The image shows a freshly baked loaf of bread resting on a black wire cooling rack. The bread has a golden-brown crust with a dusting of flour on top, indicating it has been recently baked. The loaf is elongated with a slightly irregular shape, typical of artisanal bread, and features a prominent slash on the top, which has opened up during baking, creating a pattern that suggests it was scored before baking. The background includes a white countertop and a wooden dining table with a chair, suggesting a home kitchen setting. The lighting is soft and natural, highlighting the texture and color of the bread.

Wow. Dial it back a bit!

Ok so, good that it quoted the energy use: handy for if I'm ever in a big rush but otherwise I'll stick with my own shonky descriptions and the occasional joke in my alt text

During a short break from blogging, I rediscovered the appeal of photo printing. The anticipation of testing the print quality led to thoughtful discussions about framing options. Find out how I choose frames that enhance the beauty of nature photos and add a personal touch to my workspace.

Study looking at AI chatbots in 7,000 workplaces in Denmark finds β€˜no significant impact on earnings or recorded hours in any occupation.’

On average employees saved about 3% of their time.

This matches the anecdotal experiences with AI usage in tech I’ve heard from friends. It’s a productivity booster but savings are at best 10% not enough gains to claim one can replace workers.

this is the ultimate enshitification ... it doesn't matter that AI can't signifcantly replace humans, they'll do it anyway. All of us will have to deal with it anyway:(
in reply to Dare Obasanjo

Seems like an overbroad conclusion - "workers who use AI to help them in their jobs only gain a little productivity" is not the same as "AI can't replace workers".

Seems to ignore the possibility of jobs that AI can be targeted specifically at replacing workers wholesale, rather than helping workers. For example, customer service chatbots. Obviously there will be human customer service reps remaining, but first-line-of-contact ones might be decimated in some cases.

Note for #PyConUS folks: if you're staying around for sprints and need an evening activity, SECRET MALL APARTMENT is running at the Harris Theater on Liberty Street, a few blocks away from the conference center, until Thursday the 22nd. If you've already gone home, it's not on any streaming service yet, but keep an eye open for it.
