The idea of using LLMs for ideas is so sad to me. Isn’t basically all of the fun of coming up with a new drink, the coming up with part?

This is a guess but I feel like it was around the time that most coding was done for things that weren’t explicitly “programs”, like web design CSS/Java and smartphone “apps”.

Don’t worry I didn’t interpret it that way. I remember having the same jarring experience with the Blu Rays.

Well said!

Important to remember that allowing women to be sexy and own their own bodies and their own sexiness and wear miniskirts was still a sign of feminist liberation in the 1960s.

I hate that something so clever and cool is for a cryptocurrency advertisement

AI doesn’t have to be perfect, it just needs to be more profitable than with human labor.

That was actually super helpful, thank you.

Excellent points!

😂 I’m with you 100%. After I left my previous comment I had almost the exact same thought process. Why aren’t replicators producing more slop?? It doesn’t know what chicken soup tastes like. Chicken soup might be molecularly-speaking very similar to chicken shit soup.

I know we’re debating a fictional tool (I’m here for it) but I’m saying I don’t think it replicates “the process” it replicates the end result.

I just want to say I think you should post more discussion prompts while stoned bc I love threads like these

Replicators don’t simulate cooking though, they rearrange atoms. It’s an entirely different process and I have to imagine that translating between them is more of an art than a science.

Yeah, food is like music, it’s just not enough to hit the right notes and there is infinite variations even with the same notes in the same order. Food also uses TWO senses so it’s even more complicated.

It’s probably difficult to program something to arrange atoms just the way your grandma used to.

That’s cool, it just… does those things? How does it connect to those apps? I can’t even get Gemini to set a reminder and that’s on a Google device.

OP said coding AND “some automation”, what is being automated?

Just curious, what does “some automation” entail? I thought LLMs could only work with text, like summarize documents and that sort of thing.

Lol. And yet it was still difficult for them to fire him!

On the flip side if you invested in the equivalent of the Roman SNP500 you’d indeed have a gazillion denariuses.

He was more than a Q. He was a union man.
