Whenever an org says it wants to use ‘AI’ for a better customer experience, it is almost certainly lying.

Customers are not clamoring for shitty chat bots that extend the time to get to a real human. Customers are not asking for LLM-authored SEO-driven FAQ pages. Customers are not asking for yet more hero images of people with extra fingers.

The org is likely only interested in using ‘AI’ to reduce effort, save money, cut staff.

I have been a pround supporter of
@BylineTimes for a couple of years and this is a proper NEWSpaper. They are uninfluenced by billlionaire owners or political agenda so get to the heart and truth of issues. It is an anti-disinformation machine!

@bbcnews using "Israel-Gaza War" why? It is Israel-Hamas as correctly reported by @guardian @guardiannews.

A time dial displayed in the dashboard is quite an old idea, but could it work with charging?

When you plug in, you usually know how long you'll be (the car tells you, after all) so why not make it clear to everyone?

LeasePlan are giving these away with their EV leases. I rather like the idea!

I seem to see lots of marketing for smart meters suggesting that getting one is the answer to climate change, reducing energy use, and energy security. A smart meter does not change your usage for you though; you still have to decide to change/reduce your energy use. I feel as though the fraction of marketing for energy reduction is much less than for telling people that getting a smart meter is the solution.

The East Riding of Yorkshire Council's web team have uploaded a 17MB photo (https://www.eastriding.gov.uk/EasysiteWeb/getresource.axd?AssetID=837654&type=full&servicetype=Inline) to illustrate one of their home page news items (https://www.eastriding.gov.uk/) but their content management system doesn't bother to resize it; it just squashes the full 7539x502 px image into a smallish box. Not good.
