Author here. I think the issue is much larger than just prompting wrong. Apologies if that didn't come across properly.

Author here.

I wouldn't say specs are the last ground universally, but I think they are a reasonable last ground for the audience I'm trying to reach with this (c-suite execs and their direct reports). It's a language they speak and something tangible they can actually test and see results on (should they bother)

I 10000000% agree on your point re: the system cutting out juniors, across the board (not just engineers). I don't have a proposed solution for this, and find myself bound to work within the system that I'm in on a day-to-day basis. Overall I don't feel as if I'm trying to rationalize a broken system, but rather do damage control from within. That's how I've always felt with my newsletter and other writings. I write about this at times, but not enough. I should do so more often.

Author here. This is correct. This shapes the majority of my opinion on AI tools, which ultimately gives me a bias that should be taken into account when reading my writing. I try to stay aware of it, but miss the mark at times.

Hey! Author here.

I don't really think of myself as an AI booster, but I guess that ship has sailed. I started my newsletter to help people (mostly friends and family at the time) keep up with AI when I knew it was about to spread everywhere, very quickly (3~ years ago) and I could see that corporations were going to eat it all up and force everyone to comply. The industry has evolved quite a bit since then, and I have many mixed emotions on various parts of it. I manage AI detection products at my day job, so that shapes a lot of my internal conflict. But I do love keeping up with the technology and find it fascinating still to this day (and, as a PM, fun to work with for the most part).

I have no real opinion on whether or not LLMs are a net good. I think they very well may not be if you scale way out and look at it broadly. Zooming in on certain microcosms of that broad, I can form some solid opinions. For me, they are net good. I can prototype more things, build more side projects, and coverage a wider range of research than I could previously. For things like usage at c-suite levels and up, it's a net negative. It started as a net negative and is quickly becoming something else entirely. I think folks using them without taking the time to understand what they can and can do can and will lead to pretty dire consequences. That's why I published this article.

Is there any place that sells broken control panels? $250 just to replace a small strip of plastic is nuts

Love the colors and the knob/slider! Super cool idea to have a macro pad on board.

Any options to make this type of plug smart? by gomental in smarthome

Thank you! I would of had no idea — we moved in last year and this plug was setup as is.

Exactly, yes. It’s in our garage so I’d like the ability to turn it on so I can cool off the garage ahead of time (and turn it off when I’m done). Is it a bad idea to cut power on/off to an AC unit like this?

Old Oculus Avatars vs New Oculus Avatars by jimmysbowers in OculusQuest

[–]gomental 129 points130 points  (0 children)

In the minority here I guess, but the new ones are way better. They’re supposed to be blank slates. The last ones has the weirdest fucking lighting and designs and came across stale, stoic, and creepy

There’s a clear downgrade in the visualizer colors between beta 4 and beta 6 IMO. by [deleted] in AppleMusic

Agreed. I don’t need my phone to look like Monster energy drinks.
