AI Allowed to do a Year's Worth of Work This Past Week!

[Troy]

I've been kinda scarce lately, because on a whim last week, I asked Chat GPT (Open AI), Claude (Anthropic), and Gemini (Google Deep Mind) to redesign my homepage.  As part of the prompt, I gave it my code for the page. I fully expected Chat GPT to win as I have been using it to help me code my site for the past year at least.

Chat GPT's results were worse that what I currently had in place, Claude's output was completely useless, and Gemini results were breath taking -- seriously! I was like, I can work with this!  I basically, dropped everything and dedicated the past week to plowing through my site and redesigning the front end and cleaning up the back end.  There were files that I completely skipped over in my last major overhaul in 2018 because I just did not know how to migrate the content.  I automated manual tasks and have made the site easier to maintain.

 

I conservatively estimate that it would have taken me more than a year to accomplish what I've done in the past seven days with Gemini -- and that was with the free service!

 

Yesterday morning I asked it to code something and the code was unusable; designed as if it did not know what site it was working on for the last 5 days.  I asked Gemini if it'd forgotten everything we'd worked on. It replied, matter-of-factly, “Yes.”  I was floored and could not imagine what it would take to bring it back up to speed on the last 5 days of work.

 

The fix was simple I signed up for a Goole Pro account $19/mt (I'd cancelled my Open AI account days earlier when I learned what Gemini was capable of) and created a "gem" which is like a project folder where I update instructions and content that summarized when we'd done over the past few days.  That took less than 30 minutes and we were off to the races again.

 

I've glossed over many details and over the course of a few days I've seen brilliance (it would do something I would never have thought of) and I've seen what seems to me relatively dumb thing; there were a couple of times we were stuck with a seemingly intractable problems that the AI could not solve that I ultimately used my brain to solve with surprising trivial fixes.

 

The power of AI in the hands of multibillionaire concerns me far more than the Trump presidency, climate change, reparations, or who will win the next Super Bowl -- through I hope it is the Bears.

I'm not familiar with MOST of what you're talking about.....but your happiness and enthusiasm is making ME happy and enthusiastic....lol.

You remind me of a kid playing with a brand new toy that he didn't even ask for and got as a bonus on cozy Christmas morning.  

 

 

 

I'm going to ask AI how I can double my IQ, get rich in less than a year, and buy an entire island off the coast of Africa.

Do not be surprised if your island ends up with 57,000 people on it like Greenland.

As long as it's 56,500 women and maybe 500 gay but masculine men to protect them.....I wouldn't be mad, lol.

There would be no need for those dudes if you accepted a Woman King and her army on your island.

If I were silly enough to accept some "woman king" with her own army....taking charge of my island, there would be no need for ME on that fucking island....lol.

Speaking of "woman king".
I didn't like how that movie was titled.
It gave the impression that Black people had limited vocabulary.

What's the difference between a "woman king" and a "queen"?

Take a deep breath and walk with me here.

 

Semantics aside, what is the difference between a *woman king* and a masculine gay dude?

 

Hopefully, you're not looking at it from the angle that *masculine gay dudes* won't be chasing after 56,500 women around.

 

I did type that a woman king and her army would control the island.  I was referring to them whatever form of security or protection you would expect from those masculine gay dudes.

We already had a whole thread covering your disdain for that whole situation.  That's the reason I mentioned it here.  Comedic source material.

 

Woman king as a Juxtaposition to masculine gay dudes.

Take a deep breath and walk with me here.

....a walk around my island?

 

 

 

"By all means.....come my friend.
Let us....as they say....sharpen steel."

The 56,500 women on that island won't be looking at the gay dudes as "inspiration".
They won't see them as role models who'd inspire them to acquire power and eventually overthrow my position as head of the island....like that "woman king" figure would, lol.

 

Hopefully, you're not looking at it from the angle that *masculine gay dudes* won't be chasing after 56,500 women around.
 

Why shouldn't I?
If they were truly gay.....wouldn't this be one of the benefits?

This is one of the reasons the old kings in the Middle East used to use EUNUCH  to guard their harems instead of normal men.

Look at her title "woman king".
That means SHE would be "king" or have complete authoritarian rule over the army if not the entire island....not me.
I'd just OWN it...but she'd be RULING over it essentially.
That wouldn't work out.
 

With the gay militia....lol....they'd just be a police or security force without a leader except ranking officers necessary to keep discipline.

Not really. One man cannot take care of 56,500 women.  Not even if he were given 2 lifetimes.

Those dudes were insecure and selfish.  Especially if it meant forcing other men to become eunuchs. 

 

Now, if a man was naturally missing a part...no problem. Work him like a donkey.

Titles are easy to bestow and take away. 

 

The owner remains the most powerful if/until overthrown. 

 

A benevolent dictator doesn't have to worry about such things.

That might work under a benevolent dictator.  However, it only takes 1 or 2 to form a coup and want to overthrow an unrighteous owner.
