Stuff like this really needs sourcing.

No idea, I moved away and moved on. Have a great life. Don’t care what the others are doing. Hope they’re well.
Wife does the same thing. She wears it all but for an hour in the morning while getting ready. I HATE wearing mine overnight. I’m device free, but I also sleep great so I don’t bother tracking it. Makes a great alarm clock. Battery life for both of us has never been an issue.
I live in an at will employment state and have been a manager for quite some time. I’ve never seen an employee actually terminated for their protected status race, religion, etc. It’s always been because they had poor performance and/or attendance issues and didn’t want to get better. If you aren’t a solid average then it’s develop up or out. This isn’t my POV, this is the reality of the performance conversations I’ve been involved with. Personal accountability is a major problem these days. If you have none then you won’t have a job for long. The good news is that if you’re solid in those areas then you will be valuable to your employer. This is why so many military applicants get picked up. They have a basis for attendance and completing the mission.
Having said that, I’m sure you’re correct and discrimination does happen because their employer lied. I just think that it doesn’t happen quite as often as believed. Many poor performers I’ve known have outright lied about why they were actually terminated.
Fair point.
It’s not ChatGPT like, it is ChatGPT, specifically GPT-4o.

So, Apple is using the latest version of the best LLM out there and its opt-in. That’s a hugely different approach as you mentioned.
They absolutely do not learn and we absolutely do know how they work. It’s pretty simple.
Generative AI needs massive training sets that represent the kinds of things it’s asked to represent. Through the process of training, the AI learns the patterns in the data and can generate new data that fits within those patterns. It’s statistics all the way down. In the case of a Large Language Model (LLM) it’s always asking itself, “what’s the next most likely word to come after this previous word, and does that next word make sense within the context of the other words in the sentence?” The LLMs don’t necessarily understand a text as a text; that is, as a sequence of ideas unfolding logically but rather as a set of tokens that carry statistical weights.
Saw the headline and thought, “this is what the US has to look forward to this year.” We love to one-up everyone else. Oh god.
Small note pad for work today todos. Anylist for groceries, shared lists for my family. Monday board for specific work shared by other teams.
My favorite is pen and paper. Throwing away a full sheet is so satisfying and helps me feel accomplished. I came from big retail and I miss the satisfaction of tangible proof of what the team accomplished. This helps me stay grounded in my new industry.
The problem I have with digital is notification overload and that’s with notification restrictions on many teams and slack groups. I also don’t like how lists don’t stick out. A piece of paper can be moved to a spot on my desk I’ve deemed as priority. I’m a very visual and physical space person so that sticks in my mind better than a task on a screen, even if I can take it with me. To me the task that is synced between my laptop and phone may as well be different. I know they aren’t but somewhere subconsciously they are and that makes them less useful.
I will say that my role isn’t all office. It’s a mix of office and field which makes having all digital tasks less useful. I could see programmers or remote jobs as digital working since you may have a job that is stationary.
My problem with digital is that it's too easy to forget about. When I mark things down on paper, specifically index cards, they start to stack up and I feel motivated to reduce the clutter they create. Throwing out ten index cards because I got shit done feels good.
This is exactly how I feel.
Everyone I know who travels for business already is. Any do much about what plane you fly in though.

Shows a diagram of how it works. Pretty neat.
