    Spotify api also requires extension requests now. The review process takes 10+ weeks and has no discourse :(

    As the next.js server-less feature set has become more robust, I find myself reaching for the static site generation feature more often than not. Static hosting is cheaper, and sig…

    I agree in the short term it is a tool to enhance people and increases social mobility. The concern is after AGI the human assistance may become unnecessary

    Was not intending to sound classist. Joe Shmo can be anyone Elon included. For me it’s a question of whether the technology is potentially dangerous. If it is, then having it in mo…

    What a malicious human assisted by AI could do is pretty crazy too. We are giving every Joe Shmo access to super intelligence.

    I'm not convinced, and neither are people who are a lot more knowledgable than me. For instance, https://towardsdatascience.com/openais-chief-scientist-claim...

    Fair point on sensationalism, I think it's a useful hook to get folks reading and talking. There is a "Nuance" section at the bottom where I qualify most of the rah rah language. T…

    Yea the code on the top level is very cartoonish and almost comical. But the model can definitely produce running code. Chat GPT is a similar model that runs codex, see the demo he…
