Sure, your feelings make sense. But have you ever used MS Teams and MS SharePoint?

Feels like the more accurate name moving forward would be “SteamOS Hardware”.

It’s a tool and has its place. For me it’s currentl place is replacing Google searches about programming stuff. This is not to say the AI answers are perfect, they are just generally a better use of my time than Google results because Google has gotten so bad.

Important distinction is “Computer Science”. My degree is “Software Engineer” and project management was a significant part of the program. We had a junior group project that started with our class doing a client interview of the teacher to extract what the project requirements where. I think a lot of people don’t know that software engineer programs are even an option.

Given historical evidence of my writing that is not a sure thing.

Part of me is bothered by those explanations, but if I had to explain GitHub to a tech illiterate grandparent with that much screen space I don’t know if I would do much better.

To be fair, if our AI was as capable as his AI vibe coding would be viable.

I find the constant stream of people hyper focused on the worst possible outcome tiresome and frustrating. But instead of responding with that, I intentionally tried to express compassion and concern for a complete stranger. But because this is the Internet, naturally people interpret my actions with the worst possible intent.

That being said, how are you doing? Have anything fun you are looking forward to?

Your view seems to be hyper focused on the most pessimistic way of interpreting things. Are you doing OK? Seriously, I know how easy it is for everything going on to overwhelm you with negativity. How are you doing?

I think it would be a good idea to do a section of your work with and without AI modification. Then have people listen to both and give feedback. Good to find out if people like the modifications before you do a tone of work.

That depends entirely on how profitable it is and how much they can get authors onboard.

I do agree that a good narrator delivers a performance that adds the work. James Marster will always be Harry Dresden in my head.

I’ve seen some videos talking about iron based battery tech. My understanding is that is doesn’t wear out nearly as fast as lithium based tech and less of a fire risk. Downside is that it is less energy dense, so doesn’t work for mobile applications. But that shouldn’t be a problem for stationary applications, like the power grid.

Mostly, but not entirely.

Also as you get older and your nervous system degrades things are perceived as being bland. So add spicy because people will frequently choose pain over boredom.

True. This may actually be a boon to smaller devoplers who can sell games for less money because there development costs are less ambitious.

Yeah, prices will only go down if sales go down massively. And since video games are likely being used as an emotional coping mechanism, that seems unlikely.

I would guess the AI capabilities were over sold and even when it can do useful work it still requires a lot of human hand holding. It’s like a very enthusiastic intern, very motivated but you need to double check it’s work.

In a practical sense, making lead hot won’t break it down. But I wonder if there is any temperature where lead would stop being lead and continue to not be lead after the results cool down again?

I understand that your concerned for the person, but simply telling them that they need to produce proof before you can go any further seems fine.

Basically it is the trendy word to say, “This thing does not align to my narrow world view and is therefore bad and wrong.”
