Deployed how? People who ask AI to "Write me a clone of Twitter" are incapable of deploying code.

You forget content "moderation" with AI, which can result in getting banned from using Adobe products and reported to the authorities if their AI "thinks" you are breaking law.

In my experience AWS Textextract does a pretty good job without using LLMs.

Why would it be? Their only concern is IPO.

You could ingest them with AWS Textract and have predictability and formatting in the format of your choice. Using LLMs for this is lazy and generates unpredictable and non-deterministic results.

Good. You cannot have a functioning society where decisions are made in a non-deterministic way. Especially when those decision deviate from agreed protocols (laws, bylaws, contracts, etc.).

This insistence of using only human intelligence reminds me of the quest for low-background steel.

Microsoft is trying to stay relevant and have an answer to Wall St analysis asking them questions about their AI strategy. They will delete AI tools and helpers as soon as the industry goes after another "big idea".

Banks sell one thing--debt. Many have tried to "disrupt" that industry, but all attempts boil down to: getting a cut of payment fees or getting paid to resell debt. All "innovation" in this sector is done by crossing fin

When I see an ad for a hybrid role that pays £200 pd inside IR35 I know it is designed to "prove" that there are no suitable candidates interested in it in the UK.

These schemes were used by high-profile celebs, not ordinary IT contractors. Most of the cases brought up by HMRC related to contracting are against umbrella companies or people who tried to be "clever" on a much smaller scale, ce

It started in 2019 with the introduction of IR35 legislation. HMRC scared the living daylights out of clients using contractors, they even went after the government contractors. That opened the market to umbrella companies and large consult

This is based on my own experience and conversations with hiring managers and recruiter over the last two years. I have also been involved in screening CVs. It's impossible to keep up with the flood of fake CVs.

Most contract jobs went to big consultancies who benefitted from a change in legislation related to contracting. That resulted in lowering of contract rates at first, then shipping large numbers of offshore contractors to the UK from non-EU

FYI: It takes between 3-12 months to find a contract in the UK in the IT space now.

The reason you are getting spammed is because a) agencies are trying to secure an interview before they have a candidate; b) they are trying to convince you to use their offshore teams. Ask around inside your company if any offers from offs

I still don't know why book publishers do not create a global platform for ebook distribution. It's not expensive and they'd get to keep all of the profits.

Wow. I love this! Not least because this is so incomprehensible to the British property developers on so many levels...

Someone still sees Eastern Europe as a provider of cheap brainpower. This is insulting.

There's an argument that it is unwise to fleece your customer so hard they don't come back again.

I wish AI companies' CEOs would leave creatives alone. They really know nothing about artists' journey, struggle, development, ups and downs... the whole story that makes artists interesting and lets fans connect with them.

LinkedIn has a DEI jobs category in their Jobs section. How is that a qualification to do a job?

"Social justice" is a perversion of justice. Eastern Europe and other countries that tried communism used social justice as an excuse to eradicate middle and upper classes through mass murders, incarceration, confiscation of prope
