First day of RTO has been quite meh. Way less people than I anticipated and people really have forgotten how to work in a office environment. Everyone’s hogging meeting rooms for the day and they are all yelling in their meetings I guess coz they assume they are in their homes. For this to work, everyone needs to recalibrate how they work.

3 years ago Seattle was all like omg amazon is totally destroying our city and downtown and making everything worse. Today – omg we are so happy your employees are back downtown so our economy improves!

First day of RTO and I hear coughing people. Just go away. Far away. Like far far away from me.

First week of RTO for many companies in the local area has meant the capital beltway has been completely fucked. I am so fucking glad the moment RTO was announced I worked with my manager to move me to a building that’s against traffic and much closer to me than a guaranteed 75+ min drive each way.

Speaking of which our RTO has been ridic. Almost half the company now seems to have exceptions except people who build products. I am one of them. Like what’s my incentive to not find a exception enabled role and move when hiring opens so I don’t have pressure of RTO? Would have been nice if it wasn’t implemented like this and everyone was treated as same.

My cousin who lives in North America pinged me at 4am this morning on WhatsApp. I course missed it coz I have my sleep focus turned on. Ping her latef in day asking her slightly concerned why she pinged me at 4am in morning and if everything was well. Her response was she works night shifts and was free at that time so she decided to ping. My mind is blown 🤯

I am sick and tired of this elongated winter. After a beautiful few weeks of spring its been a miserable wretched winter back again, in fucking May!

This is first sign that the technology works, and it works good enough that even the early adopters (youth) are going for it. This is a great opportunities for EdTech to innovate, not sit there and complain.

Thanks to dad I am being forced to watch the atrocity called IPL. I suppose its not that bad, but its just entertainment, not really sport.

So Geoffrey Hinton quit his cushiony job at Google where he was the VP of AI (and VP positions at Google get paid millions a year), so that he could speak “freely” about dangers of AI? Sure, if I was a VP at FAANG for more than a decade I’d quite too to speak “freely”. The most likely scenario is that he was finally held accountable for being “father” of AI and having missed the chatGPT train completely.
