Dithering!

I poured hours into the original. I remember finally having to plan out my base for the final level on paper as there wasn’t a tile to spare!

I gather this is because AI assistants are inundating GitHub with requests. Their infrastructure must be drowning in slop.

Haha I always loved this tune but I’d never seen the video.

Were drum braziers really common on the streets of the US in the 80s/90s or is this just a TV trope?!

I meant it as a joke but I could imagine them getting one email from Germany about GDPR and then deciding to geoblock the whole country instead of complying (and ignoring the fact it applies elsewhere in Europe too).

Maybe they really couldn’t be bothered with writing an Impressum!

So kind of like a personalised learning assistant? I realise it’s different but this inverted instruct approach puts me in mind of Doctorow’s reverse centaur!

Don’t you find that the links you get are hallucinated though? Even if they’re not now you can imagine this collapsing into slop echoes…

I’ve tended to ask for examples to help me bootstrap new projects. A bit like getting customised docs. I certainly haven’t had enough success with generated code to think about automatically adopting it.

This is interesting and sounds like how I’ve been using it - basically like customised stack overflow answers.

Would you mind elaborating a little on your approach? Are you saying you provide it with guidance and links or are you asking it for those?

This reminds me of the book “Only you can save mankind” by Terry Pratchett. The aliens surrender once they realise the player is apparently immortal!
