I mean, no, not generally. but the success rate of other tools is much higher. A lot of companies are trying to build these general purpose bots that just magically know everything about the company and have these but knowledge bases, but t

I’m a consultant. Having looked at several enterprises, there’s a lot of work being done to make a lot of things that don’t really work. The bigger the ambition, the harder they’re failing. Some well designed isolated use cases are ok. Most

Sliding things around on a PowerPoint is a lot of nitpicky communication design thinking. It’s still draining.

Not really what I meant. It is up or out, but I don’t really believe the long hours are an effective way to achieve the up. It’s just something a lot of people impose on themselves. The sales and management part only really comes in after y

I am a McKinsey consultant, and I tend to think the people putting in those insane hours are shooting themselves in the foot. It is easier to work longer hours when a hotel takes care of everything for you, but if you’re bragging about how

We use Box to store and share virtually everything, not because it is incriminating, but because sending email attachments is not a secure way to send sensitive data.

Basically every single large organization inevitably becomes paralyzed by the inability to do anything different from the status quo. When you hear the common complaint that “consultants just tell leadership to do what I was telling them to

It’s a partnership. Ultimately the line of people involved in any particular job is extremely short. Unlike in a tech company where the whole company is building a product, consulting companies are thousands of teams doing projects in a sma

Ok. Even if we hold that ridiculous assumption true… so what? Let’s say grandma is explicitly suffering because others are failing her? Your proposed thesis still suggests she does not have justification for choosing death. What does she st

Grandma doesn’t want to share those stories because it hurts to talk and she can’t see well and just generally she’s in a constant bad mood because her life sucks.

What do you need from grandma, who is in constant pain and desires to die?

Sounds to me like your family friend’s mother would have died more pleasantly if euthanasia were legal. There are plenty of ways to pressure people into death, as you have already demonstrated. That’s not going away. Emotional burdens to en

Am I alone in thinking the word “agentic” is dumb as shit? Most of these things seem to just be a system prompt and a tool that get invoked as part of a pipeline. They’re hardly “agents”. They’re modules.

They believe that because Iran is in fact funding military conflict. It is messy geopolitics. There are dire consequences to sitting back and doing nothing. It’s a prisoners dilemma with large moral negative externalities to playing.

This Russian losses are primarily not young people actually. There’s been somewhere in the ballpark of 600-800k casualties (I believe the latter) which has been a huge struggle for the labor force. But, in fairness, it hasn’t been the young

And yet 93% of Hamas’ funding comes from Iran. I don’t believe we should determine who rules Palestine. But I also don’t believe we should allow a hostile state to just bankroll effective seizure of Palestine and the military intimidation o
