Yeah, I have never spent "days" setting anything up. Anyone who can't do it without spending "days" struggling with it is not reading the documentation.
It makes sense once you understand the conservative mindset: "Anyone who disagrees with me in even the most tepid of ways is a flaming liberal and doesn't deserve to exist, because I'm so fragile I must be validated in my beliefs at all times."
Once you recognize that we're dealing with an entire political party that has actively driven itself insane and become a cult, this sort of thing becomes perfectly expected.
I'm a software developer and my company is piloting the use of LLMs via Copilot right now. All of them suck to varying degrees, but everyone's consensus is that GPT5 is the worst of them. (To be fair, no one has tested Grok, but that's because no one in the company wants to.)
Here's the thing... No LLM provider's business is making a profit. None of them. Not OpenAI. Not Anthropic. Not even Google (they're profitable in other areas, obviously). OpenAI optimistically believes it might start being profitable in 2029.
What's keeping them afloat? Venture capital. And what happens when those investors decide to stop throwing good money after bad?
I... write code. It does stuff. Usually the wrong stuff, until I've iterated over it a few times and gotten it to do the right stuff. I don't "click around in a GUI." If a tutorial is making you do that, it's a bad tutorial.
My pleasure! And if you're being the GM, remember to keep track of the character trouble for each character. It's basically a built-in way to make everything personal for the characters, as well as a mechanic to offer them extra fate points in return for invoking the trouble.
My favorite example is this: Imagine you've got Indiana Jones as a player character in your game. His trouble would be, "Snakes... Why'd it have to be snakes?" He gets a fate point when you invoke it (if he accepts), but in return, it guarantees that he's falling into a pit of snakes. Instant drama!
Daily Mail is by no means a credible source. Nevertheless, I'm going to let this one stand because it technically is a newspaper, and that's the actual fucking headline, God help us.
There are tricks to getting better output from it, especially if you're using Copilot in VS Code and your employer is paying for access to models, but it's still asking for trouble if you're not extremely careful, extremely detailed, and extremely precise with your prompts.
And even then it absolutely will fuck up. If it actually succeeds at building something that technically works, you'll spend considerable time afterwards going through its output and removing unnecessary crap it added, fixing duplications, securing insecure garbage, removing mocks (God... So many fucking mocks), and so on.
I think about what my employer is spending on it a lot. It can't possibly be worth it.
Dude, time is stopped. You can keep going until you want time to start again. And I've got a list for you:
Every single kiddy diddler? Suddenly in prison, with piles of evidence of their crimes.
You can solve every missing persons report where anyone is still alive. It'll take you a while, but you've got the "time."
Every bribe of every politician - and especially justices of the Supreme Court - exposed with thorough documentation.
Go around and erase all medical debt and all student debt. All of it. Use some of Elon's money to do it.
Find and reunite families that were split up by Trump's family separation policies.
Cut Russia off from the internet entirely. They've demonstrated that they're not ready to join the broader civilized community. Pay special attention to permanently offlining the "Internet Research Agency."
40 dollars? That's all? I'm salaried and can work any hours I want to, so I guess I'm logging in at work and writing a few lines of code or answering some emails.
Twenty minutes will do it. Probably round it up to half an hour just to be safe. And honestly, if I get into the zone, an hour will fly by, easy.
