Seriously fuck off with that.

Magic.

Sell them at cost + 100% so you actually do it. I reckon buyers won’t care.

This is my current late night hack, tying GPT to a simple MUD-style text adventure, to fill out room descriptions, area descriptions, spells, etc. And trying to use a real game object structure to enforce consistency etc. so can navigate the world effectively. It’s definitely got potential.

At that point you may as well lean into the idea that free will is an illusion. It just sort of stops the utility of the discussion (if there even was any).

But I want a single search bar that just magically gives me the right results. Given the enthusiasm for GPTn I think a lot of people do too.

Whether that incentivized spammers to spam, or Google et al to improve their software (or risk being outcompeted), doesn’t really seem like a “me” problem. I can’t change these things.

Cogito ergo sum.

Practicing thinking makes you a better thinker. Thinking is what makes us… us.

(To be clear though I think LLMs / AI generally can be a tool for thought.)

I agree; Django (and many ORMs) have taken the opinion that if you load N instances of a model, and then you load a related field on 1 of them, you likely only want the 1 related field. If however they assumed that loading a related field implies you likely want all related fields, perhaps there’d be fewer instances of foot-gunning.
