> i struggle to find an equivalent industry that has been so all over the place and obtuse

No surprises, it's fundamentally built on promises and lies

It's the eating your own dog food.

The Open AI guy said it's now better than doctors (he said it, not me lol). He's replaced his doctor, right?

What about when it just flat out lies to you, how do you sort the right info from the wrong?

> recipes when cooking

I used it for a recipe, gave it a brilliant and detailed prompt, it told me to put 10x a particular spice and it ruined the dish.

> seek medical advice and results interpretation for my family

good luck

> repair electrical equipment

what can go wrong, really

Then you're testing how good someone is at exams as much as anything

You can sponsor a promotion; sales on a bunch of games - but it's not "Brought to you by the cool refreshing taste of Pepsi" it's like "Berlin Game Developers".

GitHub lost me when Microsoft used my shitty code to train shitty AI without my permission.

Long time Linux user, but I got lazy into the Windows ecosystem for too many years. My son convinced me to move over and I haven't looked back. I haven't found a game that hasn't run, the worst I have to do is change Proton version. Ubuntu was good, but Nobara is amazing (ndivia 5000 series drivers out of the box).

Modern street lighting provides a way clearer view of the scene imo than the old sodium lighting. Maybe it's just brighter now.

Don't buy the shit. You don't need a smart doorbell or robot vacuum at a minimum.

I had wondered about the same for nicotine, being a neurostimulant.

It's flipped, so you now get a little petrol 4 stroke engine powering the game console in your electric car.

>Why is everyone using Vercel and the likes anyway?

Because you literally connect to a git repo and your site is deployed, and scales with load. Compared to managing a VM, system and application packages, config, backups and then how do you scale that?

I have what is basically a demo running on Vercel free tier, there's no way I'm maintaining a VM for that lol.

If I had a serious site, same. If I had a team, then the equation would be different.

> I really don’t get the sense of urgency

Mind-boggling amount of investment needing a return or the promise of a return
