Ed is great but I feel sorry for how many times he’s had to say GPU’s over the last month.
He’s the only one as far as I’ve noticed who’s pointing all this out. There must be others I suppose.

Mo Bitar is another, he is mentioned early on in the piece @visuals0und linked above (which is an enjoyable read over tea). Mo makes me laugh. Anyhow, we’ve been told to go in hard with AI and have obviously been given a decent enough budget per person at $500. I tend to have really great hyperfocus when I need to so thought I’d jump in given a) I was told x was needed by end May and b) y (AI) is the way to get it done. Hey, why not.
I’m in a weird position where I’m rapidly moving from a Senior DBA role to god-knows-fucking-what-next. All strangely chaotic for what feels like no reason. I’m tired and it’s a lot of baloney.

Grim stats. Why is this ok again?
Jesus Christ that’s depressing on a couple of levels. I’d happily call myself a Luddite at this point, I detest “AI”.

I’ve burnt through $650 of Claude tokens in under a month. Drinking water by the barrel, sorry.
It has removed all sense of achievement from my job. The fun went years ago…doesn’t feel like there is much left. I’ll stop moaning.
Mo Bitar is hilarious, I love the deadpan delivery.

So he’s
calling on tech companies operating in the UK to introduce device controls that prevent children from sending and receiving explicit images.
and
announcing that AI tutors will be rolled out to 450,000 children on free school meals to close the attainment gap.
Seems like an odd mix to me.
