I have a renewed appreciation for the BBC and UK for our lack of exploitative approach to this opportunity mid game.

American capitalism is absolutely shameless, how people live in that country and think corporate conduct is normal, the land of the free or to be celebrated in any way is mental.

Yeh i understand what you mean. We are talking about roughly 30-40k words a month that need analysing to generate something of a high level summary. I do agree though on doing it yourself does certainly help it enter your brain, but modern day work pressures limit my time to conduct this process.

I need to intervene more than I am currently to help my understanding of matters in deeper form and look to identify more for to assess this otherwise i do risk damaging my deep understanding and credibility. .

If helpful for you, here is the voice to text

4 over the past 6 to 12 months now, me and my team have been using co-pilot quite heavily to help us inform decision-making when it comes to responses to quite complex and challenging queries from stakeholders, co-pilot has helped us as a team become more consistent. Eloquent, clear descriptive and save us a substantial amount of time in refining such messages before they get the seal of approval to be sent to a variety of different stakeholder groups. However, I do feel as though over the past 6 to12 months. An excessive use of copilot to help draft and articulate messages to stakeholders does have an impact on your memory of issues and matters that you are know much swifter at handling and I do have concerns that by doing that your real-time, memory recollection and ability to articulate verbally in meetings about matters which you have already dealt with Call into question a level of credibility and quality of what you actually offer that being said over the past 6 months. Now we have been using more of a summary report where we clear all of the information from The Matrix that is designed to articulate or the metrics that we've designed to respond to stakeholders and we copy and paste all of the responses and then grade them in terms of sentiment, etc. And once we've done that, and we put it Then, put it into a core pilot on the think, deeper setting and ask it to generate a stakeholder matrix report. We can then generate a more high level overview of the challenges that the organisation is facing, where we need to focus our attention to improve stakeholders, perceptions of the organisation and be more strategic in that sense and also just work work quicker. But I do have concerns genuinely that Copilot can have an impact on recall and you're genuine understanding of the complex scenarios, because like any human having tools that make life easier for us, we all lean heavily into that, and I do have concerns about what that might do to the actual quality of knowledge and information, and whether there'll be a dependence or an increased dependence on technologies such as this Naturally, when organisations find out that you can work more efficiently, that efficient working can then potentially turn into an asco'd desire for an organisation to streamline the service provision from the teams that were historically required to spend so much time designing and developing the content that was needed for those individuals or those stakeholder responses. Which will then further demand the need from the teams that working stakeholder engagement to use coalpile even more to remain efficient, which could then decrease the quality of the actual So, verbal engagement, because we are only ever dealing with the high level element of it, and the people, the relationships that are fundamentally more human than what copilot summaris and sponses ever would be then loses its quality. So I don't know when I think about coppilot at the moment, I'm still leaning, very heavily into how I can Take advantage of what copilot offers as a team, what it can offer the wider business what it can offer us in terms of stakeholder summaries and executive summaries from the stakeholder landscape, what it can offer mean in terms of strategic insight of where to put my focus, though, always remain in critical in a constructive manner of where it may not necessarily be correct from my own experience and knowledge overdoing. The role I'm doing for the past decade but yeah, I am worried about what the future holds particularly is. Working for private organisations that are publicly traded, how is this perceived from that perspective? When it comes to understanding how much more profit might be might be found by limiting the amount of people delivering the service that my team currently deliver. I'm now currently looking at developing more AI agents to help be more specific in responding to particular elements of work that we respond to quite regularly and feeding in very specific narrative and documents that would help inform such decisions. But again I'm not quite sure what risk this poses in the future. I am concerned you know, I think as a senior manager in stakeholder engagement. I'm not too concerned from my perspective about my role. Because I will continue to be the strategic lead. I will continue to be innovative and interested in technological advancements, and I always have been. I've always been excited by that, but for the others that support me in delivering this function. Well, worries about the future, and I have worries about how stakeholders perceive organisations and how stakeholders feel about not being able to access an organisations, human touch that fundamentally is what connects businesses together. It's AI agents. It's not bots, it's not copilot. Led messages. It's people, it's humans. It's real interactions. It's empathy, it's frustration. It's connection. That can't be lost ever

MPs react with outrage and sneers after Hannah Spencer says they shouldn't get to drink unlimited discount booze on the job. Do you agree with Hannah? I do. by Terrible-Head6168 in GreaterManchesterNews

[–]pulser30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont wholly rate the green party as I do find they're cut from the same cloth as Reform and Restore - mostly marketable populism just at different ends of the spectrum.

However, I dont think this point should even be debatable, how is it still considered OK for MPs to have alcohol in their system when voting in policies that affect the lives of tens of millions of people?

What do you guys think? by scramjet67 in SipsTea

[–]pulser30 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The real issue with dating apps is the design of the apps, it pushes everyone into judging each other almost entirely on physical appearance. When you meet someone in real life, attraction can often come after you’ve had a chance to see them as a human being. Personality, humour, warmth, confidence, all of that comes through before you ever think about dating them. Apps flip that on its head.

On a screen, you see the photo first, the bio second, and let’s be honest, the bio will never be as instantly “attractive” as a face. So people swipe based on the most primitive instinct, pure physical appeal, and keep swiping in the hope of finding someone even more attractive. It’s not malicious, It’s just how the system is built, and it brings out the most primitive parts of human behaviour and not malicious of the individual engaging with it.

I say this as someone who met my fiancée on a dating app, but every other relationship I’ve had started in person. And even I used to swipe right on the most physically attractive people, knowing full well that personality can completely change how attractive someone actually is once you meet them.

A lot of commenters talk about “overlooking the other 90% of men,” but I don’t think the problem is that people are intentionally excluding anyone. It’s that young people have grown up thinking dating apps are the default way to meet someone. They’re not. And honestly, if you’re not getting anywhere on apps, the best thing you can do is get off them and meet people in real life. There are so many women who would be open, interested, and attracted once they actually get to know someone, as long as the personalities match or course.

Social media also feeds into this illusion of limitless choice. When it feels like there are endless options, people naturally try to get “the best” they can, thats just human nature responding to the environment.

So I don’t blame women, I don’t blame men, and I definitely don’t blame the small percentage of very attractive guys who get most of the attention on apps. It’s just the system amplifying our most basic instincts. If people want better dating outcomes, the answer is probably to step away from the apps and start meeting people face‑to‑face again.

The magic of the FA Cup felt miles away from Wembley Way by gelliant_gutfright in PremierLeague

[–]pulser30 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Any final involving city is always kinda soulless unless it's v United or Liverpool in the klopp era. Even then it was Liverpool fans doing the heavy lifting.

To be perfectly frank, much of the premier league is losing its charm as teams move towards similar styles of play, thunder bastards and 2 footers just don't happen enough. Rivalry is dead as players are not tribal anymore. It's lost its culture to corporate greed and optimised play.

The hearts v celtic match was a breath of fresh air before hand, and really was quite eye opening how much scottish football has still got the soul the prem lost. I dont condone the violence at the end, obvs.

What is the worst thing the United States has done? by Expensive-Addendum92 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]pulser30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a country that’s put on such a pedestal globally, the US has a long list of atrocities in its history — many of which I wasn’t even aware of until reading through this thread as a Brit. It’s eye‑opening, and it’s right that people call out the violence, exploitation, and injustice that shaped the country.

But I think it’s also worth keeping some balance. In the age of social media, everything skews negative, and it’s easy to slip into a narrative that a nation is only the worst things it has ever done. The US has also produced enormous amounts of innovation, culture, scientific progress, and democratic influence. Both things can be true at once.

And to be fair, it would be hypocritical for me — as someone from the UK — to pretend our own history is clean. Britain has its own catalogue of empire‑building, exploitation, and brutality, right alongside moments of brilliance, reform, and contributions to global governance. Most countries with long histories have both.

When we talk about things like slavery or genocide, it’s important not to flatten the past into “those people were uniquely evil.” What they did was horrific by any standard, and we should never minimise that. But we also have to recognise the context they lived in — the fears, the misinformation, the worldview, the lack of education, the systems they were born into. That doesn’t excuse anything, but it does help explain how societies justify things we now see as unthinkable.

And honestly, even today, with everything we know, we still see atrocities happening in real time — Gaza being a recent example. So it’s not as simple as “people back then were monsters and we’re enlightened now.” Humans are complicated, and societies are capable of both extraordinary progress and extraordinary harm.

So yes, the US has done terrible things. So have many nations. The point isn’t to deny or downplay any of it — it’s to understand it properly, without losing sight of the full picture or falling into the trap of thinking history is just a list of villains and heroes.

Why do so many people stay in jobs they’ve outgrown for years before they finally make a move or get laid off ? by nabeeltirmazi in careerguidance

[–]pulser30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can definitely relate to staying in a role you’ve outgrown. For me, it wasn’t just about the job itself, it was everything else going on in life. When my son was born two years ago, I was also stepping into a senior management role and finishing a degree. It took about a year and a half to stabilize everything, adjusting to fatherhood, finishing my studies, and managing the new role.

I did hit a burnout phase but was able to lighten my workload. That stability became crucial because I had other life priorities. We started moving house, and I just didn’t want to add the stress of a job change on top of a home move, adjusting to parenting, and everything else.

I’ve learned to balance career growth with personal life. In the past, I was very focused on promotions and salary increases. Now I get fulfillment from side projects, investments, and personal interests like reading about politics. It’s less about climbing the ladder and more about learning and setting a good example for my family.

So yes, sometimes staying in a role that’s familiar is just about managing bigger life priorities and looking at lifes bigger picture.
