  Am I one of the few who just doesn’t use AI at all? I don’t have to generate tons of code for work at the moment and brand new projects that I’ve been given are small–meaning I wouldn’t necessarily use it to generate starter boilerplate. I have coworkers that love copilot or spend much longer prompting ChatGPT than they would if they wrote code themselves. A majority of my time is spent modelling the problem, gathering rejuirements, researching others’ solutions online (likely this step could be better AI-assisted?), not actually implementing a solution in code.

  Anyway, I’m not super anti-AI in software development, and I see where it could be useful. Maybe it just isn’t for me yet. The current hype around it as well as the attitude of big-tech exceptionalism (“AI can salve all our problems”) feels a bit like a bubble, at least regarding the current generation of LLMs and ML

  That is amazing! Now, I need to see about using weather satellites to explain the bugs in my code at work…

  Ahh I missed that!

  Makes more sense then – that seemed a bit long for any update

  I booted up that system and after waiting an hour or so for Windows Update to finish

  … 🙄

  Crazy workstation though – wish I had need for all that power so I could justify buying one to play with

  Overwatch 2 (unranked) on PS5 (mostly a way to hang with my brother who lives in another country)

  And also MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries on my Linux laptop

  Me and my brother would sit in the magazine aisle at the grocery store and pore over Nintendo Power like it was a religious text lol

  Also, you just made me remember getting all those demo discs with PlayStation magazine
