@manton while I do use AI for writing some of my posts, I would not want this. That is a recipe for AI slop. My AI writing uses careful prompting and several AI and human review passes.

@manton while anyone can ask AI to build anything, I don’t think they will. Same reason people don’t make pizza or don’t build their own furniture. There will always be creators and consumers.
That being said, I love being able to make my own software projects. I graduated from a bit of Python scripting to full blown iOS and macOS development without knowing much about Swift.

@PixelVorschlag ich glaube das war Pong. Wir hatten damals so einen langen schwarzen Block mit zwei Drehknöpfen den man an den Fernseher anschließen konnte. Und dann gab es noch einen Schiebeschalter und da konnte man umschalten zwischen Pong, Tennis und Squash. Also alles das gleiche, aber leicht anders. 😀

So ähnlich wie das Atari Pong, aber ich glaube wir hatten so eine No Name Kopie.

@vincent how do you use it? I still find that just letting an agent „do its thing“ ends up with AI slop, because I am not in the loop. At least not while developing. I could see a case for automated bug finding and fixing.

@vincent although it was different when I was still actively working. Back then I had terrabytes to sync on the desktop. iCloud was definitely not made for that.

@vincent I keep trying different solution, but I always come back to iCloud due to the iOS lock-in. It just does work for me to to have a syncing solution that only works for macOS. I work too much with my iPad or iPhone. I need to have my files in sync in all the places.

@vincent a noble goal. Sadly, as with all other cloud solutions, it won’t have iOS integration in a way that is useful (to me). Or is Apple allowing iCloud feature parity these days? Meaning mostly that it works in the background without me having to open an app.
