Sorry for the self promo but I literally won’t have a job by the end of the year if enough people don’t subscribe. I think we’re doing good stuff!
Chris Schilling@schillingc.bsky.social · yesterdayBelatedly caught up with this (the other Firezide Chats are well worth checking out, btw) and man, it's impressive how Kirk gets his interviewees to really open up. That's not as easy as you might think; there's an art to it.

Someone asked CoPilot to roast the gaming chat at my FTSE30 finance job and it called a guy who’s obsessed with physical media “Captain Blu-ray” and it made me laugh so hard that I think AI is good now.
