Sounds like you’re 1) thinking about it and certainly 2) doing way the fuck more than most utilizing AI.

My approval means quite little, but you have it anyway <3

Security testing will be the most important.

I’ve done a couple of tiny projects that I didn’t feel like coding. So far, I have not been terribly impressed. Well, it is impressive that it can make something functional at all, and in one case, what it made was fine enough to use as the temporary project it was intended (sharing christmas music with friends/family - reading files from a directory and writing a javascript player to play them in a shuffled order).

In the other case, replicating a simple text-based old DOS game with simple rules (think a space-based game around the complexity of checkers or so), it failed to think of so many things that while it did what I told it for the most part, it wasn’t a playable game. It was close, and fun enough for a nostalgic moment, but I had to work with it on logic like “If two fleets of ships arrive at the same planet in the same turn, you have to see how the first battle goes. If the first battle captures the planet, the second fleet is not attacking the first fleet’s ships - we won the planet at that point”. Very simple concepts that sure, you’d have to think of as a programmer, but if you were telling another person about how the game should work, were things I felt another person would think about.

I hope AI works well for you. Anywhere security it needed like database sanitation or user credentials… I hope you test thoroughly and I hope you can tell it enough to remind it to implement things like sanitation and other safety measures. An app can certainly appear to be working, but give many many fronts for attack. That’s my main worry with AI code. I worry enough on the little projects I do if I’m being secure enough myself.

Not only that, but writing code is so much easier than understanding code you didn’t write. Seems like either you need to be able to trust the AI code, or you’re probably better of writing it yourself. Maybe there’s some simple yet tedious stuff, but it has to be simple enough to understand and verify faster than you could write it. Or maybe run code through AI to check for bugs and check out any bugs it finds…

I definitely have trusted AI to write miniature pointless little projects - like a little PHP page that loaded music for the current directory and showed a simple JS player in a webpage so I could share Christmas music with my family and friends. No database, no file uploading or anything. It worked decently, although not perfectly, and that’s all it needed to do.

…what?

It’s not about you. Repeat after me: It’s not about you. It’s about women who feel unsafe.

Most sexual assault is not reported.

And you will not be waiting longer, women who choose this service will be. So cut the pity party. You lose absolutely nothing.

It is said, “There’s always an xkcd.” But in fact, there are always multiple xkcds. :)

As a nation, I dislike us immensely as well. :|

So what did we accomplish?

…What did we go in to accomplish, for that matter?

I’m not talking about distractions, that’s fine to discuss, but as far as I’m aware, I’ve not heard any justification for why we went in and that we’ve reached any objectives.

Came into the comments to say the first part of that, at least. heh.

Also, I wish I could use a speed chair. Not that mine is particularly heavy, but with anemia, every bit of weight savings would be nice. But I gotta have handles to transfer. heh

Thank you for your shitty reply. I’m glad to know who you are so I can eliminate seeing anything from you in future. It’s delightful when people just come out and let you know the kind of person they are.

Well, if you can’t cook it in a slow cooker, hurry up and make it snappy!

aww, that is hilarious and delightful.

Is Harris in the room with us now?

But please do remember that there’s a difference between the average American^[1] and our oligarchs…

It is a hot economy when everything is on fire…

And it’s the same people. Who are also clever enough to profit from a bull market or a bear market. Who cares, just as long as one or the other doesn’t stay too long so they can profit off the swing.

And ironically seek to make the economy even more petroleum-dependent even though alternatives have gone from barely workable to actually superior.
