Syntorial is good for learning synth programming. Lots of video courses fail to actually teach you the fundamentals. I wasn't super impressed with sonic academy for this reason. It was basically "watch me do stuff". Groove3 w

Yeah it's corporate subprime. Bundle a load of overpriced "assets" with made up valuations into something that's actually valuable, then shove it on the public markets so everyone has to buy it in their index trackers.

Well the point is you tell it what to do isn't it? Unless your job is so replaceable and generic there's little actual direction needed? I still can barely have a convo with it where it doesn't just make up total unworkable b

OMG, some of those are legit good. That said the AI seems minimally guidable. It seems to ignore three majority of instructions in https://suno.com/song/25b16ab7-bfea-451d-abb3-8b52cdd783d0?s... so I guess like most to

God knows why you think this is possible. If I don't even know what might be relevant to the conversation in several turns, there's no way an agent could either.

It definitely overcompensates to the point of defensiveness. They have all done so for years. "Why did you do that?" (Me, just wanting to understand) "You're right I should have done the opposite" (starts implementi

So you're happy with an untrustworthy lazy moron prone to stupid mistakes and guesswork? Surely you can see the first lab that solves this gains a massive advantage?

You could pitch it as your "digital nagging housewife", or a "micromanager in a box". How about "your time wasting interrupt-otron" or just "flow-breaker"? Seriously why would you think AI could read

I recommend the book The Proof is in the Plants for a seemingly unbiased review of the literature. Dude cites study after study pretty much all with the same conclusion: Eating animal products is bad for your health.

People need purpose. They may want money, etc but you see it all the time. People get bored and want something to channel their energy into. So even universal income won't solve everything, not that it's ever likely.

Exactly. They grew up fucked by social media, the financial crisis and covid, can clearly see housing is unaffordable and now they won't have jobs. No wonder they're all trying to get on benefits. Fuck Maggie Thatcher for selling

I think it's pretty clear that the problems with AI are: 1. Overhyped. Try writing a blog post that doesn't sound like it. Everyone is sick of reading it now. 2. Affecting the wrong people. It used to be the rich got richer and th

I've seen ridiculously fast quota usage on antigravity too, where sometimes lots of work is possible, then it all goes literally within 4 questions. Probably a combination of it being vibe coded shit and something in the backend I expe

Antigravity has become near unusable too for the last week with Opus. Continual capacity alerts meaning tasks stop running. Not worth the money now, will be canceling unless fixed soon.

Not true. As long as you don't blindly accept their garbage and keep things behind sensible interfaces so you can reimplement if necessary, and have good tests you're fine

It's not that difficult. You get it to work on one deep problem, then another does more trivial bug fixes/optimizations, etc. Maybe in another you're architecting the next complex feature, another fixes tests, etc etc

I literally ran out of tokens on the antigravity top plan after 4 new questions the other day (opus). Total scam. Not impressed.
