No idea why anyone would provide that for free. I googled with the following and first couple of results did not seem to be free.

So the company I contract with has drunk some sort of Kool-Aid and whoever has decided Visure ()[^] is the solution to all their problems. I've dealt with requirements tracking for the past 45 years, and my feeling is this is a throwback to the waterfall method.
For you youngsters, the waterfall method embraced the religion of making sure you knew 100% what you needed to do before doing anything. Insert lies, inuendo, and self deception, time to write code, build a plane, etc. The waterfall method's major fallacy is that you assume the customer knows what they want.
So, anyone have any exposure to this system? What's fascinating is that the requirements group, and the design group hare tripled in size, and the s/w group are evaporating. Hmm, consulting opportunity. lol

Looks like another effort by non-software types to convert software development into a "crank the machine" operation where the individual cogs don't matter.

I would agree with you. Lots of complexity and promises. People will spend more time feeding this software instead of just developing the product.

Apologies for the outage today. We're working on stabilising things in the face of those who feel the breaking stuff that people use is cooler than actually putting effort in and building something of value for the World.

Did any of that have to do with yesterday's patches?
A coworker had 9 of his 10 VMs fail to install the January CU for both Win10 and Server 2022. I haven't yet tried to update anything on my end...

No, not the patches.
Blame Mr Cage.

Right, I misunderstood your first message.
But then, one could interpret this as Microsoft being the bad guys causing havoc...

Guess it's still down for some areas. I can access on my mobile device using my Cellular network in the NCR region of India but can't access on my work machine through the company intranet.

Likewise, I have to use my mobile connection.
I can't access the site from my Cambridge UK or London connection.

I subscribe to emails from Zillow for a couple of different areas. This morning I received a listing on a house with the usual picture, address, pricing, etc. The emails always include the first line or two of the agent's description.
Here's what it said: Quote: ChatGPT Absolutely, I can create an inspiring property description based on the details you've...
Zillow shoots those emails out immediately on posting, so the agent didn't realize it was sent out including the copied ChatGPT response header. (The online listing doesn't currently contain the wording). It did a nice job on writing a flowery description, or inspiring as ChatGPT put it.

Agent with zero IQ. BTW, have you ever seen an agent with positive IQ? Better to talk with AI directly.

Ummm, have to toss my oar in here. My daughter is a real-estate agent. You have no idea how many idiots, sorry customers, sorry, people who want to buy homes and are clueless. yes, there are dumb agents overwhelmed with 10x clients.
Now, if you want to go off and buy real-estate via AI, you go do you.

Charlie,
I agree. I've worked with agents both personally and from the IT side (over 25 years) and pretty much like any large group of people, I've encountered 'amazing' at both ends of the spectrum. I have more than a few funny stories from working on a brokerage site that was one of the first local Realtors to have an active internet presence.
An amusing side note, this property went pending in two days, almost unheard of in this market. Maybe the AI helped draw in some people, but a really good listing of a move-in ready house at $183/sqft probably had more to do with it.
While we may not get to buying a house via AI, I would envision services that will really narrow down searches using it.

Certainly know that the one I used was worth it.
At one point when showing me a house he dashed down the street to talk to three people that just left the house. He picked up, some how, that the three people were odd.
So he found out that one was a structural engineer, hired by the other people, who determined the house would require structural changes due to a hill behind the house. After that talk we still looked at the house but knew to look where one of the walls was leaning in.
That problem meant there was no way I could have gotten the type of loan that I was looking at.
So certainly saved me time and perhaps even money.

Wonder if AI can help you figure out how you can afford?
10,018 sq/ft lot (.23 acres), are they try to fool you with big numbers? That's a tiny lot!

Good god, and I feel cramped in a ~1000 sq/ft house on 3 acres.
