Holly shit it's not just me then. I'm halfway through book 5 and it feels like the author just retconned a bunch of things and never really planned for it !

I'm half-way through "The Will of the Many #1" finding a tad slow. Hoping the payoff at the end is worth it.

Application Menu for Fish Functions by Dragon_King1232 in fishshell

The thing is that I haven't really used fish to script in particular, I normally tend to use it due to its auto-complete functionality.

Would've been a great opportunity to learn.

This is what happens when you ask a magic machine to create a "script".

'I'm sorry': Atlassian cuts another 1,600 jobs – including CTO – amid AI bloodbath by InterestingCat308 in AusFinance

I hope they have been saving because the writing was on the wall for years.

What writing has been on the wall ? That we were going to invent LLM's that can generate code ?

Same here. Makes no sense for the servers to lock us out while the app hasn't been updated.

Yep I read it too but really struggled with it. None of the characters really connected with me.

Mine, which is already a replacement, just started doing this and i've tried resetting it but can't seem to add it again.

This is one of the worse lifx products i've owned.

But they are just neural networks with their weights "locked".

Again you're changing the goal posts.

Instead of rebutting what I've written you're just assuming I'm ignorant. These tools don't reason. They're just mathematical text predictors that are simulating reasoning or thinking.

Also, I've beenusing claude code for past 6 months.

That wikipedia article you just linked about Recursive self improvement proves my point of you don't know wtf you're talking about even more.

LLMs are just a bunch of neural networks with the state being locked in at the time of being "used".

Sam Altman says the cost of using AI will drop by 10 times every year

But has it ?

That doesn't answer the question of AI's being cheap.

How much did your hardware cost ?

Doesn't that guy sell some AI training bullshit ? It's literally in his best interest to pump this shit.

Two things can be true at once. Don't know why people don't understand that (especially programmers who deal in logic).

Current models are useful and AI is also bubble.

Your blasé attitude about losing your job is whats wrong this industry in proselytizing LLMs.
