Yeah I’d be interested at about a third of the asking price

It’s hard to beat LilyGo’s lineup in this area

I turked for a bit trying to make some extra cash leading up to my wedding, but it was a very time-inefficient way to make money. I think I managed to wring 10 or 20 bucks out of it tops after plugging at it for a month.

How many days in a row can you do this, and then still be able to get things done when Codex is unavailable or the price has been raised to $UNAFFORDABLE?

Works for me, they also emailed it to me this morning

It will be very interesting to see if this lives up to the hype and/or if it is able to recoup the enormous amount of money spent developing it. The expectations from everyone seem to be so high; it's a very long way to the bottom if it somehow flops.

Personally, things got a little too realistic for me around the time of GTA IV. The earlier games felt like cartoony fun but I started to feel bad about the stuff I was doing in IV. I tried V a year or two back (I think they've maybe remastered it since?) but it ran so terribly on the Steam Deck that I refunded it.

AI splash image; didn't read

Fugu, eh? So there’s a nonzero chance this thing might kill me?

yeah, pointless AI-generated header image --> close tab

Nothing but the highest quality drama and theater from Anthropic, as always

What is the point of all these projects like this, except to say that you did something? (that you didn't actually do but half-assed a minimally plausible version of, so hey)

It's tale as old as time at this point: the LLM produced something sort of shaped like some other software, and did it in an impressively short amount of time, but it's basically impossible to bring a codebase made in this way up to production standards, or to maintain it in any reasonable way. Nobody's gonna pay money for this, or want to play it instead of Warcraft. Why should anybody care?

I forgot those existed

One of my least favorite things about AI is that every time you suggest you don’t want anything to do with it, there’s a horde of rapist-brained twits like you waiting in the wings to cry about how inevitable it is. Shut up and go away.

I have instructed my financial advisor to keep my exposure to the upcoming wave of AI IPOs as close to zero as possible.

Reads like “AI is inevitable” propaganda to me

no

I would prefer not to

This is great, I hope the people at Meta suffer as much as possible while working for them. They should introduce mandatory eyeball sanders next.

I would love a way to mute particular domains on this website

I'd take this more seriously if it wasn't regularly punctuated by disgusting little slop images

I am very lucky to be ensconced right now within a team and a company that views the current LLM mania with a similar level of disdain as myself. I'm not sure there's a place for me anywhere else in the industry right now. I wish I had the resources to wander off like this.

sounds like an L to me!

The person who put the first log on the bonfire gets exactly the same amount of wood back as the person that put the last

I’m sorry, H? How much farther down the alphabet do they plan to go before anyone gets any of that money back?

forget it, Jake; it’s Azure

yeah I mean a company the size of GitHub certainly can’t be expected to have enough staff to walk and chew gum at the same time

too bad, eh

I don’t understand why any of this would take submarine money to build. GitHub itself certainly wasn’t built with submarine money.

was hoping for OS/2, disappointed

I used to work at GitHub. I think you should find a new job.

Before Microsoft came along, the entire company was aligned from the bottom to the top around the goal of delivering a single great product. As soon as they bought us, that changed; there were now lots of ways for an individual to succeed at GitHub-the-division-of-Microsoft that had nothing to do with GitHub-the-product. Now GitHub doesn't even have its own top, the org chart just smears into the Microsoft one at some hazy point. Perverse incentives abound.

An organization like Microsoft can never recreate the magic that was GitHub. There's just too many competing interests and agendas that have absolutely noting to do with making GitHub better. In the time before I left, I actually encountered many people who didn't care if they were making it worse, if it advanced their other goals.

Was this written by an agent? It’s giving me a pain by the second paragraph.
