If GPT were smart it would say switch to the metric system, you troglodyte!

We were talking about how the cloud gets “hacked”…

I don’t trust AWS. I trust Azure far less.

We are moving to AWS and I am trying to get management concerned about security and role management, but right now they aren’t interested in centralizing that. I am guessing they will at least start to think about that stuff once the bills start coming in higher than they expect.

For me personally, post-nut clarity isn’t conducive to productive coding. I do my best work when my mind is racing and I’m hopped up on caffeine and nicotine.

What is good for problems I can’t figure out is just leaving it and picking another problem. In a day or three I’ll often just suddenly see the answer for the first problem. Assuming I have the luxury of the time to do that of course. Most of the time I just have to brute force it by trying approach after approach until I find the solution.

I guess we each have our own ‘best creative’ or problem-solving moments.

For me, I get some of my better ideas while in the shower in the morning.

Sometimes I go over challenges before falling asleep and occasionally I wake up next day with a solution in mind.

Youtube is lies. I spent hours today trying to get a new IDE set up and nothing works the way it works on the fucking Youtube. There’s a thing on the bottom where I am supposed to be able to click through virtual environments but it doesn’t fucking exist on my version. Uninstall and reinstall didn’t work. I finally ended up getting shit working on a docker container, which is cool, but then there is some issue with port forwarding or something and my app didn’t work. Programming is bullshit!

Maybe you should switch to marketing…

I probably should. That’s where all the hotties are and my experience is most of them are overpaid.

A college student created an app that can tell whether AI wrote an essay

Some students have been using ChatGPT, a text-based bot, to do their homework for them. Now, 22-year-old Edward Tian's new app is attracting educators working to combat AI plagiarism.

I bet he’s popular

One of my friends is raving about ChatGBT, which means he read it in some cultist/conspiracy news somewhere. What does it actually do?

Apparently what we’ve been doing for years, mimicking real people, at chat speeds.

We’re cutting edge!

@Kilemall Your bot is spilling secrets again!

[Lob12]

I bet the bot is just actually Gators writing essays instead of working.

So, this ChatGBT is just a chatbox that answers questions? How is this any different than Siri or Alexa?
