Why would you waste tokens on that? Just do a google search?

If you're spending that much time tying drawstrings I think you've got bigger problems.

If you have to tie your gym shorts, they're the wrong size.

It’s certainly not new. These sorts of “look at me” slop projects existed long before modern LLMs

Nope. Thats just you. The rest of us have lots of issues.

You can. You just have to close 3 or 4 “please sign up” nag popups.

I reject the premise that using LLMs absolutely leads to loss of institutional knowledge. It is trivial for an LLM to generate a knowledge base of any kind in any language which can answer any question about your institution at any time. How is a bunch of fragmented humans with limited knowledge who can’t all communicate with each other better than that?

There's a human behind AI-generated music too. A human writes the prompts. Your distinction seems rather arbitrary.

I learned music production by first learning how to produce house. Because of this, I can confidently say that house is not music. You literally just copy/paste over and over. Just because a human makes something, doesn't make it good or "music" necessarily.

Agreed. Bun is awesome! I see no reason to switch to deno.

To be fair, you can't blame a person for thinking that a runtime created by the same guy who created Node would work with Node.

> what's the point of Deno?

To demonstrate how amazing bun is in comparison.

You're getting downvoted because "AI bad" but this is actually a good idea.

This matches my experience as well. I see no lack of work to be done without necessitating additional features.

The calculator in Windows 11 still takes several seconds to load for me.

Yes. That point in time was long before AI. Remember Longhorn/Vista? Windows ME? Etc, etc…

No we still do that in web dev. This one was just a classic example of design by committee. Classic microslop
