You must, you keep posting your all hat no cattle comments on it.

Don't use it solely as an "answer machine" where it does all the thinking and work for you, and then you just regurgitate the results verbatim without even validating them. I could see how the idea that "Well if ai can do this without you, why do I even need you?" could sneak into a manager's head then. Instead use it to enhance and supplement your own work and knowledge, not just as a magic oracle/answer machine.

If Ukraine decides to begin striking Moscow regularly, it would signal a new phase of this war. One that has easy-to-see pathways to tactical nuclear use by Russia.

The core question is, would Russia use tactical nukes if Ukraine were to begin striking Moscow with regularity? What if Ukraine hits the Kremlin?

The world's response could be harsh towards Russia; however, I suspect it might be more muted than we might think. Short of military confrontation, what else is the world going to do to Russia that isn't already being done?

Claude can generate beautiful HTML based dashboards. I recently built a dashboard for one of my area's of responsibility by dropping in 400K rows of salesforce data and having it slice, dice, and visualize the data. What would have taken me a couple of days due to the volume of analysis took a couple of hours of work with claude.

The initial generation was good, but there were lots of things that needed to be fixed before it could be released into the wild. The prompt/response thread was long.

Claude will get you 80% there in a matter of minutes, closing the remaining 20% takes a while. However, due to being able to reuse the dashboard, "Update the dashboard to reflect June 2026 activity using the new data file" only takes a few minutes once you have the dashboard created. So I view the time spent designing it as an investment that will amortize across the life of the dashboard.

Sr. Director Global Operations - Very Large (20B+) Tech company

Yes, RPA based. Lots of custom systems/code.

CEO Driven, company-wide. We have adopted an AI-first mindset. We are applying AI across the company in all facets of our business. We have an MS 365 E7 License, so everyone is working inside the M365 ecosystem using Copilot and Cowork in Copilot. We have also given every employee a Claude enterprise license and highly encouraged citizen development across our entire workforce. We have well over 100 different AI based initiatives underway. We are spending over $150K a week for Claude usage by our workforce. My Claude usage last month was over $800 and we had some employees over $5k.

Yes, the pressure is absolutely there to go fast. We are adjusting to the pace. One of the things we've observed is that the AI toolsets are evolving so quickly that the technology is outpacing the speed of our system development. By the time you've actually built something one way, the technology has changed and rendered what you just did obsolete.

2 months ago, Claude's Cowork wasn't in my toolbox; now it's my most used tool.

I would liken it to beta software, I've been using Cowork in Copilot since the day it came out, runs fine for me, no issues. I do prefer using Claude Cowork to Copilot Cowork, but Claude Cowork doesn't have the reach inside your M365 tenant that Copilot Cowork has. The M365 connector in Claude is not fully plugged in.

I saw this article today https://www.breitbart.com/middle-east/2026/05/05/u-s-becomes-worlds-biggest-oil-producer-during-strait-hormuz-crisis/, and I realized that we've taken control of Venezuela's oil, we've taken Russian oil off the market and are actively interdicting their shipping, and we now control the SOH.

The US has control of the world's oil supply.

Was this Trump's goal?

If you watch the video closely, the guy who opened fire, was the first officer to recognize the threat. He had his gun pulled within the assailant taking 7 steps out the door. He was firing at a fast moving, close target, moving horizontally to his position. He got off 3 shots by the time the guy was just passing him.

The suspect emerges from the door at 20:36:40 in the video. The officer reaches for his gun at 36:42 (2 seconds later) The officer had fired 3 times by 36:44 (2 seconds) The suspect was on the ground by 36:49..5 seconds later. The entire incident lasted 9 seconds. The suspect took 9 steps before the officer fired. The officer had fired 3 times before anyone else ever unholstered their weapon.

I would like to see all the billy bad asses in this thread do any better.

The truth is the assailant was neutralized in a matter of seconds at the outer security ring.

The canine officer is the most at fault of all the officers...he is looking directly at the threat for a few seconds before turning to walk off. The dog was much more aware than he was.

The three ladies leaning up against the wall were unarmed TSA agents.

I think there is another avenue open to Ukraine. IF (big IF) Ukraine can continue to stalemate Russia on the ground by relying on both air and ground based drone systems, then all they have to do is sit back and wait for Russia to throw in the towel. Can they wait out Russia? I don't know, but Ukraine's drone strikes deep into Russia are having an impact on the russian economy. In that case, what matters is Russia's willingness to continue to absorb increasingly painful attacks.

1st - Russia is much closer to its tipping point today than they were 4 years ago. I don't think anyone could reasonably argue otherwise.
2nd - Even while Ukraine has been slowly bleeding out, they have been able to stop and stalemate Russia. Russia appears to be incapable of making any gains, even with Ukraine losing the attrition battle. This is due to Ukraine's dominance in the drone warfare space. I think a reasonable person would agree with this as well.

So I think Ukraine has a path to victory, but in no way is it certain that they can achieve it.
