And salting overnight :)

I quite like the ai/search thing - I like that there is a super accessible ai I can ask questions without infecting my ChatGPT history

This absolutely terrifies me, surely one misread piece of data or a hallucination here or there and a little “oh sorry about that, I guessed at this portion of the data to save tim…

I suppose that because we trained llm’s on code with bugs in it will write code with bugs in

I listened to the dose effect [1] and that has really helped me get my attention back. I’ve deleted TikTok and now get blocks of focused work done and I haven’t been this effective…

At the time personal computers didn’t do that much, lots of work places had no computers and libraries (in the uk at least) wouldn’t have had a computer you could use. Commodore 64…

Could you expand on that?

This was such a short sighted move - with a phone platform and HoloLens they could have built their version of meta glasses and been able to capture all that real world vision for …

It is understandable why so much content is ai-related, so many people are using it

I don’t get this feeling, I feel like I’ve achieved so much more than I have ever achieved, everything is polished and I’m happy with it. I’m still developing, I’m just doing more …

The patch-on-patch-on-patch is exactly right, nice way to describe it. It feels like, and I think is, optimized to find the quickest answer not necessarily the right answer.

Why don’t we just call ourselves programmers and save this semi-regular debate!

How do you stop Claude/opex from pushing or pulling without you asking?

“ and push commits” Am I the only person who insists on writing my password every time I push and pull from git? Originally I didn’t want IDE’s doing stuff for me, now I absolutely…

Print out a face of someone on Facebook and use that?

The soothing sound of ChatGPT telling us how right and clever we are…how could it possibly hallucinate, certainly not 5.5

Yeah, what better marketing than the US government thinks it is too powerful? [edit: don’t forget my previous tin foil hat note, I’m not overly serious about this]

Attention is like a limited amount, you start the day with 100 tokens, scrolling tick-tock for an hour? 25 tokens, deep working for an hour? 25 tokens - what do you have left to do…

My tin foil hat version of myself says it is because the whole thing is a marketing stunt and certain members of the administration are getting kick backs for it.

I think it will end up a game of haves and have nots - governments and companies with spare cash will go large and capitalise on the benefits of ai, everyone else will be left behi…

>> No one was really entering credit cards on web pages. Any webpage that needed a credit card number we would use a generator which worked about 50% of the time

Won’t all they need to do is say “best in class, latest models, fastest” and wine and dine a few execs and those enterprise deals will be signed? In this case the people tasked wit…

I enjoyed it, people post on blogs as a way to entertain themselves, not necessarily the reader.
