@nprofile…ssyg Has the Pelican-on-a-Bicycle test become a victim of its popularity now that engineers may be optimizing for the benchmark?

@nprofile…4afx I asked my friend who is a teacher how he deals with this. He said he asks students to create an AI-generated draft and improve it, then submit both the original draft and the final product. I thought that was quite a creative and agile way of teaching. As you point out, it’s the responsibility of educators to foresee this and be proactive about it.

@nprofile…ssyg Unless I’m missing something, this only looks at the cost of asking a question once the model is built but not at the cost of building or updating the model. I’m curious how that would compare (and frankly have no idea).

@nprofile…fv4z I once heard Michael Franti talk about how he shifted from writing political songs to writing more about love and connection. I don’t remember whether it was during a live concert or in an interview but while trying to find the source, I stumbled upon this interview where he talks about this shift: https://www.thenation.com/article/culture/michael-franti-interview/

@nprofile…4afx My general impression is that the state of iOS development using AI is still quite a bit behind web development. But regardless, I think the main point of the episode is quite timeless – that the hard part of being an indie is really making the right choices in business/product strategy and knowing what will be useful and appealing to your customers.

@npub1eee…e209 As a consumer (non-professional) how much would you be willing to pay for this? And if they were “affordable”, would you and your wife buy two, to watch movies together?

@npub1hvd…9sq9 On iPhone (not iPad), car mode – swipe left during a call – has exactly that.
