I recently analysed UK occupation data to see which job categories appear most exposed to current-generation AI systems. The results are probably not what most people here would predict. Using ONS workforce data mapped to ISCO-08 occupation groups, I assigned AI exposure scores based on how much of an occupation's core task bundle can already be completed or substantially augmented by current models and automation systems. The highest score was not software development. It was clerical support work. Clerical occupations scored 8.5/10 across roughly 3 million UK workers. This includes administrative assistants, receptionists, customer service representatives, data-entry workers, call-centre staff, and bookkeeping clerks. The reason becomes obvious when you break occupations into tasks. Modern LLMs are exceptionally good at: Information retrieval Structured communication Summarisation Classification Form completion Draft generation Customer interaction workflows Those capabilities overlap directly with a large percentage of clerical work. Professionals scored 6.5/10. That category includes lawyers, engineers, accountants, analysts, architects, and software developers. What's interesting is that exposure and displacement aren't the same thing. A lawyer using AI to draft contracts becomes more productive. A customer-support department replacing a large portion of repetitive ticket handling with AI may reduce headcount entirely. The underlying capability overlap can be similar while labour-market outcomes are very different. The lowest-risk categories remain occupations requiring physical adaptation to unpredictable environments. Trades and elementary occupations scored between 2.0 and 2.5. One takeaway is that AI discussion often focuses on whether models can write code. The labour-market impact may arrive first through administrative and support functions because those workflows are already highly structured and relatively easy to automate. Curious how others here woul

Introduction Excel is one of the most used tools for data analysis. It allows beginners like myself to easily clean, organize, analyze and visualize data.Excel enables users to work with large datasets and extract meaningful insights without requiring advanced technical skills. What is Excel Excel is a spreadsheet that allows you to collect, organize, analyze, calculate, and visualize data efficiently.Despite the emergence of other data analysis tools like SQL and Power BI, Excel remains one of the most widely used tools for both personal and professional data management.This can be credited to its ease of access, learning, and use. Ways Excel is used in real-world data analysis This week, I had the opportunity to explore how Excel is used in real-world data analysis.I discovered that Excel is not just a basic spreadsheet tool, but a powerful application that helps make sense of data and support decision-making. Data organization and cleaning Excel is used to structure raw data, remove duplicates, and fix errors. This improves data quality, making it easier to analyze and more reliable for decision-making.This improves data quality, making it easier to analyze and more reliable for decision-making. Financial Excel is commonly used in finance to create budgets, calculate profits and losses, and monitor expenses.It helps organizations keep accurate financial records and understand their financial situation. Business decision-making Businesses use Excel to track sales, compare performance over time, and identify trends.This helps managers understand what is working well and what needs improvement. Excel features and formulas In just a week, I have learned several Excel formulas that simplify data management and make working with data more efficient. SUM function The SUM function is used to add a range of values together in Excel, making it one of the most essential tools for quick calculations.It's used to automatically add a range of numerical values together, elimina

Have you ever trained a model that performed beautifully on your training data but fell apart the moment it saw new data? Or perhaps you built something so simple it couldn't even learn the training data properly? These are the classic traps of overfitting and underfitting — and every machine learning practitioner runs into them. In this article, we'll cover what they are, how to detect them, how to fix them, and where the bias-variance tradeoff ties it all together — with real-world examples and code throughout. What is Model Fitting? Model fitting is the process of training a predictive model on a dataset to find the optimal parameters that best capture the underlying patterns in the data. The goal is simple: the model should generalize well to unseen data — not just memorize the training examples. There are three possible outcomes when fitting a model: Outcome Description Good fit Captures underlying patterns, generalizes well Underfitting Too simple, misses patterns even in training data Overfitting Too complex, memorizes noise, fails on new data What is Underfitting? Underfitting occurs when a model is too simple to capture the underlying patterns in the data. It performs poorly on both the training set and on new, unseen data. Think of it like this: imagine asking a child to predict house prices and they only use the rule "all houses cost $100,000." That model ignores all relevant features (size, location, age) and will be wrong almost every time. Why Does Underfitting Occur? Model is too simple : A linear model trying to fit a curved, nonlinear relationship Too few features : Important variables are left out Too much regularization : Penalizing complexity so heavily that the model can't learn anything meaningful Insufficient training : The model hasn't been trained long enough Real-World Example Suppose you're predicting whether an email is spam. If you only use the feature "email length" and ignore word content, sender, and links, your model will underfit —

I'm currently building an AI, specifically a large language model (LLM), using PowerShell. This AI will search the internet for code snippets and create databases. It will also have the ability to adjust and improve its own code. With PowerShell, I'm leveraging its scripting capabilities to automate tasks and manage data efficiently. The AI will integrate natural language processing techniques to understand and generate text, making it more user-friendly. Additionally, I plan to develop a simple interface to allow users to interact with the AI easily and provide feedback for continuous improvement. submitted by /u/Electrical-Tap-9224 [link] [留言]

I’ve been experimenting with automating a few small workflows lately (lead scoring, file handling, etc.) One mistake I keep running into is trying to automate things before the process itself is actually clear. At first it feels productive: - add rules - add scoring - connect tools But over time it just turns into: - patching edge cases - fixing broken inputs - adding more conditions to handle weird situations At some point I realized the problem wasn’t the automation, it was that I didn’t really have a clean “manual logic” to begin with. Once I stepped back and tried to define the process in simple human terms, everything got easier: fewer rules, less complexity, way more stable Feels like automation doesn’t fix messy processes, it just exposes them faster. Curious if others ran into the same thing or if I’m overthinking it. submitted by /u/huncho-mohammed [link] [留言]

This specific undertaking is not fundamentally burdensome in terms of labor; however, this endeavor serves as the crucial support for my unwavering commitment to see it through to its ultimate conclusion. It is precisely the motivation behind my relentless 72-hour shifts and the impetus that prevents me from ceasing my efforts. My affection amidst my grief—my aspiration is to assist others and ensure that the tragedy you experienced is never repeated. Caitlyn Walmsley, RIP. I will love you always.

Two things happened to me this week. First, the shocking power of agentic AI finally hit me at work. Power of God... Second, I read anthropics warning about recursive self-improvement in WSJ. It mentioned how some people are freaking out about the mere suggestion of restricting open source LLMs. It made me wonder if some of us are clueless about how dark the dark side of the power of God could be. I'm proposing a very uncomfortable thought experiment. An edge case. But an unfortunately long and sharp edge. I am asking all you people out there to think of the darkest thing you could see yourself doing with an unchained AI, perhaps at the worst moment in your life... Actually no, I'm not asking that. Let's do this AI style. I want you to imagine the worst version of yourself and then I want you to simulate the worst version of yourself imagining the worst thing they would do at the worst point in their life to their most hated enemy. If people answer honestly, this thread will get very disturbing. I'd ask the moderators not to take it down. It's an exploration of what's soon to be possible. And a conversation not likely to happen unless somebody explicitly prompts it. Its value to public discourse is one of safety. Generally speaking, our public servants are good people. They aren't inclined to let their mind to go where the worst of us might go with this technology. If nobody ever says out loud, how will we know to protect ourselves as a society? submitted by /u/dsfhhslkj [link] [留言]

I'm here to say that Egypt is already part of the AI race. Today, at TokenAI, we announced our first image generation model and the first release in the Horus Lens family: Horus Lens 1.0 . Horus Lens is a family of models specialized in text-to-image generation, forming a dedicated branch of the broader Horus model family developed and owned by TokenAI. This launch marks an important step forward for Egypt's AI ecosystem and highlights the growing role of the region in advancing artificial intelligence technologies. submitted by /u/assemsabryy [link] [留言]

Most AI projects don't fail because of the model. They fail because nobody trusts them enough to use them. Teams spend weeks comparing: GPT vs Claude Agent frameworks Prompt strategies Benchmarks Then the project quietly dies. Not because the AI was bad. Because nobody solved the boring stuff. Things like: Validation Monitoring Human approval flows Error handling Accountability In my experience, improving the model usually gives small gains. Improving trust changes everything. A 90% accurate agent that people trust creates value. A 99% accurate agent that nobody trusts gets ignored. The biggest challenge in AI isn't intelligence. It's adoption. Curious if others have seen the same thing. What actually killed the AI projects you've worked on? submitted by /u/MerisDabhi [link] [留言]

Been using the Artlist AI Toolkit for a while now and honestly just camp out on Nano Banana 2 for image editing and Kling 3.0 for video. Between those two I can pretty much handle everything I need. The toolkit has a ton of other stuff: Veo 3.1, Flux 2.0, GPT Image 1.5, Sora 2, but I haven't felt a strong enough reason to branch out yet. Curious if anyone's actually putting the other models to work or if most people find their two or three go-tos and just stay there. Is Veo 3.1 actually worth trying alongside Kling? And does anyone use the voiceover tools or is that still rough around the edges? submitted by /u/shogunattila [link] [留言]

I'd like to perform the typical operation of giving an AI some text to review and asking it to give me feedback, summarize the document, evaluate the content etc. Except, I want to give it two pieces of text, perhaps two sides of a debate, and I don't want the output to depend on the order of the two inputs. My naive idea is to do it both ways in two separate contexts, then feed those results to each other with a request for convergent results, and repeat until they converge. However, this seems like it would be rather slow and expensive. Are there any existing tools that enable this sort of task without extra tooling and iterative attempts at convergence? submitted by /u/sparr [link] [留言]

TLDR - auto lenders are using AI bots to negotiate insurance settlements with inaccurate information. How can I Captain Kirk them and get a live person on the phone? I am an insurance claims adjuster. Recently, several high-interest auto loan lenders have begun using AI (both through email and phone calls) to dispute the total loss values for our claims. For those of you that have never dealt with a total loss - the value of a vehicle is (usually) determined by seeing what comparable vehicles are selling for on the market, and making adjustments based on the condition, mileage, etc. between those vehicles and the totalled vehicle. If a customer disagrees, they can hire an appraiser and the company will hire an independent appraiser, and the two will come to an agreement. The lender gets paid the amount minus the customer's deductible, and if it doesn't fully pay off the loan, unfortunately the customer will be responsible for the balance. Lately, AI calls and emails have been coming from these lenders disputing the amounts, and often based on egregiously incorrect information. They provide cherry picked comparisons to try to boost the vehicle values, and sometimes they aren't the same year, make, or model. Sometimes mileage and condition isn't factored in, sometimes they are tricked-out show cars someone advertised on a FSBO site. The real problem is, we have to waste our time researching all of this to see if any of the data is correct. When we respond pointing out the flawed comparisons, they only come back with more flawed comparisons. If we argue long enough, they will invoke the appraisal clause on the customer's behalf. Their appraiser is another AI system with a cutesy name. All efforts to reach humans at these lenders are essentially turned away - we are told we need to deal with the system. I am open to any advice you folks have - how can we get these AI systems to basically give up and get us in touch with a real person? I'm not trying to screw anyone out

Now that almost everyone can use AI tools, I’m curious what skill will actually separate people moving forward. Is it prompting? Taste and judgment? Knowing how to verify outputs? Domain expertise? Workflow design? Or something else? My current take is that AI makes execution faster, but it does not replace knowing what good work should look like. The people who can guide, check, and apply AI well may become more valuable than people who only know how to generate outputs. What skill do you think will matter most in the next few years? submitted by /u/GlobalOpsNotes [link] [留言]
