Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

Middle Managers, and Project Managers imo have a very short time left.

A report here, an agent there, tools for meetings, rip and process the transcript...done.

Sadly I don't think this is true, I remember reading something a few years ago about how most chat bots have to be trained not to.

I think they have to be trained not to be just like they have to be trained to be misogynistic or racist. Just like with humans, it's a learned behavior. You're correct, it's not exclusive to one or just a few. Garbage in, garbage out.

The single biggest reason I end up pulling the plug on a playthrough of various 4X games.

I feel ya. But I keep playing them anyway. I'm in it for the pain.

I once knew a young woman going to college. She was studying to be a project manager, which I didn't know was something you could get a degree in. She complained about the computer courses she had to take. Her argument was "I don't need to know how to do your job. I just need to how to tell you to do it." I thought "Yep, that sounds like a manager." She was young and attractive, whatever she's doing now she's probably very successful at it whether she's good at it or not.

I have a PMP, its a fancy distinction you can get as a "project management professional". Its nowhere nearly as distinguished as passing the BAR, but has a 2X higher fail rate.

Pretty much what you get when you throw the entirety of the internet at them, instead of curated data. Who could have known that was a bad idea? /s

Plot twist, its the only thing keeping people employed lol

Elsewhere on the internet, people are trying to show off how smart they are and own a famously stupid politician's most recent gaffe that they are coming off dumber than him. I think I need to go eat my spam croissant and take an advil.

I'll occasionally stick it out if I can see a possible path through, but if its obvious I'm DOA, I just don't have the mixture of masochism and patience.

I don't know if this needs a thread of it's own. It's a trailer for a trailer for Masters of the Universe.
I don't know if He-Man is the hero we need right now, but this trailer is something I need right now. Ahhhh the nostalgia.

The responses to the news that Greta Gerwig's Narnia movies start with The Magicians Nephew makes me weep for everyone's English teachers.

"Hur, it happened first chronologically, so of course you should make that movie first" is a real failure to understand how storytelling works.

I really like The Magicians Nephew, but most of its power comes from the reader finally understanding a lot of Narnia's mysteries. Without that build up, a lot of it is just "OK, cool, someone threw a piece of a London street lamp to the ground in Narnia, whatever."

(Also, the reordering of the books to make Magicians Nephew #1 -- which is probably the real reason why it's being filmed first -- is due to a shady dude attaching himself to the Lewis estate and figuring out that he can get a piece of the pie if they now publish renumbered collections with the "definitive" order or whatever BS they're calling it.)
