It wasn't as easily spread or as divisive either though. Social media is constantly alight with outrage for things that barely impact the people arguing. I don't even live in America, but people here hold passionate views about US

Certainly not just coding. Senior designers and copywriters get much better results as well. It is not surprising, if context is one of the most important aspects of a prompt, then someone with domain experience is going to be able to const

That's actually been done in a few different products, I think the only enduring product though is the StreamDeck. The most impressive was the Optimus Maximus someone else mentioned in a comment.

It was less that it went wrong, and more that when something small went wrong it became a complex issue due to how the system was built, and how it handled a module failure. The car was entirely capable of continuing to operate normally, bu

You may be on to something. I drove a BMW that, when the electric window position sensors went bad, the whole car went into limp mode and didn't let you accelerate over a certain speed. I imagine the rationale being out could not verif

That's interesting! I manually do the same by prompting in the target language, since it drastically changes the results. This has been true of web search since forever mind you. The wev has always been culturally delineated by languag

It makes sense as an avenue for Agents as well, since it is the defacto "work app" platform. For many, their entire workday is spent inside the browser.

It is not being responsibly managed, it is poisoning the planet. You can defer responsibility to others such as the producers and recyclers, and I think we should. But it doesn't mean we can't control what we buy and throw away as

I doubt we disagree on ethics here, but I am empathetic to the influences at play for a developer in that situation. I would not demonize them without first knowing more.

How would you know, generally speaking? Factuality online is always subjective, based on a thing someone said, or that you observed, and you are putting trust in the source. Whether you googled it, or AI googled it and generated an explanat

Japan is wild for this, but also pretty good at recycling plastic in general. Bananas are often wrapped individually for sale. You buy a box of biscuits and they're often individually wrapped in plastic etc.

You can bring your own, non-plastic bags. I do wonder if maybe some cultures just don't have this and so the deprecation of plastic bags has left everyone quite confused. It's a very solved problem, has been for centuries probably

Code you didn't write is an even bigger liability, because if the AI gets off track and you can't guide it back, you may have to spend the time to learn it's code and fix the bugs. It's no different to inheriting a legac
