I'm working on a self hosted Patreon alternative. Would this be effective for sending emails from our creators? Thinking of running an emailing service for them.
No. Are you using RoR?
Haven't in a while, how come?

I would argue the person prompting the LLM and piecing it all together is still a human author. The LLM is just a tool. The average person cannot sit down and create a project with an LLM, so the human is still a key factor. To say there is no human would be similar to saying those who use Copilot are not authoring their code, when clearly there is a curator/director managing what the AI models produce. Auditing and…
The law disagrees.
Which law in which country?

#74> secure and efficient Judging by the fact you generated it with an LLM, the quality of the code, and skimming the videos, I’m highly suspicious of the claim and don’t think you’re basing that assertion on anything defensible. Adding “make the code secure and efficient” to your prompt doesn’t make it so. I fear for the future quality of software products. Quality was already going down the drain and LLMs have the abi…
Every project that says it's "secure" is already a complete joke in itself. The multi billion companies who say that about themselves, can't even uphold that statement despite their infinite resources. "Secure" isn't a property that anyone can claim, it's a property that only can be attributed looking back in time.

Reminds me of a Steve Jobs video where he talks about quality, and how the Japanese never use that as a qualifier in their advertisements. People don’t assume your product is quality because you tell them it is, they experience it or hear so through word of mouth.

Does Microsoft Windows ring a bell? The bloat and insecurity are features, Mr., this is capitalism. Thank you for your service.

The courts have repeatedly ruled on this. Well-known case: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_selfie_copyright_disp...
That doesn't say what you think it does. Quoting the judgement: "only works created by a human can be copyrighted under United States law, which excludes photographs and artwork created by animals or by machines without human intervention" Clearly, the machine in question is responding to human prompts. The LLM didn't create this program on its own. So I think these are still open issues.

And wouldn't have finished on its own. Sometimes even other models or chats with more fine tuned context just don't spot the mistakes within n iterations. The human needs to, quite annoyed I must say, take a closer look herself. "What did you LLM do and how does it work?" Then you specify what must be done or do it yourself because you can't remember the term which would make the LLM find the right symbols, and describing the term takes as long as fixing the issue yourself. This applies more to new kids on the block than to experienced devs, depending on the complexity of the subject, of course, but is relevant for both because the creation, the final product, belongs to the human, as does the LLM. My chat, my LLM, my copyright. If it ever became important, I'd raise an army against their lawyers.

#78For me https://buttondown.email is the equivalent for TinyLetter before it got acquired by Mailchimp. It's a honest small business and the founder also has an interesting blog: https://buttondown.email/blog
looks nice, but uhm price is pretty much the same as brevo

#79> Even I use the GPT model to generate the code, I still need to review the code and test it. This should be the first paragraph in the README. It's not responsible to release something like this in the first place, let alone without a big red warning sign in front of it.
I'm not a fan of AI slop, but if you're using code from GitHub, the burden has always been on you to make sure it's suitable. The MIT license provides no warranty. There has always been low quality code on GitHub, the bar to publish is low.

What is "your LLM"? Did you create it? Buy it?
