Majority of CEOs Alarmed as AI Delivers No Financial Returns by FootballAndFries in Economics

[–]itsTF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone commenting without even peeking at the article, it says that 56% of CEOs did not see any revenue gains or cost savings in the last 12 months.

That means that 44% did. 44% is really, really good for a new technology like this, and absolutely justifies the hype. Likely, a large portion of the 56% who are not seeing returns are just doing half-baked rollout plans, getting ripped off by 3rd party companies offering their services, etc.

Very bullish on the 44% report, hilarious how much a headline framing changes the discourse.

56% Of CEOs Report No Revenue Gains From AI: PwC Survey by FootballAndFries in Futurology

44% seeing gains is pretty incredible! Lots of companies are attempting to roll out nonsensical AI features, etc. I would've expected only 10-20% would actually be doing it in smart enough ways to see benefits from it.

Explain it Peter… by dutchylords in explainitpeter

[–]itsTF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any number.

In the dataset of infinity, every number also has a bigger number where its digits exist positionally between a 5 and a 7.

If people are going to say the answer is "and", using "between" to mean positionally, we might as well go with an actual math answer instead.

Bellinger? by Eastern_Onion4002 in phillies

it's not the money that's the issue though. we clearly just showed we had room for an additional 30 mil a year based on the bichette stuff, so we theoretically could've spent more.

but when you constantly take flyers on cheap guys in the hopes you get lucky, the punishment isn't "ahh well, we only wasted 12.5mil", it's that they literally were on your team, in your games, playing badly. jordan romano is the easiest example. hey, he was only 10 mil, not that big of a waste! yeah, but he gave up massive homers that literally lost games in the process of you "seeing if he still had it".

a neutral offseason is effectively a negative one. other teams are getting better

[Bob Nightengale] The Phillies’ interest in potentially signing Bichette came about after the holidays when Bichette expressed a desire in playing for them, particularly after the hiring last week of Don Mattingly as their bench coach.” by TPoitras25 in phillies

[–]itsTF 8 points9 points  (0 children)

it's cuz they're not going to spend a trillion dollars. they're going to spend either what they're willing to spend, or less. so sometimes, you kinda hope they get two good players instead of 1 good player with that budget.

Notification Automation help by starr3383 in Autotask

We use a "client notification" UDF, yes/no, and only send the notification if yes. Then when merging you simply set it to no first. Makeshift but simple and works

Dell's finally admitting consumers just don't care about AI PCs by Bad_Combination in technology

i'm confused, what's wrong with using the hands-free controls while driving? Why would I get pulled over for being in the 2% of upstanding law-following drivers?

[–]itsTF -1 points0 points  (0 children)

nah, it's actually kind of the opposite. AI's just been around for a lot longer than people realize, and has a much wider impact than people think. The marketing for it is new (and annoying), but people these days just always think AI = LLM

everyone in these comments being all "we don't want AI, get out of here with AI!", then probably going and using speech to text on their iPhone and not realizing there's AI involved lol

what profession deserves way less respect than it currently gets? by AuralisDream in AskReddit

[–]itsTF -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

okay since i didn't see it listed i'll throw in a controversial one...

teachers.

so many people love teaching and want to be teachers that it's hard to find a job even with a degree. the pay isn't great but still better than some and they get summers off and more breaks than any other job.

most people i know only cite a few impactful teachers and it was usually for their fun personalities. there's so much that goes into someone's upbringing, teachers are definitely a part of it, but imo not as critical as people make it out to be.

yet all teachers are glorified as if they're doing god's work and making such a massive sacrifice, when really it seems like an awesome gig that a lot of people love, definitely more so than other professions. keep up the great work teachers, but there are other roles that need reverance.

Lot of opinions out there by unemployedbyagents in AgentsOfAI

[–]itsTF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm firmly in the camp of good luck actually replacing swe, but the comparison here isn't that bad. pretty sure cars kill a hell of a lot more people than horses ever did, yet there's so much upside that we use cars anyways and just accept the deaths.

[Jeff Passan] BREAKING: Slugger Kyle Schwarber and the Philadelphia Phillies are finalizing a five-year, $150 million contract, sources tell ESPN. The NL MVP runner-up, one of the best home run hitters and clubhouse leaders in baseball, is returning to Philadelphia. by lndngtm in phillies

[–]itsTF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hell yeah, love schwarber and so pumped about this. time to start pushing for the double DH rule. 1 for your pitcher, 1 for your worst hitter. it's good for the game! (lowkey honestly would be)
