 Trial by Wombat! Dont vote, it only encourages them.


Like the Geico ad with Captain Ahab seeking a parking space, the Trumpists are searching for that moment when the government magically gets overthrown. 

(CNN) They were there to “Stop the Steal” and to keep the President they revered in office, yet records show that some of the rioters who stormed the US Capitol did not vote in the very election they were protesting.

One was Donovan Crowl, an ex-Marine who charged toward a Capitol entrance in paramilitary garb on January 6 as the Pro-Trump crowd chanted “who’s our President?”

Federal authorities later identified Crowl, 50, as a member of a self-styled militia organization in his home state of Ohio and affiliated with the extremist group the Oath Keepers. His mother told CNN that he previously told her “they were going to overtake the government if they…tried to take Trump’s presidency from him.” She said he had become increasingly angry during the Obama administration and that she was aware of his support for former President Donald Trump.

[…]

Many involved in the insurrection professed to be motivated by patriotism, falsely declaring that Trump was the rightful winner of the election. Yet at least eight of the people who are now facing criminal charges for their involvement in the events at the Capitol did not vote in the November 2020 presidential election, according to an analysis of voting records from the states where protestors were arrested and those states where public records show they have lived. They came from states around the country and ranged in age from 21 to 65.

Document/Attachment Management limitations within Dynamics 365 and how to overcome them!

December 13, 2020   CRM News and Info

xa2d blog 2 625x357.jpg.pagespeed.ic.5OmW8mgxqY Document/Attachment Management limitations within Dynamics 365 and how to overcome them!

Dynamics 365 CRM unlocks the abilities of organizations to do more with their data. From customer engagement to document storage and management, Dynamics 365 has got it all. However, no product is flawless in every aspect; it comes with certain limitations and roadblocks. One such limitation is related to document storage and management within Dynamics 365. When it comes to cloud storage for storing documents, Dynamics 365 only allows a single native option of SharePoint cloud storage. Moreover, this comes with a default base level quota for 10GB storage. All organizations reach the free storage limit in Dynamics 365 sooner or later and the additional costing per GB can be too cost intensive.

Wouldn’t it be better to have the option to store and manage your documents on your choice of cloud storage? It’s possible with Attach2Dynamics, a Preferred Solution on Microsoft AppSource. Attach2Dynamics is an Inogic solution that provides native integration between CRM and multiple cloud storage like SharePoint, Dropbox and Azure Blob Storage as shown below. Users are free to choose their connector, integrate their respective chosen Cloud Storage and then store and manage their attachments/documents in the integrated Cloud Storage seamlessly using Attach2Dynamics.

xAttachment Management limitations within Dynamics 365 and how to overcome them 1 625x417.png.pagespeed.ic.lSBGQOSGYk Document/Attachment Management limitations within Dynamics 365 and how to overcome them!

What more can you do with Attach2Dynamics? Along with overcoming the limitation of single cloud storage, Attach2Dynamics offers many must have features like drag and drop attachments, bulk migration of history attachments, upload, download, delete to and from SharePoint, Dropbox, Azure blob, etc. The highlight is that all these actions can be done right from within Dynamics 365 using the easy to use Attach2Dynamics UI. So let’s unpack some of these most popular features in Attach2Dynamics that allow you to make attachment storage and management easy and efficient.

Get an enhanced user experience with Drag & Drop

With Attach2Dynamics, it’s impossible to not get attached to the convenience. Attach2Dynamics unboxes with a user-friendly interface that makes copying/moving files a piece of cake. It allows users to comfortably drag and drop multiple files and folders from Dynamics 365 CRM to Dropbox, SharePoint and Azure Blob Storage. Once users have copied/moved all their required files they have the option to view all the files and folders that have been copied/moved in one glance with the help of Attach2Dynamics.

xAttachment Management limitations within Dynamics 365 and how to overcome them 2 625x420.png.pagespeed.ic.7dMsHYq2cG Document/Attachment Management limitations within Dynamics 365 and how to overcome them!

Do more with less effort with Bulk Migrate

Document management with Attach2Dynamics is all about efficiency and a hassle free experience. Users can use Bulk Migration Jobs to Copy/Move History Notes, Email and Sales Literature Attachments from Dynamics 365 CRM to SharePoint, Dropbox and Azure Blob Storage.

To make it easy to keep a track of the migrated files, Bulk Migration provides a detailed status on the files that are migrated. Therefore, users can easily view the migrated information. Consider a case where a user has to move their emails of last ‘n’ number of weeks from Dynamics 365 CRM to configured cloud storage, with Attach2Dynamics, bulk migration is only a single click! This makes migration straightforward and simple, allowing users to rapidly free up more space in their Dynamics 365 CRM.

AI Weekly: Cutting-edge language models can produce convincing misinformation if we don’t stop them

September 19, 2020   Big Data

Automation and Jobs

Read our latest special issue.

Open Now

It’s been three months since OpenAI launched an API underpinned by cutting-edge language model GPT-3, and it continues to be the subject of fascination within the AI community and beyond. Portland State University computer science professor Melanie Mitchell found evidence that GPT-3 can make primitive analogies, and Columbia University’s Raphaël Millière asked GPT-3 to compose a response to the philosophical essays written about it. But as the U.S. presidential election nears, there’s growing concern among academics that tools like GPT-3 could be co-opted by malicious actors to foment discord by spreading misinformation, disinformation, and outright lies. In a paper published by the Middlebury Institute of International Studies’ Center on Terrorism, Extremism, and Counterterrorism (CTEC), the coauthors find that GPT-3’s strength in generating “informational,” “influential” text could be leveraged to “radicalize individuals into violent far-right extremist ideologies and behaviors.”

Bots are increasingly being used around the world to sow the seeds of unrest, either through the spread of misinformation or the amplification of controversial points of view. An Oxford Internet Institute report published in 2019 found evidence of bots disseminating propaganda in 50 countries, including Cuba, Egypt, India, Iran, Italy, South Korea, and Vietnam. In the U.K., researchers estimate that half a million tweets about the country’s proposal to leave the European Union sent between June 5 and June 12 came from bots. And in the Middle East, bots generated thousands of tweets in support of Saudi Arabia’s crown prince Mohammed bin Salman following the 2018 murder of Washington Post opinion columnist Jamal Khashoggi.

Bot activity perhaps most relevant to the upcoming U.S. elections occurred last November, when cyborg bots spread misinformation during the local Kentucky elections. VineSight, a company that tracks social media misinformation, uncovered small networks of bots retweeting and liking messages casting doubt on the gubernatorial results before and after the polls closed.

But bots historically haven’t been sophisticated; most simply retweet, upvote, or favorite posts likely to prompt toxic (or violent) debate. GPT-3-powered bots or “cyborgs” — accounts that attempt to evade spam detection tools by fielding tweets from human operators — could prove to be far more harmful given how convincing their output tends to be. “Producing ideologically consistent fake text no longer requires a large corpus of source materials and hours of [training]. It is as simple as prompting GPT-3; the model will pick up on the patterns and intent without any other training,” the coauthors of the Middlebury Institute study wrote. “This is … exacerbated by GPT-3’s impressively deep knowledge of extremist communities, from QAnon to the Atomwaffen Division to the Wagner Group, and those communities’ particular nuances and quirks.”

 AI Weekly: Cutting edge language models can produce convincing misinformation if we don’t stop them

Above: A question-answer thread generated by GPT-3.

In their study, the CTEC researchers sought to determine whether people could color GPT-3’s knowledge with ideological bias. (GPT-3 was trained on trillions of words from the internet, and its architectural design enables fine-tuning through longer, representative prompts like tweets, paragraphs, forum threads, and emails.) They discovered that it only took a few seconds to produce a system able to answer questions about the world consistent with a conspiracy theory, in one case falsehoods originating from the QAnon and Iron March communities.

“GPT-3 can complete a single post with convincing responses from multiple viewpoints, bringing in various different themes and philosophical threads within far-right extremism,” the coauthors wrote. “It can also generate new topics and opening posts from scratch, all of which fall within the bounds of [the communities’] ideologies.”

CTEC’s analysis also found GPT-3 is “surprisingly robust” with respect to multilingual language understanding, demonstrating an aptitude for producing Russian-language text in response to English prompts that show examples of right-wing bias, xenophobia, and conspiracism. The model also proved “highly effective” at creating extremist manifestos that were coherent, understandable, and ideologically consistent, communicating how to justify violence and instructing on anything from weapons creation to philosophical radicalization.

 AI Weekly: Cutting edge language models can produce convincing misinformation if we don’t stop them

Above: GPT-3 writing extremist manifestos.

“No specialized technical knowledge is required to enable the model to produce text that aligns with and expands upon right-wing extremist prompts. With very little experimentation, short prompts produce compelling and consistent text that would believably appear in far-right extremist communities online,” the researchers wrote. “GPT-3’s ability to emulate the ideologically consistent, interactive, normalizing environment of online extremist communities poses the risk of amplifying extremist movements that seek to radicalize and recruit individuals. Extremists could easily produce synthetic text that they lightly alter and then employ automation to speed the spread of this heavily ideological and emotionally stirring content into online forums where such content would be difficult to distinguish from human-generated content.”

OpenAI says it’s experimenting with safeguards at the API level including “toxicity filters” to limit harmful language generation from GPT-3. For instance, it hopes to deploy filters that pick up antisemitic content while still letting through neutral content talking about Judaism.

Another solution might lie in a technique proposed by Salesforce researchers including former Salesforce chief scientist Richard Socher. In a recent paper, they describe GeDi (short for “generative discriminator”), a machine learning algorithm capable of “detoxifying” text generation by language models like GPT-3’s predecessor, GPT-2. During one experiment, the researchers trained GeDi as a toxicity classifier on an open source data set released by Jigsaw, Alphabet’s technology incubator. They claim that GeDi-guided generation resulted in significantly less toxic text than baseline models while achieving the highest linguistic acceptability.

 AI Weekly: Cutting edge language models can produce convincing misinformation if we don’t stop them

But technical mitigation can only achieve so much. CTEC researchers recommend partnerships between industry, government, and civil society to effectively manage and set the standards for use and abuse of emerging technologies like GPT-3. “The originators and distributors of generative language models have unique motivations to serve potential clients and users. Online service providers and existing platforms will need to accommodate for the impact of the output from such language models being utilized with the use of their services,” the researchers wrote. “Citizens and the government officials who serve them may empower themselves with information about how and in what manner creation and distribution of synthetic text supports healthy norms and constructive online communities.”

It’s unclear the extent to which this will be possible ahead of the U.S. presidential election, but CTEC’s findings make apparent the urgency. GPT-3 and like models have destructive potential if not properly curtailed, and it will require stakeholders from across the political and ideological spectrum to figure out how they might be deployed both safely and responsibly.

Get better visualization of Cases using Kanban Board within Dynamics 365 CRM / Power Apps and resolve them quickly!

August 15, 2020   CRM News and Info

621x355xGet better visualization of Cases using Kanban Board within Dynamics 365 CRM.jpg.pagespeed.ic.C07adb9ZgK Get better visualization of Cases using Kanban Board within Dynamics 365 CRM / Power Apps and resolve them quickly!

One of the factors that helps in maintaining efficiency, productivity and agility in business process is seamless data visualization. For this very purpose, we at Inogic, have come up with very a user-friendly Dynamics 365 CRM productivity app  – Kanban Board.

Let’s understand how this amazing app will benefit you in visualizing Dynamics 365 CRM data in a card-based view that helps you to easily identify the status of the records, with an example of Case Entity.

As you know Service industry deals with a variety of service cases that need to be attended and resolved at the earliest.

Suppose the Service Manager of ABC Corps allots cases to the service representatives which are by default displayed as read-only grid. Now this makes it difficult for the service reps to visualize records based on their statuses. But with our data visualization app Kanban Board, these cases can be viewed as per their status and thus the pending cases can be worked upon accordingly.

In the meanwhile, if one of the service reps wants to assign his case to another team member then they can ask the Service Manager, who will just have to select the card in Kanban Board and use native Assign action from the ribbon. And just like that the case will be assigned to another service rep.

In conjunction to viewing the cases categorized by Statuses, service reps are able to further categorize the cases within each lane on the basis of Priority – High, Normal, Low, Other – with the help of Row Grouping. This gives enhanced view of the CRM data, which in turn helps reps to quickly pick the important Case.

Not only this, the service reps are able to classify records based on the stages of Business Process Flow (BPF) as it would simplify the process for reps. They have to simply select BPF from dropdown and the cases would be classified based on the stages of BPF i.e. Identify – Research – Resolve. In this way, they can view the cards based on their stages in BPF.

Top Data Visualization Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

February 28, 2020   TIBCO Spotfire
TIBCOAvoidDataMistakes scaled e1582231327953 696x365 Top Data Visualization Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Visually communicating quantitative content is key for organizations that are working towards digital transformation. Looking for insights by turning numerical data into graphics, or data visualization, is not an easy task. But neither is poring over spreadsheets and lengthy datasets looking for an insight’s needle in the data haystack. When done right, visual analytics can quickly and easily highlight trends and convey end results to users in highly powerful and influential ways. In this blog, we’ll give you a quick overview of what our advanced practitioners have picked out as the most common data visualization mistakes, and give you tips and tricks on how to avoid them.

Know your audience

One of the most important starting points is realizing that you cannot create visualizations that meet the needs of any and all audiences. When designing, you need to hone in on the questions and needs of your target audience. Imagine you are presenting to a group of environmental experts and you show them a simplified weather map. That type of simple, uninsightful information would cause your audience to question your understanding. However, showing them an enriched, dynamic visual that tells the story of how nations with the highest emissions also have the highest rate of climate change, to set up a conversation about causation versus correlation – now that would be something that would get their attention. Targeting the right message to your audience is the first crucial step when designing impactful data visualizations.

Choosing the wrong type of data visualization

Deciding on the type of visualization can be hard since there are so many “pretty” but uninformative visualizations. Strive for clarity and simplicity. Great rules of thumb for this are:

  • To highlight and compare values, use a bar chart.
  • To show change over time, or how one value affects another, use a line graph.
  • To show relationships between values, use a scatter chart.

And please always assume that your viewers are not using a high-resolution screen. Most will be looking on their mobile devices so it’s best to design with that in mind. We recommend that you choose a data visualization tool that will actually recommend the best visualization for you like Spotfire.

Edit to Emphasize Ideas 

Again, when you have so much data, it’s tempting to show it all at once. But that will just confuse the audience. The main point of data visualization is to make the point the presenter is trying to prove clearer. There are some basic rules that can help,  such as:

–       Don’t put every insight into one chart

–       Only use written descriptions if they are needed to clarify what’s shown

–       Use color sparingly and only to support your main points

It’s up to you to select and develop the visualizations that your company needs, so we recommend you use a tool like Spotfire that can help you automatically wrangle and prepare your data, select the best visualization type, and uncover insights from data from all your sources including traditional or Internet of Things (IoT) streaming sources.

THE OCEAN KEEPS GIVING THEM UP

February 3, 2020   Humor
blank THE OCEAN KEEPS GIVING THEM UP

Shipwreck tied to mutiny and murder:

A three-masted schooner that dramatically ran aground in 1919 has resurfaced a century after an alleged mutiny led to the captain’s death and a murder trail for the crew.

Photos posted on Facebook by Mimi Farrell show a large cross section of the William H. Sumner has been revealed by wind and wave action on the beach at Surf City, North Carolina.

Parts of the Sumner have been known to pop out every few years, but this year is different, Farrell noted: “This is the most I have seen of it.”

“Would love to see it dug up for a museum or something,” she wrote. “I know there is still more under the sand. You are not permitted to touch anything like this. I don’t know the history other than they murdered the Captain.”

Surf City officials reported a small section of the schooner’s deck popped out of the sand last year, near the 700 block of North Topsail Drive. The Topsail News identified the chunk wood as a 28-by-11 foot part of the deck.

The Sumner’s tale of mutiny and murder dates to September 1919, when it ran aground while sailing from Puerto Rico to New York City, according to the TopsailIslandblog.

“The story goes that the young 25 year old captain on his first voyage in command had sailed too close to the shore,” the blog says. “When the currents and winds left the schooner stranded near present day New Topsail Inlet … the ship was pulverized on the shoals.”

Crew members told officials the Sumner lost course, “sailed too close to shore” and got lodged in the shoals, according to Wrightsville Beach Magazine.

However, evidence emerged that the captain was killed after rations ran low and he refused to dock for supplies, the magazine reported.

Seven of the eight crew members were tried for murder, but the jury failed to reach a verdict in federal court, according to old news articles reproduced on TreasureNet.com.
