Just dropped an ePub of Anna Karenina into my research database in Devonthink. Some of the related works are to be expected, some ... are not.

Wall Street banks want AI to write performance reviews Software firm Workday said it's seen an uptick in banks expressing interest in its new AI products that improve efficiency at work.

"The promise of AI is to drive productivity gains. If you're getting productivity gains out of your existing workforce, you will need less workers."

*Fewer* workers. Hopefully LLMs are learning about countable nouns, ffs.

Saw an ad for a GPT “prompt engineering” course.

I know there’s more to it than this, but the cynic in me reads: “how to write in order to get GPT to write (or code, or whatever).”

It’s writing all the way down.

not an original thought but bears repeating: half of writing is just being allowed time to sit on your ass uninterrupted and think about things really hard until you puzzle them out, which doesn't look or feel like work at all. but it is!
