The creative tools just had to be sucked in like a wormhole. It's just surprising it got this far without someone intervening. Shows that someone high up couldn't be backed down.

I go to chatgpt for boilerplate library stuff, but S/O had actual people responding. It was a great thing that Guido was taking the time to respond human to human for questions related to how certain things are implemented.

totally agree. I use it for boilerplate functions and restapi templates. It saves me a lot of time for these specific things but it's been wrong many times for very library parameters.

that makes sense. maybe they think they can get decent enough to be acquired and folded in? I just don't know anyone who wants one.

is this a rush to market of a half baked product or a product that doesn't need to exist except to show investors "something"? the fact it gets answers wrong and makes you double check its work sorta defeats the purpose.

the workarounds because of technical constraints of the time make this stuff really interesting. When tech creativity shines

it's definitely been in its 'clapter' era, where there joke is: you should find this funny because you agree with this viewpoint. Every joke about jk rowling barely qualifies as a joke but they go viral for the sake of insul

What is the best argument why this technology exists or should exist? It's fun?Live translation is the only one I can think of, and even then the benefits of the persons 'real' voice are scant.

I totally blame the companies and VCs for lack of foresight and ethics. They've effectively built a weapon without a safety.

Thinking about search ads over time, I had forgotten how ads were clearly marked in a blue box way back when.

Reminds me of this "Report: We Don’t Make Any Money If You Don’t Click The Fucking Link". The aggregators sucked a lot of the juice out from the properties themselves. https://www.theonion.com/report-we-don-t-make

we need to remind folks that typing a prompt into an ai sausage maker doesn't make one a writer, musician, or filmmaker.

I always thought "prompt engineer" was a dumb inflated term. That I agreed with.

this is like a lot of tech "philanthropists" they're always ABOUT to do something nice. There's nothing ever stopping them from doing some volunteer work. But first the millions must be made. It's like borrowing

reddit's success shows how much luck and timing is involved. It was basically a digg clone until digg imploded on their own and everyone flocked to reddit. Kevin rose should be listed as a cofounder.

I feel like we need to do a PSA campaign for unaware users that old.reddit.com exists. Sorta like the remember to check your tire pressure. Feel bad for folks that use the new ui unwittingly

the most successful software will be a result of marketing and going viral (e.g. featured on HN) if the ais just constantly clone each other's apps.

They've been previewing that change for weeks, and I wondered: why do they need to change it at all? Is it some product manager justifying his need to exist?

AI for coding / syntax / learning tool, drug discovery etc. makes perfect sense to me as an old person. AI for art is a soulless parlor trick stealing from past creative innovators.
