I wouldn't pay for it though.

I don't need to manage skills files because I have so few of them and they're only a couple lines long.

Old Man's War - John Scalzi

Sure, AI can generate your logo, or mix some music that you can play at a party, but at some point, people will call you out for feeding them garbage.

That's when you'll have to hire an experienced graphic designer to design a proper logo, and an experience DJ to create a proper mix based on your audience's mood.

To me AI is just like an IDE. It does stuff that I don't want to do so that I get to work on the fun stuff. Huge win.

If you're worried about not being able to write git commit messages anymore, then you might have been in the wrong career in the first place.

The whole point of AI is to reproduce things that used to be mass produced. AI isn't generating high quality compilers or OS kernels, for example, because we haven't found a way to mass produce those yet.

I suggest you stop listening to clowns like Elon Musk and Super Mario.

You can see this in the real world. The people who are getting the most out of AI are the ones who already have experience coding without AI.

CEOs don't want to admit it but AI can't code anything non-trivial on its own.

And humans can keep growing while AI can only grow if it has access to high quality training data. Who provides the data? Humans.

Nuclear power benefits everyone. Who does AI benefit apart from a few vibe coders and a small amount of knowledge workers?

The west also made its goal to create a new world order while the Ottoman empire's goal was mostly revenue extraction. The British systematically deindustrialized India’s textile sector to turn it from a competitor into an exporter of raw cotton and an importer of Lancashire cloth. The Ottoman would opt for taxation instead of usurpation of an entire industry.

Scientific revolutions was already happening during the bronze age. The west simply leveraged existing systems while making use of violence and exploitation to rise to the top.

AI CEOs aren't different. At some point we'll have to admit that we're sacrificing others for our own benefit.

At some point, the chickens are gonna come out.

It's possible that we'll have to move away from AI at some point in order for society to continue growing.

We're all sacrificing great things in order to make these models more capable. Whether it'll all be worth it, only time will tell.

I was never a fan of French literature to begin with, so that might have something to do with it.

- AI already have data about its classes in their training data - No conflicting styles

This means that AI doesn't need to reference any existing stylesheets when generating new styles, which is great for context management.

With custom CSS, you'll have AI read existing stylesheets because otherwise its going to write conflicting styles or rewrite stuff you already have. This can be a problem if you have large stylesheets that take too much space in AI memory.

I built it because I was sick of paying for complex invoicing tools that charged monthly fees for features I never used.

Let me know if you want to try it out. I'll be happy to set you up with an account.

Social accounts aren't necessary either. Users can simply not login, or use their email address. If you still want social accounts, it's a one click plugin install. With SSGs, you have to bake it yourself or buy a comment system that includes social auth.

SEO is a big deal, and Wordpress doesn't allow it by default. However, you can install a minimalistic SEO plugin like "The SEO Framework". If you want more advanced SEO, you can install a plugin like Yoast. With an SSG, you have to build your own theme that will allow SEO using frontmatter from your HTML pages, or use an existing theme that has that functionality.

Adding plugins introduce additional attack surfaces, but if you're building a full-fledged SSG to rival wordpress, you're connecting to various APIs, and writing your own code that could easily introduce security bugs. Wordpress plugins can auto update, but SSGs require you to fix bugs on your own time.

Wordpress version changes can break your site, but you can easily backup and restore your content for easier migrations these days. SSGs can also break your site if you want to keep the generator up to date. For example, if you use Jekyll 2, you'll have to spend some time refactoring your project when upgrading to version 4. Now, if you have integrations that you built yourself, this could take considerable effort.

I don't personally see how an SSG can compare to Wordpress. Sure, if you enjoy writing Markdown files in Vim then go ahead, but for people who mainly want to write content and provide a service that visitors can interact with, Wordpress wins all the time.

With SSGs, you have a few options for comments, like Disqus, but the ad-free version costs money, it's slower because it needs to load JS, and your comments are owned by a third party company. Contacts forms can be built by integrating an external API. And anything else that requires storing data will require an integration with a third party service of some sort.

SSGs are a great concept but they're mostly for nerds who get boners by seeing over-engineered systems. They're also great for companies like Cloudflare because they can sell you services that come for free with Wordpress (CMS, image uploads, databases, workers, etc). For serious blogging, I'd opt for Wordpress.

AI will only sing songs that other people like, so AI singers will naturally attract more listeners.

It talks about how:

- It's much more expensive to shoot down a Shahed drone than to build one. - Iran could decide to attack water filtration plants in the Gulf countries. - It's almost impossible to win a ground invasion without spending a ton of money because of the mountains.

Basically, even if the US wins this war, the entire world economy will suffer tremendously.
