Yup. ChatGPT has become Chat General Contractor at my house. I am moderately handy. But talking through a project with an llm before I start it has been great at helping me evaluate its difficulty level, rough estimate of how long it will take, to dos and not to dos, and helping me get unstuck or fix a mistake.

And frankly its convinced me several times that I should just hire someone to do x instead of trying to do it myself.

The alternative is watching youtube videos which are almost always diy people who try to tell you that you can do everything yourself.

One Battle After Another is a fairly loose adaptation, no?

I'm in my mid 30s and I already feel the time contraction. I have noticed that weeks are going by incredibly quickly, and months and years have started to feel like they slip by faster and faster. I live a fairly busy life, and I enjoy it, so I am not walking around with regrets, but it is concerning sometimes that it seems like an entire season has gone by without me really realizing it.

My understanding is that the median point in most people's subjective experience of life is in the late teens to early 20s. The cruel irony of retirement at the end of life is that it's effectively one long summer afternoon when you're a child, in terms of subjective experience.

LLMs have been trained on the collective output of the global population. That is why.

I could be wrong but I think the voice mode that chatgpt uses is still a 4.something model.

"probed them all the way through. They're completely meat."

The two talking, and other races, are machines that cover themselves however they like. These two are machines with artificial skins. That is normal. Fully meat beings are not. At least that is how I always read this story.

Machines with artificial skins? I'll have to re-read the story, I thought the "meat" was matter and the aliens were made of energy.

No, it's literal meat that they have issues with. Machines are fine, hydrogen clusters are fine.

+1. Skip would be nice.

Not exactly the same but I wish copilot/github allowed you to have two plans. A company sponsored plan and your own plan. If I run out of requests on my company plan I should be able to use my own plan. Likewise, If I have 1 github account that is used for work and non work code, I should be able to route copilot to use a company or personal plan.

Why would you want to mix your personal plan with your company plan and subject yourself to the company auditing your personal GitHub, computer, etc. If the company wants you using LLMs then they should pay for it and increase your limits.

It’s wild to me that you’d want to spend your personal money to use productivity tools for work. If your work machine broke would your first instinct be to buy your own replacement or to have work pay for it?

Maybe what you actually want is to simply be able to switch to a another account when credits on one run out.

Because mixing company and personal accounts might not be a good idea.

All it takes is one good neighbor moving out and a bad one moving in next door…

Exactly. 8-9 people out of 10 are just fine. 1-2 out of 10 (likelihood multiplied by the number of shared walls/ceilings/floors you have) are enough to never want to share a wall/ceiling/floor again.

Ha! I wish I worked at the places you have worked!
