If I find myself repeating more than twice, I just ask "Can this be a function". If yes, I move it there. If not, I just leave it as it is.
Life's too short to spend all day rewriting your code.

Yes, but also I would hope that if you have the autonomy to install linux you also have the autonomy to look up an unknown command before running it with superuser privileges.
If you want a pretty cool example, Le morte d'Arthur was written in prison.
They're definitely among the worst of the worst. It's always surprised me how comparatively sterile their wiki page is. Feels like they've got someone cleaning it up.
w++ is a programming language now 🤡
You can make it as complicated as you want, of course.
Out of curiosity, what use-case did you find for it? I'm always interested to see how AI is actually applied in real settings.
Lazy is right. Spending fifty hours to automate a task that doesn't take even five minutes is commonplace.
It takes laziness to new, artful heights.
True! Interfacing is also a lot of work, but I think that starts straying away from AI to "How do we interact with it." And let's be real, plugging into OAI's or Anthropic's API is not that hard.
Does remind me of a very interesting implementation I saw once though. A VRChat bot powered by GPT 3.5 with TTS that used sentiment classification to display the appropriate emotion for the text generated. You could interact with it directly via talking to it. Very cool. Also very uncanny, truth be told.
All that is still in the realm of "fucking around" though.
That's only the first stage. Once you get tired enough you start writing code that not even you can understand the next morning, but which you're loathe to change because "it just works".
"The bug is fixed, but we inadvertently created two new ones, one of which broke production because it was inexplicably not caught."
It really is big. From baby's first prompting on big corpo model learning how tokens work, to setting up your own environment to run models locally (Because hey, not everyone knows how to use git), to soft prompting, to training your own weights.
Nobody is realistically writing fundamental models unless they work with Google or whatever though.

It may be an opinion, but pointing it out won't make me like java any more.
