    If I get interrupted I never get to make a point.

    When I talk I like to lay out where I’m coming from. Sometimes I need 2 or 3 sentences to make my point. Most people interrupt me in the middle of sentence 1. I don’t bother saying things like “what I actually wanted to say is …” because then I’m interrupted in the middle of sentence 2.

    I hate talking to people. I never interrupt people. I guess people think I have the wildest beliefs and opinions because they never get to hear what I actually want to say.

    I don’t see anyone here making this about hierarchy or anyone claiming that one group of people is “better” (or “worse”) than the others.

    That Gen Z is scoring worse in those tests is a fact. Nobody says that Gen Z is “worse” because of that. If anything this might make previous generations look bad whose decisions lead to the world gen z has to grow up in: The school system, current crises, the pandemic, social media, etc.

    To acknowledge those test results is the key to address what caused those results. Then we can discuss:

    • What did we (yes all of us) do wrong (or right) that lead to this?
    • How to help Gen Z and future generations to unlock their potential
    • Or: Question if those tests are still relevant. Are those skills that were tested actually needed in our current time and are there important skills missing that were not tested?

    Yep. Pretty easy to find if the meeting is tomorrow or next week. But good luck finding the meeting you accepted yesterday that is in (maybe?) 3 months.

    (I know again skill issue because the invite is conveniently stored in the deleted items)

    Also god forbid if people want to have different work flows than Microsoft intended.

    This is true. However, if you simply forbid all “tools” or “actions” that are potentially harmful then there will be very little left the agent can actually do.

    Every tool you give to an LLM agent might be used for “good” or “bad”. To filter malicious actions would need a way to classify the actions with confidence which imo would only work with human supervision.

    However, I still think that the companies that develop such systems should still be responsible for what those systems do: They are the ones who pushed the “release” button on those systems.

    Still?

    In the EU yes and no. Most mobile internet plans here include unlimited SMS and phone calls as well. At least I know very few people who choose to have plans that include ONLY internet and those plans tend to be only marginally cheaper. However, the unlimited SMS and phonecalls (for most plans) only apply for messaging inside the EU. So if you regularly message friends outside EU you again either pay per SMS/call or have to get a more expansive plan that also includes that.

    So overall it’s the most convenient (and mostly cheapest) to do all messaging and calls over mobile data or WiFi
