"Do we spend too much time looking at our screens and too little looking into human eyes?"

This is not a very easy period for me. Even though I try to stay positive, I have worries and things that keep me tense, so my mind often looks for an escape toward more positive thoughts.
The BSD Cafe, the illumos Cafe, the wonderful friends from the Fediverse and the BSD community, and many of them also in real life. Because for me the digital world and the physical one are closely interconnected. And that's fantastic.

That is exactly why I am not ashamed to say that today, when I arrived at the office to meet the insurance adjuster, I found a package waiting for me. I already knew part of what was inside, but two other items, the ones in the photo here, even though the chocolates were not for me but for my wife, were a surprise. They were unexpected and I admit I was moved while opening it.

Thank you. Truly, thank you. Because I do not need AI telling me I am right even when I am wrong, but human beings whose warmth can be felt even across many, many, many kilometers.

If you're using AI to replace Human company then you are in a bad place and the Oligarchs will control you.

#AIPartners are a thing. Not sure how I feel about that. Seems hollow, but maybe it makes a difference to someone who needs it.

The death of the customer service hotline

Companies often prioritize cost-savings over #customer #satisfaction when it comes to #CustomerService. They may eliminate call centers and substitute with #chatbots, but this can lead to a lack of #trust from customers who want the option to speak to a human. In turn, customers may become angry or frustrated, and start to use social media to complain.

Timberline Lodge apres ski around the fireplace. Before social media and smart phones. Pretty quiet these days
