Hi all, I am Tormod 🇳🇴🇸🇪 (he / him)

My days are spent as a consultant in enterprise IT organizations, mainly focusing on teamwork and the people side of delivery. In particular with coaching, processes and enabling teams to work better together across departments and vendors.

My passions are in the areas of #photography, #graphicdesign, #typography and #music. And, of course, family ❤️

Happy to talk to anyone, and I will assume you're awesome until proven otherwise.

Must say, I AM quite fond of the cheeky AI living in my weather app.

Oops, I fell asleep on the bed for two and a half hours. Came down to find Tom and the cat also asleep. Has somebody cast a spell on the house?

Pollen does that to me sometimes. Not sure which one exactly, but certain days are just like breathing in areosolized sleeping pills.

No, LinkedIn, I don't think I will turn this comment into a blog post, as I have some serious doubts about it making me appear to be leading the conversation.

@anderseknert

You're on a roll, Anders, increase your visibility as an industry thought leader!

(They even have AI that can help you write the post, but apparently no AI that can read your comment to understand it might not be the ultimate game changer.)

Listening to Billy Joel's “52nd Street“ album and suddenly wonder... “what's this Steely Dan track doing here, am I on some weird shuffle? Doesn't really sound like Fagen vocals though…”

Turns out I was listening to track 4, “Zanzibar” - clearly inspired by the west coast dudes 🎹

Windows Recall…just…good god.

The phrase “Microsoft jumped the shark” just doesn’t feel strong enough. Can we say Microsoft fucked the shark?

I have been hearing about this type of service being in the works for years. The “productivity pundits” have been discussing it quite a bit on their podcasts, so yeah... someone was thinking to basically record everything into a massive “browser history” equivalent for your life.

They also mentioned wearing body cams to take photos with a similar frequency, so maybe that Humane AI pin will get a second life as your personal surveillance cam :)

I also recall this was the plot of a "Black Mirror” episode (or some other show) made with the main premise based on this type of tech.

@airwhale@mastodon.social avatar

@mmby @inthehands @Rycaut

I really can't say, it never made sense to me either.

The angle I heard discussed was more to close the absent-mindedness of your brain. "I know I talked to Pete about something important last week, but can't really remember… let me rewind.”

People basically wanted a synthetic photographic memory with instant recall, so record everything.

Of course, anyone would drown in heaps of totally irrelevant and meaningless non-data.

If anyone’s wondering when it stops, from all the evidence I’ve gathered so far it doesn’t.

It just doesn’t stop.

She probably was not aware, but she was my imaginary girlfriend for a while there in the early 80s. I believe she had carrot coloured hair on the poster I had pinned up... Such a rebel.

Another theory is that life itself is a sexually transmitted disease with 100% mortality rate, so take care out there!

“Overseas” is such a terrible and unspecific term. Everywhere is overseas to somewhere else.

Don't know how much time you've got left, but I was properly moved by a visit to Pere Lachaise Cemetery. Went for the tomb of Jim Morrison, but also, so many other celebreties are resting there.

A truly magical place, best visited during daylight probably...
