Gahds the news cycle is so ridiculous now. Forgot about this asshat.

This is great! Good job on the form and eyes/wings. Some of my favorite media to work together at school were charcoal, water, and white gesso

“The AI hallucinated the brutality, your honor.”

“Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, just because they’re a dissident that speaks out often against authority who we clearly would like to silence doesn’t mean the AI is biased in its assessment of their guilt.”

I cycle when I can, I have a 20mi loop on trails I can do, but fell way short of my goal for this year. I also am trying to restart regular yoga classes with my partner at our gym, where we also climb and lift weights. Hiking is good too, or even just walking our neighborhood. Eating healthy (we focus on protein and whole food/plant based, but not completely vegetarian), and I’ve been tryin to cut back on the whiskey and beer but it’s just so good and shit is just so depressing in the world lately…

Am I one of the few who just doesn’t use AI at all? I don’t have to generate tons of code for work at the moment and brand new projects that I’ve been given are small–meaning I wouldn’t necessarily use it to generate starter boilerplate. I have coworkers that love copilot or spend much longer prompting ChatGPT than they would if they wrote code themselves. A majority of my time is spent modelling the problem, gathering rejuirements, researching others’ solutions online (likely this step could be better AI-assisted?), not actually implementing a solution in code.

Anyway, I’m not super anti-AI in software development, and I see where it could be useful. Maybe it just isn’t for me yet. The current hype around it as well as the attitude of big-tech exceptionalism (“AI can salve all our problems”) feels a bit like a bubble, at least regarding the current generation of LLMs and ML
