  • I mostly agree with you. And I commend your principles.

    Some of your examples need improving is all I’ll say.

    Like sending a white guy to the equator for a decade. Okay fine, they go dark skinned. But bring him back up north and he is white again. Send a super dark skinned guy far north and he will get somewhat paler, so it works both ways. But they retain that difference because they are different.

    We have developed differences mostly based on our origin in the world, be it Asian, African, Egyptian, Indian, etc, but we are such an internationally mixed people the differences are meaningless.

    We are all different, I don’t know how you can deny that. And some differences can depend on where your ancestors are from.

    If it’s not “race” then is there another way of describing it?

    In animals we call it breeds. Sounds weird.

    I think as an advanced species we should be capable of ascending beyond the descriminating behaviour based on origin. I know it’s possible as I can. Seeing other people first reactions to meeting people get described with race undertones is alien to me and feels disrespectful.

  • I’ve not used zoom but the copilot (teams premium) version of this isn’t much better.

    I’ve had it imagine extra points of discussion that never happened. I’ve had it add names of people to the summary that not only weren’t in the meeting but aren’t known to any of the participants.

    At first look it is very impressive and we were able to convince the business to purchase the licences. But now that we try to rely on it, we find we have to fully scrutinize the output. Sometimes having to relisten to the recorded meeting to check accuracy.

    I’ve resorted to making my own notes and then comparing with the AI summary. But then I ask myself what’s the point?
