I have started to use it to write small throwaway things. Like write a standalone debug shader that can display all this state on top of this image in real time. Not in a million years would I had spent time to mess with fonts in a shading language or bring in immediate gui framework or such. Codex could oneshot that kind of thing and the blast radius is one file that is not part of the project. Or write a separate python program that implements this core logic and double check my thinking. I am not a professional programmer though.

The credit card tapping option should be required by law. This registering apps and fobs flow is the worst ux imaginable. And while we are at it the car should hold the payment info. Plugging it in should be enough. I know it’s all coming.

I agree but I'd go further: Cash should be required by law, we shouldn't require people to have a bank account just to buy electricity.

Great game, I returned back to play next day.

> I don’t think the gates should animate up into the air. It breaks the visual logic of 2D for no benefit.

I also feel it would make more sense either for everything to be 2.5D or pure top down. Having appear / disappear animation is nice feedback to user though.

Other thing is that maybe the hitbox should change when the wall comes up. Now to remove it you need to press the grid, essentially the root of the wall. Unintuitive to me.

Thanks for the game, looking forward to when there is multiple horses or sheep to enclose.

> The reason nukes have been good is because it makes it clear that war is unwinnable which effectively ended direct conflict between world powers. Yet of course proxy wars are alive and well with Ukraine being the king of them all.

Not looking forward to being your proxywar or small regional conflict. It’s amazingly frustrating to be dragged into this without any provocation or possibility to actually affect the situation. Just unfortunate geography I guess.

I don’t think nukes stopped the direct conflict between world powers. They made it possible for the first time. There is no reach to US without them.

War in Europe or parts of Asia is easy the old fashioned way and seems to happen on a regular basis.

”What a way to show them. You rock! Unfortunately I can’t create the musical art you requested as you reference multiple existing musical acts by name. How about rephrasing your request in a way that is truly original and unique to you”

Again I’m referring to the future. When ChatGPT came out nobody thought it was good enough to be an assistant coding agent. That future came to pass.

Nobody gives a fuck about what ChatGPT can currently do. It’s not interesting to talk about because it’s obvious. I don’t even understand why you’re just rehashing the obvious response. I’m talking about the future. The progression of LLMs is leading to a future where my prompt leads to a response that is superior to the same prompt given to a human.

Could China attack US? Why would US try to attack China in asia? Not an expert but that feels like losing proposition. I think people confuse proxy wars with wars. US is under no threat of being actually attacked.

You could ask the same question about Japan attacking America but they did do it.

If they think conflict is inevitable then they may well feel they will get an upper hand by moving first.

It counts as an attack, but how close was US to actually being taken over? Usually when you fight a war the real risk is that you cease to exist as a country. I know nothing about war strategy, but seems to me US is in a great position as long as you get along with Canada and Mexico.

> Keep in mind that the cleaning lady is as much a human being as the Chairman.

Considering the Warren Buffett wisdom-industrial complex this might be the best place to share these nuggets. And I know his heart is in the right place, but the fact that you need to spell this kind of thing out is somehow extremely depressing.

The fact that he spelled it out does not imply that it needed to be said. There is no idea in that letter, that is not personal history, that hasn't been said before.

> Even in the dot-com era, the early internet was already changing media and commerce in fundamental ways.

I agree that AI is overhyped but so was the early web. It was projected to do a lot of things ”soon”, but was not really doing that much 4 years in. I don’t think the newspapers or commerce were really worried about it. The transformation of the business landscape took hold after the crash.

Also history can be turned off. Added benefit that after that it only shows few shorts before blocking them.

> This is the one thing that puzzles me most about dating apps: where do all these pictures come from?

People actually curate the profile and copywrite the text. It’s not real authentic life documented by accident. Once you put your profile there for others to judge you soon figure out that it needs to be manufactured. That’s when you start asking for others to snap a photo while your out doing the thing you maybe wouldn’t even do if it was not for the show.

This. People are taking trips just to collect dating/social profile pictures, it's insane how manufactured successful profiles are.
