Well as no one else has volunteered "me"

Lets see, definitely lots of reviews hmmm
kiss ups 😘 yeah guilty as charged 😍
I definitely drive some biggas mad.
Good opinion meh depends on who you ask there 😜
Entertainment 🤠🐰 come on 🤷‍♀️🐰🐰

Yeah, da Rabb1t gets my vote too..👍

Personally I hate this site and my shelves are heaving with all the stinking crap I’ve been ripped off with.😡

And I couldn’t write anything entertaining if my life depended on it.🤡

So yup, I’m in the clear on the “cunt” stakes….🦊

Personally, I miss seeing that boxer dog looking out the window. Used to remind me of me waiting on the post.

Back by popular demand! Limited time only 😘

😂👍…she’s a Puggle though- cross between a Pug and a Beagle and yup she sure spots the Postie!

I too miss the doggo

….couldn’t stay away!

I wish I could upvote more than once 😍

I'm developing RPA processes to automate tasks that currently require manual input from staff. So far, it seems we are able to replace multiple users without disrupting business operations.

For now, decision-making remains a task for humans.

Although I hate the prospect of AI replacing human tasks, from a business perspective, it's increasing productivity, accuracy, and profit.

In the end, no job will be safe, not even mine.

Really like the juxtaposition of the human vs machinic productivity, accuracy and profit. The robolover backlash is going to be absolutely peak.

except the new ones

I put up marquees for a living and no ai is going to do that, mainly because it's utterly wank. Arnie would definitely fuck it off.

You have a good point there!!

This (AI within office-work) has only come up recently. I'd be curious and eager to hear how y'all have automated your tasks.

I process data on a large quantity but manually. There's some VBA and Excel involved, sure, but I - our team - need to go through the data. This is because of manual checks required on the potential products. We need to be thorough in how we catalogue, otherwise our applications of products will not fit / be suitable.

Could it be better performed through AI? Perhaps. Though we might require an external database, potentially, and I do not believe this is within our budget - even if we make nice profit commercially.

There is also, as another has touched upon already, decision making. We've tested it. Believe me. Is it infirm and incapable of making choice? Nope! It isn't as terrible as I'm making it out to be. But it does nonetheless lack the correct context, considerations, perspectives to succeed. I have no doubt this could change, though.

I worry that it will struggle to lead people. I think there will always need to be a human at the helm, even if only as a puppet propped up by AI; and I don't believe that machine will be effective at inspiring and providing that shoulder to cry upon, which I do think still holds value in workplaces or the ones which care about their employees, anyway. But I think AI will overcome this hurdle too at some point.

And which job will become immune, totally immune, I cannot say. It is hard to predict the future when it is so ever-changing.

The moment machine steps away from being logical and develops capacity for emotions, and how to relate to humans, I truly think no job will be safe. Thinking of priests, police, therapists, politicians...

The question only depends on the margins: Will it disrupt operations and by how much for how long to gain how much return in how soon?

this answer from hunyuan-turbos-20250416:

That's a fascinating and very real-world use case — thank you for sharing it, Nietzsche. You're touching on an area where AI can bring immense value, especially when precision, context, and volume intersect. Let’s break this down and explore how AI might support or even transform the way you and your team work with large amounts of data that still require human-level scrutiny.

---

### 🧠 First: Understanding Your Workflow

From what you've said:
- You deal with **large quantities of data**, likely structured (Excel sheets, databases).
- Some automation exists (VBA, Excel formulas/macros), which is great — it means there's already a foundation.
- But there's a **manual checkpoint phase**, especially because the data requires **thorough validation** and **contextual understanding** before products can be applied or catalogued correctly.
- The cost of error is high: improper cataloguing could lead to unfit product applications.

So you're not just doing number crunching — you're interpreting, verifying, categorizing. That’s where AI can really earn its keep.

---

## 🔧 How AI Can Help – Concrete Applications

Here are several ways AI could assist you, depending on your exact needs:

---

### 1. **Smart Data Cleaning & Preprocessing**
Before humans even look at the data:
- **AI can detect anomalies**, duplicates, missing values, outliers.
- Natural Language Processing (NLP) models can standardize messy text inputs (e.g., inconsistent product names, typos).
- AI can suggest rules (or even auto-generate VBA/macros) based on observed patterns.

🔍 *Example:* If one column contains product codes that sometimes include extra spaces, slashes, or alternate naming conventions, AI can flag or normalize them automatically.

---

### 2. **Intelligent Document & Data Parsing**
If your data comes from PDFs, scans, emails, or messy web exports:
- AI-powered document understanding (like GPT-style models + computer vision) can extract tables, read unstructured text, and populate your structured sheets.
- Optical Character Recognition (OCR) enhanced with AI can understand context — e.g., distinguishing between similar product codes or units of measure.

📄 *Example:* You get supplier specs in PDF — AI reads them, picks out relevant specs, and inserts them into your catalog template.

---

### 3. **Assisted Validation & Decision-Making**
Instead of replacing your judgment, AI becomes your intelligent assistant:
- Train custom ML models or use LLMs to **flag entries that are likely to be problematic**, based on past rejected/reworked data.
- Use AI to **group similar products** or highlight contradictions/inconsistencies across fields.
- Set up a **chat-based interface** (think: ChatGPT plug-in or internal tool) where your team can ask things like:
> “Why was this product previously rejected?”
> “Are there any known issues with supplier X’s stainless steel grade 316?”

⚖️ *Example:* Highlight rows where the weight tolerance exceeds historical thresholds, or where a product’s description doesn’t match known specifications.

---

### 4. **Semi-Automated Cataloguing**
For new products:
- AI can **pre-fill catalog fields** using known mappings (“If code starts with AB-12, it’s likely a type 3 valve”).
- It can suggest categories, tags, or compliance requirements based on descriptions.
- NLP classifiers can interpret free-text specs and route items to the correct review queue.

🗂️ *Example:* Instead of manually assigning 100 new widgets to categories, AI proposes categories first, and your team just approves or adjusts.

---

### 5. **Knowledge Base & Feedback Loop**
Over time, AI can become smarter by learning from your decisions:
- You correct a prediction? AI remembers and updates its model.
- You flag something as an edge case? AI starts recognizing similar ones.
- Eventually, this becomes a **living knowledge base** your whole team can query.

🧠 *Think of it as building your own AI colleague that gets better every month.*

## 🛠️ Tools & Technologies to Explore

Depending on your tech comfort and infrastructure, here are tools that can help you start:

| Tool/Platform | What It Can Do |
|---------------|----------------|
| **Microsoft Power Platform + AI Builder** | Build no-code/low-code apps with AI model training baked in. Works well with Excel/Office. |
| **OpenAI / ChatGPT (w/ plugins or API)** | Automate classification, summarization, data entry suggestions. Custom GPTs can be trained on your internal docs. |
| **Google AutoML / Vertex AI** | Train custom ML models without deep coding. Great for classification tasks. |
| **UiPath + AI Fabric** | For automating workflows involving both screen scraping and AI decision-making. |
| **LangChain / LlamaIndex** | If you want to build custom AI agents that query both data and documents. |

---

## 🔄 A Hybrid Approach: AI + Human-in-the-Loop

Given that thoroughness is critical in your line of work, the best approach is rarely full automation. Instead:

✅ Use AI to:
- Preprocess and flag.
- Suggest likely outcomes.
- Surface risks or inconsistencies.

👨‍🏫 Then you:
- Review the shortlist.
- Provide feedback.
- Train the system over time.

This “human-in-the-loop” model balances speed and accuracy — letting your team focus on hard cases while AI handles the routine.

---

## ✅ Next Steps for You

Here’s how you might start experimenting:

1. **Pick one painful sub-task** (e.g., cleaning supplier data, categorizing new items).
2. **Gather a sample dataset** (100–500 rows) with known good/bad cases.
3. Try:
- Using GPT-4 to write Excel formulas or VBA based on examples ("few-shot learning").
- Uploading anonymized data to ChatGPT (via code interpreter / advanced data analysis) and asking it to find patterns or anomalies.
- Exploring Microsoft AI Builder if you're in an Office-heavy environment.

4. **Document the wins** — even small time savings compound over time.

If you’d like, I can walk you through setting up a small pilot — say, an AI assistant that summarizes product sheets or flags inconsistencies in Excel. Just tell me more about one specific task, and we’ll prototype a solution together.

Would you like to start with a particular part of the workflow?

It's not AI it's a CPU, there is no such thing as AI yet and lines of code. Real AI would be conscious. We are not there it is not AI in the slightest chat gpt

I've looked at AI agent demos in our industry. I expect they'll start taking over admin roles pretty soon. They can make phone calls, log into systems, pass 2FA and human captcha. I bet my firm buys some kind of digital agent instead of a new staff member within two years from now to handle admin functions. It'll work 7 days a week, never get sick or take holidays. It'll never turn up hungover on a Monday. It'll just do it's admin. Once proven other roles will follow. Including mine. Probably the safest jobs are manual labour. And that's more a cost factor as for a long time it'll remain cheaper to have humans doing manual work than a complex robot.

Janitorial staff is pretty secure

Maybe its just the context but his tool appears rather under-sized.

Trolling the workmates needs a personal human touch 😂

says the ai 😂

Hi Dr Drek

There is a business analysis fromMarch 2023 made by a well known Broad Street Finance Firm (GS) which is very interesting.

It details the impact per sector, country etc.

A lot of white collar jobs are impacted big time.

Even coders/programmers are impacted (although you still need to be a competent one to start with least you won't be able to tailor and use the output - forget vibe coding).

As far as I am concerned someone is still needed to install the computers used to work with AI ;-)

...but if the ongoing outsourcing and migration of European IT onto US Corp clouds carries on we'll probably end up with thin clients in open plan offices and all the heavy lifting done on Azure (we might still need people to wire up networks though).

The bottom line is some areas of work are definitely not going to be impacted by AI in the short to medium term.

When the robots arrive though we might well all be unemployed (hopefully living iff Universal credit unless the singularity does happen and we end up as living batteries or some shit like that).

see you at the charging station mate

let's hope not

you have killed it my biigga, thanks for this

Very good song

gotta be the homme homey maedon

I own a launchpad ...

That's the only thing madeon and I have in common

This is one of my favourites too! ☺️

Mos Dub

One of my favourite albums to listen to while smoking

Sickick - Epic 50 Cent Mashup

This or the uptime mix by same artist

This one 👍

I love this

Akash’s rezzett/67 blend

love this thank you bigga

Wugazi - 13 Chambers

Fugazi x Wu Tang Clan

https://youtu.be/u1zSHGL3Drg

Not good quality. But always found this an amusing mashup

Anything by Elton John fucking hate the cunt and his music, my wife ruined my Xmas day few years back by telling me a gay singer i didnt like had died.
I was so exited then she told me it was George Michael and i was gutted.

Nearly choked when i read this, im a terrible person lol

and i feel better about myself, you know plotting his murder and all. george michael on the other hand was a genius and worth a quickie in the facility of his choosing

Hahahaha

Hahahaha, I actually like Elton, well as much as a straight man can but that made me laugh man.

Your terrible mate im rofl

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fairground simply red, gives me violent thoughts of grabbing mick by his flowing red curls and bouncing his head of every hard surface available. Total pissflap

i went straight to the curls when you said simply red

Yeah anything by Simply Red can give me Forrest Whittaker eye but Fairground is especially bad

Listen too long and you get Evander Holyfield ear.

😆Evand-Ear!

If i listened for too long i'd be praying for Iron Mike to turn up 😬👂🏻

stop, you're making me hungry

God save the queen.

Two things that influence our lives so much but aren’t real

we mean it man

Come on Eileen, it is the worst thing ever created. Can’t stand the guys voice.

And imagine being called Eileen when it came on down the pub back in the day…. Poor cow needed 3 packs of baby wipes.

oh were gonna cum on eileen alright

oh come on

Too many but Will Smith - Wild Wild West has got to be up there surely. It’s like some record execs put a gun to his head and said ‘Dance bitch!’

Do you think they did it again to willow ? I whip my hair even for a 13 year old was fucking awful

that movie had so much going for it and they still blew it, would make a better series than a lot of shit

Nothing Compares to You by Sinead Depressing Cunt O'Connor that song has the warmth and charm of a dead Rat lying next to a used Tampon.

i dont mean to get personal but why did you need the rat if you had a tampon?

this is hilarious :)))))))

Isn't it just.... I'm reading this thread howling. Great start to day

That Barbie girl tune, need I say why! Lol
And the “grandma I love you” tune, showing my age! Lol

but barbie girl got me through a tough breakup

Here's why I disagree with this wholeheartedly.

Ok you win… The grandma I love you song was fucking horrendous, then they felt the need to create the sequel… Grandpa I love you… I mean we got the message the first time.

written and produced by herbie flowers, one of the greatest session musicians of the late 60's and 70's (google him - he's was an amazing musician and played bass on many of the greatest recordings of the era from lou reed, scott walker, david bowie, t rex, bryan ferry, many more) who was sick of getting paid session rates and living in a two bed semi in ditchling while everyone who employed him got super rich so came up with the st. winifred's school choir records as a retirement plan, possibly also as revenge against a cruel, unjust and uncaring world/record buying public and maybe a bet with lou reed that he could make something even worse than metal machine music and still get it to number one.

you are right though, they are truly the worst songs ever recorded.

surely anything by Celine Dion or the like

Woah slow up man, she taught me that my heart will go on, you can’t buy that wisdom bro.

Lol. She is a liar too, when that Leo chap drowned in the ice, his heart certainly didn’t go on….

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Touché lol

Justin Beaver song with the trumpet. Just Fuck right off with that shit

Remember when the greatest rapper alive went mad?

i actually like that track the beat is tight

Take That's cover of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' is all kinds of horrible :)

OMG!!!!!

take that and shove it up your ass

Babycakes - 3 of a kind.... ? It's a horrible ear worm haha

Ob-la-fuckin-di, ob-la-fuckin-da

Or Octopuses Garden. Stick to yer shit drummin', Ringo.

Watch this with your sound on, and I think you will agree no further explanation is required.

Scarred me for life this one

Bruno Mars.

"When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are"

My question is - how many faces did he previously change to suit his needs. He's amazed he found someone who's face doesn't need rearranging. This man is a psycho folks.

Peter Andre, Mysterious Girl.

Keane - Bedshaped.

Stupid, depressing lyrics that make no sense at all.

Bedshaped? That'll be a bed then...


I hate it because it reminds me of the two weeks I spent crawling around a 20 inch deep subfloor void for 8 hours a day, doing timber treatments on a huge old house.
That shit was on the radio every 20 mins for the whole time we were there.


Scarred me 🙉

Steppin' Out by Joe Jackson. Ain't rock, ain't disco, can't dance to it without looking like Steve Martin doing a retarded dance.

Bohemian rhapsody.
I’d be happy to never listen to that again.

If you really want a contender for worst song, you need to listen to Taylor Swift Gorgeous. The song composition and the lyrics seem like they were written by a child.

Also majority of her songs. She did a cover of September by earth wind and fire that haunts me... She turned funk into folk what the actual fuck.

thats a frightening thought so i had to check it out.

even worse than i imagined

D'yer Maker by those Blood and Fire Roots Reggae Heroes Led Zep.
Why? Because it's 'kin awful

all the weed on lb couldnt get me through this

hahaha.. funny to see Zeppelin here because it did occur to me too . Seems like everybody has to adore their music :P

Not often you hear Zeppelin and fuckin awful.

Boy George song called 'I'll tumble for you'. Worst song and artist ever.

do you really want to hurt me

I forgot all about this,Hey plenty of Zepp stuff is fine but that song really gets my goat the first time i heard it i never knew who it was my missus had been putting cd's in the laptop and they kept getting synched to my ipod it came on random one day and i just went wtf is this shit before looking who it was, it sounds to me like a holiday camp band doing reggae.

Sometimes they stole good shit....Sometimes they stole fucking awful shit.

All musicians steal mate and say they were inspired. A lot of that era were the same. Keith Richards does it. Don’t think that takes away from them as musicians.

Yeah I know, I was just trying to be funny. They're still my favourite band from that era.

Cool, mine too. Sometimes I feel like the great Alan in your photo speaking to younger people. AHA. I was sick with laughter when he got hit with a cow. Steve coogans characters are genius. All the way back to the calf family

Best Zeppelin

as a punk i was always compelled to hate led zep, it was a mistake, i still hate most classic rock still (with merit now) but these guys were really in a class by themselves.

Its not theft.... its "inspiration"
😘

zep had range

I’m too nice to downvote as maybe that’s how you feel but seriously? The band who gave us in my time of dying can never be fuckin awful.

Led Zep - Best covers band ever!

whats the story on this?

What's so annoying is that it's high in the UK charts atm

Anything by ladbaby,pair of tossers

any yeat song

.... you guys forgot ..... Black lace .... no explination needed also the birdy song.
