@AlSweigart if that's not scary I don't know what could be.

@SnoopJ
I'm gonna have to be very very healthy.
(Judging from my family, we can hang on into good age with minimal intervention, so hopefully that's gonna happen.)
@AlSweigart

dying super fast is also an option!

@slotos @AlSweigart

Did not know about this until I read an article - thats interesting:

Personally I think we just as a species/planet need to get human emotions out of the picture in making big decisions - like digging up all the last oil, starting wars etc. We have to have some level headed advice and decisions, OK, we can put human gate-post on it. But it should never be 1 individual or party. I would even say for local issues it can be left alone!

@AlSweigart And if you can't spot that person... well, you know.

@AlSweigart In the spirit of "know your enemy" I asked (an LLM coding assistant) to write a C99/x11 function I could call when an alarm or countdown triggers in my music player. I explained that the app is in dark mode and I'd like it modal, with a few pastel colours to be eye-catching. I forget the exact words.

Never once did it say "That's a terrible idea!"

It ran first time. But let's be frank it *was* a terrible idea

It perpetrated this:
(the coloured bands move slowly, BTW)

@AlSweigart In the US half of the adults do it too

One needs to be able to judge whether the output from an AI is trustworthy or not. Anyone who cannot correctly make that judgement isn't smart enough to be using AI.

@ozzelot @SnoopJ @AlSweigart once a doctor told me I have to give up drinking, cigarettes and too much meat.

I never drank, never smoked and was vegetarian.
Now I am prepared for the next doctors visit to oblige to his request
