Ok, step one for automating some activity on my business accounts (ex @wmm ) is done. I will daily post a random image from my work with a short description of the album it came from. I can post to Mastodon, Facebook, and birdsite. Last two were through IFTTT.com. Instagram still confounds me. TBD. #automation#betterlivingthroughtech#photography
「 Prompts to leave 20% at self-checkout machines at airports, stadiums, cookie shops and cafes across the country are rankling consumers already inundated by the proliferation of tip screens. Business owners say the automated cues can significantly increase gratuities and boost staff pay. But the unmanned prompts are leading more customers to question what, exactly, the tips are for 」

I'd like to think that #automation would release people from unhappy, repetitive #work so that they can engage in what they want, and the social interactions could possibly be achieved through #communal establishments (eg. libraries). But we don't live in an utopia, and it's true that we tend to be, often unconsciously, not as aware on issues that we do not experience ourselves.
I cannot rave enough about the power of using ChatGPT to convert a meeting's transcript to decisions made, action items, and deadlines.
I think you can set up Google Meet to send you a meeting's transcript, but there's also services like Otter.ai that do the same. #ai#chatgpt#automation
And so it begins… the great AI job disruption. IBM to pause hiring in plan to replace 7,800 jobs with AI - See, the thing about #AI is that it will not only replace low-end jobs through smart #robotics and #automation, it will also take high-end professional jobs. Some developers, lawyers and accountants/auditors will also lose their jobs. Pair the low-end job loss with the potential high-end job loss and one has the proverbial perfect storm. Begs the question: who will protect worker’s rights in the process and ensure an equitable redistribution of income? https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ibm-pause-hiring-plans-replace-212747073.html
My #KubeCon talk from Amsterdam a few weeks ago is now up on YouTube! The #EUCS — a compliance certification scheme for service providers in the cloud — is on its way, and will have a big impact on how organizations work with #security, #compliance and #automation. A holistic framework like the EUCS provides #policy controls applicable to the whole stack. How would we codify and enforce such rules?
I'm an #IT guy who likes to tinker with stuff. I was in Identity in an #infosec-adjacent role with a lot of stress. Recently moved to an #Automation role which makes me much happier.
I've been married to @MollyBooth for more than 10 years and we have an 8yr old son.
I love all things baseball and am a huge #Braves fan.
I drive an #EV and am happy to talk about that topic as well.
Tired: spending more time automating something than that automation will save you over the course of a year.
Wired: spending more time telling your colleagues about your clever automation than that automation could save anyone over the course of several careers.
