For me a loan would be far more stressful than fixing a 20 year old car, but I have worked for myself for 15 years so my priorities are probably skewed

On the one hand you need any lathe to build a good lathe, even a bad one. On the other, that is a potentially flawed principle to base the entire future of AI on.

Given its form factor there is already a ton of active research into developments that would be just about plug and play. Hands with coordination for example.

For a very long time now I've avoided anything other than 1 class per div with style overrides and written with modular rules and 1-2 degrees of separation between label and rules. Something like .title { @include type-heading;

Some heavier elements have hilariously high energy densities and aren't bombs (on their own), but the catch is the energy release is a trickle. Point is it's not an automatic follow that high density = high discharge.

Seems like we need to update that other saying - to err is human but to really f** things up you need an AI

It might have happened without him eventually, which wasn't really an option at the time. I visited Bletchley Park Museum a few months ago, it doesn't really mention much of what happened with him at all. Which account are you ref

While I haven't been to Mississippi I have spent the last 6 months driving around the UK on a working holiday, and this sounds like a massive stretch. Free healthcare might be helping.

I don't hate the idea of using ai for the sole purpose of navigating arbitrarily massive sets of menus in moments. That actually seems like a great use for it.

Followed of course closely by someone asking a question and replying to themselves saying they figured it out. Though back then I was guilty of that one myself.

My biggest problem with old forums was googling a question, clicking on a post of someone asking that question, and the first response being some gate keeper saying this has been answered so many times use the search function.

Are you saying programmers aren't adaptable? I don't think I've ever seen this field pause to take a breath.

That's the world being deliberately created though, one where a mediocre but completely believable song is a prompt away. The scope of the side effects are across the entirety of what has previously taken time and effort until now.

To me AI in marketing is a signal that whatever business I'm looking at will pivot when a fad comes along. That is not what I want in any service that I plan to use for a long time.

I'm not sure if this means gold isn't powered by memes or whether it's just one of the most long lived memes of all time. Aside from other nice properties like lasting a long time, being pretty, and not requiring electricity

Until AI can take responsibility I don't see the accountability issue being solved, hopefully this doesn't just mean humans become responsibility machines.

This only works if you believe in something unknown which we can't detect or measure, which is by its definition not provable.

We already live in a world where supply would greatly outstrip demand if we weren't constantly being convinced (or convincing ourselves) to spend money on services we don't need. The only real lack of supply is around things like

I got the impression from the first comment that it was speaking from experience not the docs

Each time people found something else to do that someone would pay them for. This doesn't automatically mean there is an infinite supply of that - unless you believe in it as some kind of fundamental law.

This is a valuable insight, Seniors engineers have often built a career out of building intuitions around when to trust people, not AI.
