Discovered this song back in February, and it still gets stuck in my head at least once a month. 10/10 ear worm, would recommend.

Absolutely agree.

From what I understand of out pilot, most of what the users ended up using it for was pregenerating scripts that are effectively “copy > paste > tweak” dozens if not hundreds of times but can’t be automated for one reason or another and then quickly checking the script for errors, as opposed to your pm/eng use cases, but I believe your sentiment holds true.

I don’t use LLMs because I personally do not like them, so I don’t really know where someone might think they fit best inside a workflow. But I can very easily see my self spending half an hour trying to get the perfect result by prompting rather than spend 10 minutes doing it myself because I tend to basically put on blinders once I start a task.

I don’t use AI tools when I code (my work IDE is way too old & I prefer it that way), but elsewhere where I work they did a pilot of people trying Cursor for a number of months.

What they found was that it was useful as a first step in the process, but almost always required being checked by hand afterwards. Another thing was that “code efficiency” changes fell between 10% faster and 30% slower, averaging overall ~20% slower. But almost all participants reported feeling like they’d improved by 20% faster. It made them feel like they were working faster than they were, even though it seems to have been actively hindering them.

BRB, about to go use the forklift (I’m not certified)

I will do as you ask, Marcus

I don’t have a source on this, but I do remember seeing a Lemmy post a week or two ago claiming that there was an announcement by Arizona that the price would increase because of increased cost of goods (50% on the materials for the can, and up to 20% on the actual ingredients). This is on top of the gouging that has been happening for years.

Worth noting that at this point, the Democrats were the modern Republicans. So this would be like MAGA starting a new civil war, leaving the union, and Mitt Romney arguing that a peace could be negotiated.

This is setting off all my AI alarms but I can’t see any of my normal AI markers. Hands look fine, skin doesn’t look too smooth, no details randomly disappear, and you can sort of make out the shadow of his hands on the bumper. Is this just a really good photoshop or am I missing some detail?
