"Works on my machine", oil on canvas.

@beyondmachines1 The 1990ies want their memes back?
@Zugschlus @beyondmachines1 oh, honey. Reuse and tweaks are kind of built into the meme concept.
@beyondmachines1 Reminds me of how often my "digital native" students try to turn in work as local-machine addresses.
@ntnsndr @beyondmachines1 This! After I spend an entire class period showing them how to upload to the LMS and attach a file to their university email…

@bfuhrman @ntnsndr

Do you guys remember how many intentional localhost links Elon got as responses to this?

@beyondmachines1 Best music can be found on 127.0.0.1
@beyondmachines1 so much for "#AI" replacing programmers…

@beyondmachines1 Depends on the term sheet, but if that payment is not-to-be repaid I'd do it and simply slack off and go about my life with that money.

@beyondmachines1 Reminds me of how a friend of mine boasted that he copied over a hundred of computer games onto a single floppy disc.

Turns out all he copied was desktop shortcuts - the disc was full of .lnk files, nothing else. :)

@ticho @beyondmachines1

Only 100? My Commodore 64 has a 5 1/4" floppy drive. From memory, a single sided low density 5.25" disc stored 360KB.

Oh, my C-64 now has a USB stick in it with multiple GBs available.

That's progress!

@beyondmachines1 “but I don’t have your machine!” “Hold my beer” and that’s how Docker was born, apparently
@beyondmachines1 The next product would be cloud hosting for AI made websites.
@beyondmachines1 it's weird that people forgot that WYSIWYG HTML editor's exist. Like why use ai when you can easily drag and drop your items.
@beyondmachines1 also learning HTML is much easier than you think
@beyondmachines1 Quick, containerise their computer, shove it in a CI/CD pipeline and deploy to a kubernetes cluster! Job done.
@puck What could co wrong

@beyondmachines1 The AI says nothing, so 🤷‍♂️.

Actually I asked ChatGPT "What could possibly go wrong with deploying a LLM generated web site using JavaScript and npm?". And it actually highlighted a bunch of the risks.
