    I know we're all suffering exhaustion from all things GPT, all the time, but the new possibilities that keep popping up continue to amaze me.

    I would far rather ask AWS: "Which ALB threw the error for the request to /foo/bar" than figure out how to put the dots together and discover myself.

    This may be a matter of personal preference, but I find the style of the replies annoying.

    When I'm trying to get something done I don't want a bot telling me what a splendid day it is. I could be 7 layers deep into some rabbit hole with an entire stack of things in my head. Just give me a concise, accurate response.

    4XX errors typically indicate client issues e.g. requesting a non-existent resource. The AI dog should be more concerned about 5XX errors, which indicate server issues e.g. being unavailable.

    This is so cool. I can imagine a very fun future of semi-reliable digital assistants attached to every service or tool.

    I'm really enjoying using ChatGPT as-is but I fear that all these jailbreakers are just going to force them to turn it off.

    I can’t help feeling like sand running through my fingers. All the low hanging fruit applications for GPT are getting taken by companies fortuitously in place to take advantage of the them.

    It feels like the stock market: by the time you hear something about a company it’s already been priced in.

    It feels like the only way to be ahead is to get in on the action early, make your millions and then not have to worry about getting displaced out of the workforce in 1-15 years.

    Did they tell it to write in Victorian style so it would be more polite?

    This would be great to visualize the carbon footprint of your infrastructure.
