CEO's obsession with ChatGPT is hitting critical mass. We got 10 company-wide emails last Sunday as he asked it to do competitor analysis and then copy and pasted the results into an email saying how amazing it was and making snide comments about how it only took him 5 minutes and when he asks marketing to do it it takes weeks. Never mind the fact that each email which covered each competitor was pretty much identical with only the bullet points in a different order and some different wording. He's clearly not reading the generated slop and just forwarding it on as "something to ponder."
This week we've come in to an email saying that he fully expects everyone in the office to spend half an hour every morning talking to it and asking it how we can make our jobs more productive. He's previously sent out examples of how marketing can do it so now he expects product, customer support and engineering to do the same.
"Hey ChatGPT, can you tell me why when this customer exports a 13,000 line table to PDF on pages 300-303 the spacing gets a bit messed up and the text is clipped slightly? Here's our codebase for reference"
Does he realize that when you put data into chatgpt you lose control to that data? I wonder what confidential information your competitors can now easily access now that it's on the chatgpt database.
I'm now imagining HR doing annual review shit through chatgpt and just uploading employee records.
We've got some kind of corporate account with OpenAI so apparently anything we upload doesn't get incorporated into the wider model but as has been said - this is a model built by plagiarising the entire internet so I trust that claim about as far as I can throw it.
Meanwhile he fed it our entire company confluence wiki and tried to get it to summarise how we get a new API connected to our data lake, then sent the instructions to the head of engineering who very diplomatically said "that's interesting." He's not happy with long it takes the connectors team to get a new connection up and running and thinks it's something we can farm out to AI.

Does anyone know how to change the timer on saving drafts in the new outlook?
I quickly type a two sentence reply and hit send and end up with the message sent and an identical draft.
In the client? it should be under File -> Options -> Mail, about half way down

I tried to expand my cool sign in system and currently I have 14 formulas referencing 8 different sheets automatically when a number is entered but I think I reached the operational limit of excel. It takes a minute to save and open and keeps thinking it has crashed.

Sweet summer child, you're not even close. When the entire thing flickers, white screens then recovers, then gives you a system resource error... After about 15 minutes of "calculating", then you're about half way to a kind of operational limit.
Try lowering the amount of system cores it's using in the options menu. Sounds like you're hitting CPU limit on the math and it's having a hard time. That will usual smooth things out.

Where do I find this setting? Also I figured it shouldn't be this bad. people have to use excel for crazier stuff. Also the file is somehow 94 mb and I'm not sure how. The normal lunch only version of the system is only 300kbs.
Uuhh, in my experience over like 32mb things start to get dodgey, so you likely have a Real Problem. You can flatten out a sheet into a table to reduce file size, you can also synthesize multiple workbooks together with PowerQuery to speed things up if you're just bringing in data from other sources.
CPU settings are file > options > advanced > formulas > change to manual at system max - 2 initially.

I often set large files to manual calculations. That means it won't hang up doing calcs until all of the data has been entered/ until you tell it to calculate. Press F9 or save the file to force the calculation.
I think my record for a functional sheet was 500mb, but I inherited that monster and quickly killed and replaced it with a proper BI solution.
If your school has a full boat Microsoft thing you can do a lot with logic apps, flow and/or forms
I suspect based on the use case that it's not really that large unless they're getting many thousand library checkins per day. (I dunno, maybe they are?)
But generally that kind of largely text driven stuff in a spreadsheet doesn't take much actual space, and the culprit is usually something happened in the sheet to make it actualize the blank rows/columns, or to think it needed to apply separate formats to individual cells or something so it can't deduplicate it in the XML or compression that Excel uses.
Copy/pasting the relevant data and formulas with no formatting to a brand new document (and maybe archiving out any older checkin stuff that doesn't need to be actively looked at) may fix it.
I don't know what calendars our program manager checks when trying to set up meeting times, but she constantly tries to schedule them for times I already have marked out as unavailable. If it's just a one-off I'll often try and rearrange the conflict to accommodate her, but she just sent round an invite to a weekly meeting series scheduled at precisely the same time as another recurring meeting, which well pre-dates this new one.
I'll tell her I can't make the time and hopefully that will be sufficient, but I feel like I shouldn't have to. There are only five people to herd on this one, it takes five seconds to check a calendar, and if there's really no universally free slot then at least ask. Literally 90% of her entire job is enabling and facilitating project discussions.
I'll give a polite heads up the first time, but if you keep scheduling over times I'm not available I'm just going to click Not Accept and move on. The person can figure it out.

I started at declining the meeting, figured it was fair since they started by not checking my schedule or asking if I was free.
I can't wait until I'm retired like my parents so I can randomly text my kids in the middle of the work day if they have time for a call, then wonder why they are suddenly worried someone is in the hospital or dead.
I mean, I'm not having kids, but I'm sure I'll find a nephew to call at random times when I'm bored on a Tuesday to give a minor panic attack.
I figured out why I was struggling with getting assignments done for geology. The assignments are in chronological order of when they need to be completed. Except for the ones that aren't.

It's been one of those background things most of my life to know someone who was in the hospital or had died
An example was someone asked me what would it mean if I got 3M and the person I hated got 9M I replied I think they are dead
And yes they are

So admin used the late sign-in system I made for them fully today. It is a simplified version of the library sign-in I made. Yesterday they tried it but opened the excel in the online version which doesn't run the code, so the time stamps didn't work, but today I made sure they opened it in the desktop version. It worked well on both computers and they were very happy.
I also came up with a solution to a side issue my library sign-in had. The computer would lock after not being used for like 15 minutes. This was regardless of the settings that were changed to not do that. I think it is some district setting overriding the computer's setting.
Anyway, I hated it and didn't want to bother our IT person, who could probably fix it but he's very busy, so instead I found an app on the Microsoft store called mouse mover that moves the mouse cursor a pixel every ten minutes of no use. I could install it without the admin password since it was coming from Microsoft. Seems to be working great!
Way back about about 10 years ago the hospital system I work for had a similar issue in like, their operating rooms or something where there were some computers that needed to keep awake and the screen going without someone actively touching them because their hands were full of organs or whatever. So they implemented a similar system with what they called the "wiggle scripts".
