It works and looks awesome. Only thing I find annoying is the random crashes in Amber when using it for signing events.

Well, there is truth in it. Owning stuff is more likely to make you unhappy...

The Dutch think differently about this, especially roads.

Ask yourself this: what master am I obeying to? Obsession with #freedom is still #slavery

It was never about any character of God. It is the Godlike experience when reasoning and thoughts fade away and only emptyness is left. Some call it meeting God, some call it something else, but the experience is real...or whatever real may be. Stop trying to understand and start understanding.

The Dutch text on the crane as well as the overall vibe of the surroundings gave it away kinda 🤣

If you listen carefully, you can here the sound of cracks forming over the bubble's sphere.

Not wearing them atm, but yes! 🙋Running, walking and casual.

Glad to see them wearing suits

Plebs from #Vienna: what are nice tips to see and do as a tourist with children in your beautiful city? Planning on a visit in spring. #asknostr

It truly inspiring to see all you passionate, hardworking devs building out the #Nostr! Just because you believe others deserve a better way of staying in touch and sharing experiences together! Or just because you're having fun. #GM, #GD and #PV 🫡🤙

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees. $30 per seat per month. $1.4 million annually. I called it "digital transformation." The board loved that phrase. They approved it in eleven minutes. No one asked what it would actually do. Including me. I told everyone it would "10x productivity." That's not a real number. But it sounds like one. HR asked how we'd measure the 10x. I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards." They stopped asking. Three months later I checked the usage reports. 47 people had opened it. 12 had used it more than once. One of them was me. I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds. It took 45 seconds. Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations. But I called it a "pilot success." Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail. The CFO asked about ROI. I showed him a graph. The graph went up and to the right. It measured "AI enablement." I made that metric up. He nodded approvingly. We're "AI-enabled" now. I don't know what that means. But it's in our investor deck. A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT. I said we needed "enterprise-grade security." He asked what that meant. I said "compliance." He asked which compliance. I said "all of them." He looked skeptical. I scheduled him for a "career development conversation." He stopped asking questions. Microsoft sent a case study team. They wanted to feature us as a success story. I told them we "saved 40,000 hours." I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up. They didn't verify it. They never do. Now we're on Microsoft's website. "Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot." The CEO shared it on LinkedIn. He got 3,000 likes. He's never used Copilot. None of the executives have. We have an exemption. "Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction." I wrote that policy. The licenses renew next month. I'm requesting an expansion. 5,000 more seats. We haven't used the first 4,000. But this time we'll "drive adoption." Adoption means mandatory training. Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches. But completion will be tracked. Completion is a metric. Metrics go in dashboards. Dashboards go in board presentations. Board presentations get me promoted. I'll be SVP by Q3. I still don't know what Copilot does. But I know what it's for. It's for showing we're "investing in AI." Investment means spending. Spending means commitment. Commitment means we're serious about the future. The future is whatever I say it is. As long as the graph goes up and to the right. https://x.com/gothburz/status/1999124665801880032
