As a kid, I could type their URL from muscle memory with my eyes closed - that’s how much I loved this site.

Good times.

That was a lot of fun. Brought back some nostalgia :)

Yup - In the end, it’s still just a tool that adheres to the steering (or lack thereof) of the user.

Agreed. Projects like these tend to feel shortsighted.

Lately, I lean towards keeping a vanilla setup until I’m convinced the new thing will last beyond being a fad (and not subsumed by AI lab) or beyond being just for niche use cases.

For example, I still have never used worktrees and I barely use MCPs. But, skills, I love.

Yeah, anyone who’s used LLMs for a while would know that this conversation is a lost cause and the only option is to start fresh.

But, a common failure mode for those that are new to using LLMs, or use it very infrequently, is that they will try to salvage this conversation and continue it.

What they don’t understand is that this exchange has permanently rotted the context and will rear its head in ugly ways the longer the conversation goes.

Well, imagine this was controlling a weapon.

“Should I eliminate the target?”

“no”

“Got it! Taking aim and firing now.”

This is cool! Nice work OP.

There’s something about seeing it as chat messages that makes it feel more tangible.

This is such a scary, dystopian thought. Straight out of a sci fi novel

For the few that find this acceptable (or even celebrate this), then they must also be able to say:

“If I say something that someone doesn’t like, then they are justified in killing me.”

And accept it.
