You can have two different browsers, one for work and one for non-work.

Can't this be solved with something like "Don't run any CI commands" in the AGENTS.md?

Perhaps not only just show your id to get your "Over age X verification object", but your ID also gets irreversibly altered (like a punch card) that makes it one-time-use only. That might make it less likely someone would ever se

>(I've been accused multiple times of being an AI after writing long well written comments 100% by hand) Perhaps always be sure to say something especially timely, original or insightful that an LLM can't have come up with.

I don't find this at all. There's a certain style, or flourish, to LLM-ish writing that makes it noticeable. It's not just spelling and grammar.

It's an interesting question. On one hand we don't worry about this much with animals, the most advanced of which we know have personalities, moods, etc (Pigs, for instance). They really only seem to lack the language and higher-o

I seem to recall short snippets of IDE code completion being one of the first commercial applications of it.

At least they're young enough to re-train into something else if they want. It's the mid-career devs who are flailing at the moment.

Are you sure? They removed one guy they didn't like but the regime remains.

>It’s already close to losing all meaning. On the contrary, seeing it take hold before our very eyes gives it more meaning than it ever had in the pages of the history books.

Not to put words in their mouth, but it seems like they mean they used to think about a problem and then spend X minutes typing the solution in via the keyboard that they no longer have to do.

As long as we're all aware that it'll probably mostly be AI reading them...

>If all ideas are recombinations of old ideas, where did the first ideas come from? Ideas seem to just be our abstractions of neural impulses from deep in evolution.

The best way to use Claude's models seems to be some other inference provider (either OpenRouter or directly)

Massively complex cells of living organisms have their entire functionality encoded in DNA, so why can't a business encode their functionality, too?

I hadn't watched these before, but wow the AI wars are no joke. "Betrayal", "Deception", "Violation", "Treachery"... It's like the Cola Wars, but 10x more personal.

One mitigation might be to use one company's model to check the work of another company's code and depend on market competition to keep the checks and balances.

That would be the more general/traditional way of saying it, but in modern investment circles the focus seems to have turned towards the actual people being "bulls/bears" and not just the attitudes of the market. A perso

A lot of that behind-the-scenes processing is keeping our meatbags alive, though, and is shared with a lot of other animals. Language and higher-order reasoning (that AI seems better and better at) has only evolved quite recently.

I doubt that 30-sheet Excel model itself was validated by the most rigorous of standards. Unless it had its own test suite before the one-shot (which could be leveraged by the AI), people have probably been taking its outputs for granted fo

I'm looking at it now and it says "senior-leaning" not "senior-learning" Might've been a typo they've since fixed. >I am, as many senior-leaning engineers are, ambivalent about whether AI is making us m

Does "disappointed" cover it? That's how I feel, anyway.

A developer spinning up greenfield projects in technologies they would never have touched without AI are probably going to use whatever AI suggests (or chooses without asking) because they have nothing else to compare it to. Like a webdev w
