alt Hacker NewsUm, I absolutely expect my colleagues to update their internal model of me every time we communicate, to a greater or lesser degree depending on how much that communication deviates from their expectations, or how much new information it contains. In fact, that is essentially the purpose of communication.
Do you think you are not constantly being "influenced" to do what people want from you?
What do think happens during a peer review or promotion decision?
What do you think the pile of data in SharePoint / GDrive represents?
You think HR will care about someone taking prolific detailed notes at work?
I did phrase my comment in a glib way to draw out this type of reaction. But this type of stuff is what "intelligence augmentation" will include, and the corporate panopticon is already alive and well anyway.
their mental model. the human being’s mental model. not some LLM’s “dossier” on every interaction you’ve ever had with them. you’re basically creating your own black book / surveillance tool on everyone you interact with.
just because the corporations do this to us doesn’t make it okay to do it to each other. just because your employer does it doesn’t mean it’s okay to do to your co-workers. like, there has to be a degree of trust between colleagues dude.
keeping a record of every single thing anyone has ever said to you, an individual human being who is not a corporation or a machine who has no real good reason for doing it except “it makes my emails better”, is just plain fucking creepy.
i think you might need some time away from the screen. seriously.

maybe, just maybe, it would be a good idea to take a bit of time to seriously think about why being glib about this super creepy thing you’re doing is not a good thing.
bit of self-reflection. the thing us humans are supposedly still capable of doing and the machines are not.
