i thing i’m struggling with is AI has crossed a threshold where it’s actually useful for work, gasp, but the discourse has been so poisoned by over-hype and fascism it’s hard to talk about

@phillmv I'm here too. My job is to make product and engineering super effective. I can't escape the AI mandate. My low risk internal facing tools for silly things like OKRs are kind of the best use cases for this stuff. It's not like I'll ever get funding for a dev to help me build them.

If I want to learn about what my peers are doing, I guess I have to go back to LinkedIn or Bluesky. What a tragic statement.

@mayintoronto @phillmv

I think the first thing I'll have to find out is where exactly people are learning these successful techniques. So far all my work AI use has produced hot steaming festering garbage.

(On the one hand, sure, skill issue in AI use, but on the other hand, when I ask for a Bash invocation and it produces something that would never run, is that really me? So many questions.)

@zygmyd @mayintoronto i’ve only really played with opus 4.6. my suggestion is booting up a vm and running it in yolo mode so it can test what it gives you without blowing up your personal data
