Now we know where to send ICE!
There is an app for that.

With AI able to generate a lot of, mostly working, code quickly, I’ve taken to creating single-site browser extensions to get around UI/UX irritations in different websites. It started with AliExpress where it was a total chore to do some task I was doing semi-regularly. I first thought of creating an AI agent to do it but Gemini warned me off that. Gemini said it was against AliExpresses terms of service to have a bot acting with my account and it was also dangerous giving an AI full access to my AliExpress account via the website instead of via a limited API. (AliExpress don’t provide an API for non-B2B customers.) It occurred to me that I could create a browser extension that would programmatically take the drudgery out of what I was doing and I’d know exactly what it was doing because I could see the code. An hour or so of back and forth with Gemini in my code editor and it was done.
Being able to create single-purpose Chrome extensions for very little effort is actually a pretty powerful tool. I doubt I would have bothered with it even if it would have occurred to me before we had AI code generation.

Next step…an Onlyfans extension!

It’s rigged!!! So makes sense that you need to understand the issues and fix the system, but the 100K thing just breaks it more by turning off the program altogether.

The “I will be more careful” thing is a lie. It’s utterly incapable of learning from the mistake unless you keep it in the context forever.

You still have half left?
Better hope teh ICEE doesn’t find them!

I’m guessing he ate the other half.

This is nuts:

@Hog your career is doomed!

@Gators1 Wow that was an odd call. The much more powerful Excel didn’t replace devs in the decades before Sheets. Why would Sheets being a cloud app change that?

Because it’s cloud! I thought AI handling security was the joke in this one, but check out the API endpoint.

Maybe I don’t get it, but google sheets has been around for years?
