I have a coworker who is essentially building a custom program in Sheets using AppScript, and has been using CGPT/Gemini the whole way.

While this person has a basic grasp of the fundamentals, there’s a lot of missing information that gets filled in by the bots. Ultimately after enough fiddling, it will spit out usable code that works how it’s supposed to, but honestly it ends up taking significantly longer to guide the bot into making just the right solution for a given problem. Not to mention the code is just a mess - even though it works there’s no real consistency since it’s built across prompts.

I’m confident that in this case and likely in plenty of other cases like it, the amount of time it takes to learn how to ask the bot the right questions in totality would be better spent just reading the documentation for whatever language is being used. At that point it might be worth it to spit out simple code that can be easily debugged.

Ultimately, it just feels like you’re offloading complexity from one layer to the next, and in so doing quickly acquiring tech debt.

Right, the first floor after you ascend from the… Initial floor, which is on the ground, QED.

Sandboxes are literally grounds for infinite creativity. Just look at The Lego Movie. No, if there’s an issue with this movie it’s that they aren’t using the sandbox to its full potential, at least as far as our initial impressions can tell us. We have all seen every single one of the story beats shown in the trailer before in other movies.

Women are so cute and I love you too and I love you too [ad infinitum]

I’ll take it.

I came to the conclusion that it was a delightful meringue

“Sure”

The system leaves us with a binary choice. Even the third “option” of inaction is essentially leaving it up to fate at best, and at worst is just handing the controls over.

The room you’re in is sealed, filling with water, and you can access a snorkel or a fire hydrant.

In this instance, the moderators specifically refused to be fact checkers and declared that fact checking would be left to the candidates. It was a bit of a missed opportunity that Biden didn’t refute more of Trump’s falsehoods.

I’m afraid all we can say for sure is that it’s not a caterpillar.

Super fun, pardner. That horse is looking a little sparse, though. Maybe you could draw that horse winning the lottery and subsequently losing most of that money to gambling debts?

50/50 that or it gets sexualized and women are told to put it away

👍

I can only think of one. The original movie of The Barnyard. It’s a kids movie, of course, and it was never going to be great, but kids were asking to leave that movie. That’s impressive.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales x BNA. Of all the superheroes this is probably one of the best crossovers, being a city-bound teenager with animal-themed powers grappling with the establishment.

I think top comment is a reference of some kind.

I heard something similar; the studio didn’t think the movie would be popular if they used too many computer terms so they made them change the function to “battery”. Initially the reason Neo has powers is because his node happens to have admin access.

Cynicism is a symptom of a broken system that either breaks promises or fails to meet needs.

You’re talking about nihilism, not atheism. Atheism does not preclude humanism.

I think the difference is that when you pay discord, they stop advertising to you.

Haha, the whole image is what was generated, including the monitor and surroundings.
