The coolest thing about this to me is that he managed to plug a trumpet into the same engine and it sort of... Just worked

huh I find this totally incomprehensible. Is this easier to read if you spend a lot of time looking at wiring diagrams?

have you ever googled a simple maths question? I often come back to that and realise we've been in this era for quite a while. Calculator would probably be 1000x more efficient!

why does it need access to my private repositories?

counterpoint - Sometimes I do this for myself to prompt myself into a reply when I'm finding it hard to compose the message. Once I've said something, no matter how small, I know I have to follow up within in a couple of minutes. It's like a kind of short-term Ulysses pact.

Also I'd say this depends on your existing work culture - I've been in places where the expectation is that everyone has Slack messages muted. If anything was really that time sensitive it's still possible to pick up the phone.

Nice! I prototyped a manual version of this a while ago. https://twitter.com/conradgodfrey/status/1712564282167300226

I think the thing that strikes me is that the default for chatGPT and the API is to create images in "vivid" mode. There's some interesting discussion on the differences between the "vivid" and "natural" here https://cookbook.openai.com/articles/what_is_new_with_dalle_...

I think these contribute to the images becoming more surreal - would be interested to compare to natural mode - it looks like you're using vivid mode based on the examples?

If you try this on Bluetooth headphones the latency will kill any rubato you're trying to inject into this
