There are so many more things to do. Nowadays, we’re just barely doing what really needs to be done. Pretty much everything else gets ignored.

The horse analogy is actually pretty good. Back in the horsy days, you would not travel to the nearest city unless it was really important. You would rely on the products and services you had in your town. If something wasn’t available, tough luck. If it was super important, you might undertake the journey to the nearest city where you could buy that one thing.

Nowadays though, you totally can drive 20 minutes to get stuff done. Even better than that, logistics don’t depend on horses any more, so you can have obscure stuff shipped to your home, no problem.

This applies to all sorts of things too. Once AI is ready to take on more tasks… some really creepy and nasty stuff will probably happen, but it might almost be worth it. I think it should be possible to do many tasks that simply get ignored today.

Like, who will pick up the trash today? Nobody. The trash guy will show up on Thursday, so deal with it. Who will organize the warehouse? Nobody. It’s not a complete disaster just yet. We can manage for the time being. We’ll fix it when production is about to stop because we can’t find stuff in the warehouse any more. Examples like this can be found everywhere.

That’s also true when processing bills. The AI can give you suggestions, which often require some tweaking. However, some times the proposed numbers are spot on, which is nice. If you measure the productivity of a particular step in a long process, I would estimate that AI can give it a pretty good boost. However, that’s just one step, so by the end of the week, the actual time savings are really marginal. Well, better than nothing, I guess.

I’m going to assume the zombies are the result of a microbial/viral infection reanimating a cadaver. Those muscles aren’t going to stay functional for long, because the body is dead, systems have stopped etc.

I’ll just get enough water and canned food to survive a week. Just lock the doors and stay inside until the zombies outside stop moving.

That would make sense.

Once I saw a documentary about truffle hunting, and dogs were much better in this regard. Pigs tend to eat everything they find, whereas dogs will obediently restrain themselves and only point to the truffle instead of eating it.

I’ve seen someone walking a pig in the forest. Yes, a large pink hairless pig. It was almost like walking a dog, but this animal was quite a bit larger than most dogs.

Here’s a bit of code that’s supposed to do stuff. I got this error message. Any ideas what could cause this error and how to fix it? Also, add this new feature to the code.

Works reasonably well as long as you have some idea how to write the code yourself. GPT can do it in a few seconds, debugging it would take like 5-10 minutes, but that’s still faster than my best. Besides, GPT is also fairly fluent in many functions I have never used before. My approach would be clunky and convoluted, while the code generated by GPT is a lot shorter.

If you’re well familiar with the code you’ve working on, GPT code will be convoluted by comparison. If so, you can ask GPT for the rough alpha version, and you can do the debugging and refining in a few minutes.

Nice! That was a fascinating way to look at it. Makes sense too.

Do they smell good?

Wow! That’s a proper sea of flowers.

If monofloral relationships require too much commitment, why not consider joining a polyfloral rainbow butterfly community. Maybe polyfloral is the way to go.

LOL. That’s pretty brutal.
