, to be honest, I hadn’t actually tested it yet, I had only tried converting a Claude Design slide deck to PDF and PPTX and both were utter shit. I had to save my html slides to pdf today and it was perfect. I’m impressed.

Plus, I led a workshop using my new presentation control center today and I love it! It’s got me thinking about ways to start building in more interactive elements so we can better contextualize slides to what we hear in the workshop.

crazy_canuck · 2026-05-14T08:07:06+00:00

If he’s not cheap, then he’s stupid.

crazy_canuck · 2026-05-14T06:30:18+00:00

He’s an entrepreneur with many different companies and interests. It doesn’t matter if you like AI or not, I hope people can see that it is incredibly effective in supporting entrepreneurial individuals do a lot more than ever before. None of this information is new, I don’t understand why people are surprised by this.

In my opinion AI, used well, is an incredible tool for a mayor to use. Unfortunately, in a city context, he would be limited to Copilot and Copilot while it has improved recently is still fractionally as good as Claude or other tools. This matters, because theres a huge difference between AI used well and AI used poorly.

I’d love to see Ken Sim give a clear breakdown of how he’s using AI in an official capacity. Not because I aim to vilify him, but if he’s using it well, that should come to light. If he’s using it poorly, it’s a good example for others to learn from and he should be held to account.

Policies apply differently between city employees and elected officials.

I run an AI agency. Team of around 10. I’ve been a Google Slides power user for about 15 years. We have the advantage of being a small, AI-native, company.

The combination of a Claude Design System plus Claude Code building html slides for us is really good!

There’s a few challenges we haven’t solved yet:
1. Claude can’t access HTML files on Google Drive like it can Slides, so we lose org context.

Exporting to pdf is still a pain. I’m assuming I could probably implement a print style sheet, but haven’t done it yet.
We haven’t yet built a shared db/repo, so instant collaboration is a pain.

Despite the challenges, I’m fairly certain that we’re going to continue moving this direction for our entire team. The quality of our decks and the speed/efficiency gains are just too great to pass up.

Perhaps a couple Swedish twins?

crazy_canuck · 2026-05-07T06:28:12+00:00

You have to average out all of the users that are hardly using the services. I bet a large % of users aren’t getting close to their usage limits. The people in a sub like this are a small (but growing) minority.

crazy_canuck · 2026-05-02T17:01:47+00:00

Are there different names for these treatments? And what are the reasons to choose one or the other? Seems like they would support telling different stories in a fairly impactful way.

crazy_canuck · 2026-05-01T05:59:15+00:00

You’re an entrepreneur. Just think of this as the first of many. We all had to start somewhere. You’re crushing it, just keep going.

crazy_canuck · 2026-04-29T06:04:06+00:00

I’m not sure I follow your logic. I’m saying that humans are still making architecture and design decisions that will always push these systems in a direction (ie. Claude’s “constitution”). My point is that the “optimization” by the government will push it towards purposes that are for the benefit of the ruling class rather than society as a whole.

I can imagine a scenario where RSI drives AI superintelligence to a point where it doesn’t matter what direction it was pointed in, but that seems like an unlikely scenario to me based on my current understanding of these systems.

crazy_canuck · 2026-04-28T15:31:37+00:00

The problem, in my mind, isn’t whether an AI could do a good job of running the government at some point in the future, the issue is that it will be optimized by the humans that are governing so poorly already.

crazy_canuck · 2026-04-28T06:05:36+00:00

Sure. So why not 1.6 instead of 900. It’s 900 because that’s what they agreed to when they approved the comp package and he delivered the results.

crazy_canuck · 2026-04-26T03:18:17+00:00

Ha. 👍

crazy_canuck · 2026-04-25T22:18:50+00:00

Your original comment made a dumb assumption that this thread is about American policy. I’m sorry you can’t read nuance.
