  Current AI’s ability to augment coding is no joke. I had ChatGPT (not even the latest one) write me a prosody plugin in Lua for some Jitsi integrations I was working on. It got it almost right, but I had to go in and compare its work with other prosody plugins to see where it went wrong. But see, at that point the only thing I knew about prosody was how to install plugins for it. Now I have a good understanding of how it works and also how it works with Jitsi based mostly on ChatGPT’s code and explanations. This all happened over the course of maybe two hours. I think if there’s anywhere AI will excel it’s gonna be that, shortening the feedback loop but not replacing it entirely.

  They definitely have a place in creative work. As an engine not a driver. For example, when writing songs I use them to help me try and rephrase things or find different words to convey what I want. I’ve also used them to give me ideas for variations to explore on game mechanics, or generate sample data with a loose set of parameters, or create some reference material for drawing. But every time I’ve used them they have pretty much never gotten it right the first time. Always there’s revisions, always there’s at least some massaging I have to do on my part to make it coherent. And why wouldn’t there be? If I could write a prompt so precise that it gave me something exact, I would need to already know precisely what I want and maybe wouldn’t even need the AI at all. For creative stuff at least, it has to make some garbage otherwise it’s not really creating enough variation to be useful.

  Pretty much the reason I never used it on my last phone. Even went through the steps to have it recognize my voice better, and even when it hears it the first time there’s a 1 second delay before it actually starts listening, which makes me further contemplate why I bothered.

  J’accuse!

  And pounds are what Americans use instead of kilograms.

  Besides, the limit of bandwidth is almost entirely artificial. Yeah, it costs some amount of money to send, say, 500 SMS messages, serve 1 GB of data, or process a 5 minute phone call. But not nearly as much as you’re paying and it’s not like they pay per SMS/GB/minute, once the infrastructure is there they pay a fairly flat amount to keep each service area running (until it’s time to upgrade but depending on where you are, that might even be publicly subsidized). So, whether you’re allowed 10 GB or 20 GB per month makes barely a dent on their cost, but getting you to pay $15 for 20 instead of $10 for 10 when $20 for 20 already isn’t an option is really good for their bottom line.

  You thought my full size oven, 6 burner stove, and kitchen island were for… preparing and cooking food? Am I some kind of servant?

  Not that guy but I’d probably ask for everything upfront.

  When I played it with my partner we would let ourselves get heated and yell with the understanding that when the games over none of it was meant. Although of course we avoid directly insulting each other lol

  Got any recommendations for good coop games to play with a partner?

  It hadn’t been updated in 3.5 years? And the UPS (I’m assuming it had one) battery lasted that long too?
