This was really fast to install and setup. It was really intuitive, and I liked the ability to set bookmarks and quickly jump back and ahead in the script. I could definitely see myself using this when recording online videos. There are a few features that I would love to see in the next version: 1) ability to change default font size and speed 2) if would be fantastic if we could quickly...

I think the biggest challenges is promoting mentorship - providing enough support to new employees. In person, they can get little micro-doses of encouragement and advice, and can see how their colleagues work together. Working remotely you need to proactive in scheduling regular check-ins and really work hard to build that open communication and trust. More experienced employees might enjoy...

I think the one question folks are afraid to ask is about how to handle potential job losses and inequality in access to technology. AI will automate a lot of tasks and create efficiency, but will the benefits of that revolution be distributed evenly and fairly.

Definitely. I agree that this ties back to a lack of representation in tech leaders. Diversity in leadership and ideas helps us better serve the diversity of our customers.

Slack. It is the one app that allows my team to work and communicate remotely.

Twitter / X. It is just in a downward spiral and losing relevance every week.

I would want to be traveling, seeing a different location and city each week.

Roundtrees Fruit Pastilles, specifically the Blackcurrent variety. I end up eating them by the roll.

Merry Christmas! I hope folks enjoy their days of rest before diving into an exciting new year, hard at work building new technology.

Monica does a wonderful job. of seamlessly integrating into your daily browsing activities, jumping in to summarize, reword, or search when needed. Even the free tier provides plenty of functionality, also allowing you to customize thresholds to control how often you use your credits.

Probably 15-30 min on a regular day. Mostly I review the top products, particularly for new AI, productivity, or training tools. Then I review the top discussions, if there is something interesting I will dive deeper and spend more time.

Given the vast impact that climate change is going to have on our lives, I would definitely prioritize working on projects that could have some positive benefit in this area. I would be really interested in companies that are using AI and technology to make a difference.

More ability to customize generative results. This will include seeing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) in all sorts of software to allow you to search and summarize your existing documents. I expect to see Microsoft and Google pushing out a lot more in-house AI into their own productive office suites. This will bring AI to to people who don't currently use ChatGPT or other AI assistants...

I just passed into the top 100. PH does a good job with the gamification of the social platform with streaks and points. I am glad to see how it continues to grow and expand.

The hardest problem is staying focused and committed. It is always tempting to chase many different clients at once that can spread your resources too wide.

1. Rephrasing an existing document to hit a specific word count. 2. Creating command line prompts for useful tools like ffmpeg. This is really useful when you don't want to search all the documentation. 3. Since I would at an AI video company, we also create lists of questions for interviews. Ie give me 100 questions kids would ask Santa Clause.

First of all it helps to have a plain language terms and conditions but most applications still do t do a good job of explaining what data they are gathering and why.

"Tell Me Inge" allows anyone to talk to a Holocaust Survivor, Inge Auerbachuer. Here are some of my favorite questions to ask her: "What was the night that changed everything?" "Tell me about the day you had to say goodbye?" "Tell me about a terrible journey?" "What happened to your grandmother?" "Can you read me a poem?" You can also just look around ask ask about the various objects and...
