While I do agree with the premise of the article, if find this way of thinking applicable for writing code as well. Your code is meant to not only be read by machines, but also other fellow humans. Writing code requires substantial amount of thinking as well. Shouldn't we write code without AI as well?

Thank you for creating this. Just thank you
Trying to be "creative" and failing consistently gave me an idea - it would be cool to have an experiment where the AI is told to ignore boring/non-creative messages (shared memory not necessary - just a strong system prompt).

Then we can have a leaderboard of humans that could manage to have a longest conversation with AI. Leaderboard would also link to the most "creative" conversations.

Kind of model jailbreaking, but with less negative vibes.

Opus 4.7 is non-usable for the tasks I have — but it’s considered an LLM.

And no one is stopping anyone from tweaking few parameters in this repo to go above 10M parameters.

That’s exactly my thoughts. Code and documentation are one of the primary types of „content” by/for engineers. Kind of goes against the main topic of the article.

According to downtector.com - both AWS and GCP are down as well. Interesting

What a time to be alive!
When I read the comments I can’t really tell if it’s all a joke or not.
That’s what someone who hasn’t disposed all of the coins would say.
That’s exactly the point. We drive cars with visual input alone and have so many crashes, injuries and deaths every day.
“You can count calories and sugar content of the meal using just a camera”

“You can have a full self driving car with just a few cameras”

In a way both things are very much similar and the real accuracy is more of a fiction than reality.

How many people in my city or neighborhood must install the app (and use it, watch notifications) for it to serve its purpose?

It of course depends on the disaster, but in case of war this app can be used to find survivors for purposes other than saving them.

Great idea though.

Does it work as well for remote workers?
That can be a paid feature for business accounts
Great idea, but it should be open 24/7 with eight 3-hour windows. One account can only use a single window during the 24-hour period. This will handle the timezone differences.
