So does the cheapest calculator?

Almost zero readers buy a book based on the title or content alone. They buy Dr.Phil because they saw him on TV and know a bit about who he is. On the other end of the spectrum, there's people buying books because they respect and admire the author's other work.

AI can never touch the human interest angle of authors, the best it can do is hope to trick people temporarily, and that doesn't last long.

Ask yourself, how many "self-help" books are published by Anonymous?

The scope of the cognitive effort is the total context of the system. Yes it matters.

The purpose of code is for humans to read.

Until AI is compiling straight to machine language, code needs to be readable.

Redditor breaks down an ambitious guide to building positive social connections in multiplayer games.

Weird to claim the llm does all the boring learning and boilerplate for you as a selling point, but then also insist we still need to responsibly read all the output, and if you can't understand it's a "skill issue".

Also the emphasis on greenfield projects? Starting is by FAR the easiest part. That's not impressive to me. When do we get to code greenfield for important systems? Reminds me of the equally absurd example of language choice. You think you get to choose? What?

Imagine all the code these agents are going to pump out that can never be reviewed in a reasonable time frame. The noise generated at the whim of bike-shedding vibe coders is going to drown all the senior reviewers soon enough. I'll call that Cowboy Coders on Steroids. Anyone with skills will be buried in reviews, won't have time for anything else, and I predict stricter code gen policies to compensate.

AI is going to 10x the amount of bullshit, fully automating the process.

NONE of the bullshit jobs are going away, there will simply be bigger, more numerous bullshit.

"use" vs. sell is the problem here. Or do you think they are the same?

It's not baffling in the least.

No matter the extent you believe in the freedom of information, few believe anyone should then be free to profit from someone else's work without attribution.

You seem to think it would be okay for disney to market and charge for my own personal original characters and art, claiming them as their own original idea. Why is that?

Hot take about fermentation in these recipes.

> Lacto-ferment chillis with your choice of veg and/or fruit in a brine solution for a couple of weeks at room temperature.

Room temperature is no kind of standard. Optimal fermentation is up to about 75f max. I live in the south and most of the year room temp for me is at least 76. I've ruined several batches of lacto-fermented experiments before making that connection.

Don't get me started on vague salt measurements like "seawater" taste.

You certainly can in the US too, they "pre-authorize" some token amount to be sure you have the funds and off you go.

Someone who complains is for sure a pass.

That applies to any interview test though, you don't need to contrive an absurd scenario to do it.

> as your hiring manager, I don't have the time to tell you you won't have access to most of the ones you're familiar with

You don't have time to explain the job requirements or stack?

Totally agree about NFTs, but any artist gets a full pass from me.

Artists have it rough and I don't blame them for being charmed by con artists.
