That's either very brave, or very foolish. Vibeslop is already well known for the security risks that come with it.

Is ChatGPT going to convince the IRS that it wasn't you that tried to cheat on your taxes, and that it was all a simple "hallucination"?

All of ChatGPT's users could be gone in a month if something better comes along. And plenty of other options are coming along.

We're not in a race to the bottom with "AI", we're in a speedrun to the bottom.

I'm not convinced that will really happen. "AI" just doesn't give reliable output, and even if humans don't either, they are still far less prone to error. And errors matter, a lot.

I've worked at so many places in my career that "not understanding code" is not an excuse. It is a skill to be able to read and follow code and get up to speed quickly, even on shit codebases. But "AI" generated cod

This pointless conversation you created is over . If you get your jollies by intentionally misunderstanding comments and pointing out your miscomprehension, then you're talking to the wrong person. I really can't imagine what you

Why would you assume I "forgot" about any of that? It's implied. That's what "infer" means in that sentence. Of course it requires a brain and nervous system. Maybe you don't know what the word "i

"it helps cancer patients" is vastly different than "it cures cancer" which is what OP claimed he heard. And yes, it does help cancer patients as well as anyone else in pain. And the smoke is far less harmful than ciga

One camera can't really produce depth/distance information, but two cameras sure can. The eyes in your head don't capture distance information individually, but with two eyes you can infer distance.

Over-minifying is kind of pointless, just do a basic minify and then gzip and call it a day.

When your opinion of a fascist authoritarian government is "nah I'm good", then anything that follows is nothing worth listening to. Using whataboutism to excuse the current administration is ridiculous.

The ADCs on the ESP32 are similar to other embedded MCUs in that they are not intended for audiophile-level audio capture, as some people seem to think they should be capable of. The main value proposition for these ADCs is to hook them up

I think the next 3 or so years in the US are going to be a real awakening for you, if the last year hasn't. It's going to become more and more difficult to shove your head deeper into the sand.
