Might need to be studied in different regions to determine whether there are any detrimental effects. It looks like it might alter the soil pH which could affect crops. Sounds promising though.

I had an odd reaction reading the threads. People considering it worth posting that it is easy to tell which one is AI and which one is by a human .. are doing so because the Dall-e ones are damn good and not because te difference is too ob

This is really awesome! (Echoing other comments on this) and well documented too. Besides being useful for light frontend work, it also seems like a great tool to introduce kids to.

I do a variant of this in my interviews. I write code from scratch and talk about the statement and ask questions based on the code before asking them to make modifications to it and talk me through their thinking.

He did have to type "httpie/httpie" in the box to confirm, no? I'm rather surprised that that didn't snap him out of auto-pilot mode. There ought to have been a DING in the brain seeing that the repo this is being a

I hope in vain for a return to pre-web 1.0 -- when we were able to read without being watched. Many a revolution probably happened due to that "feature" of paper books ... which we lost when we went online with words.

Not malice ... rather incompetence. If we can't handle this much accessibility, what hope do we have of making "ethical AI"?

I understand "horrible" in this case in a somewhat lighthearted sense. But it points to a tendency to simplify cultural complexity in the interest of "legibility" from the system perspective. The same diversity of cases
