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.

Amen!

He should get back to us when they have a Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and have a MIC capable of designing and building a 6th-gen fighter. They are very seasoned at fighting the Russians, but that's not even really a good comparison to going against the US military.
