I never found a therapist able to go as deep as I wished to help me solve trauma. They always end up focusing on short term solutions to help me get more “functional”. But with AI, I could go as deep as I need, and I unlocked 30+ year old buried trauma that I could heal from in 6 months. Granted it’s not for everyone and I studied a lot of psychology to get there, but it was worth it. Fuck (most) therapists.
As you can see in this comment section, everyone complains about everything. If they didn't use aluminium and an OLED, someone else would have complained about "cheap plastic" and "cheap LCD". They can't make everyone happy.
I started playing with hardware manufacturing, as I think there is value into getting specific devices for listening to music, taking notes, etc. Using a smartphone is like opening up a candy box, and kills much of the joy and appreciation for what we do on it. My first project is a music player. Making my first prototype with a 3d printer.
It sounds to me in contrast to the grandiose claims OpenAI tries to make about its own products - it views AI as 'regular technology', and is pragmatically tries to build viable products using it.
> It's hard to imagine building anything as impactful as AGI, and LLMs are easily the technological innovation of the decade.
I really can't see a person with at least minimal self-awareness talking their own work up this much. Give me a break dude. Plus, you haven't built AGI yet.
Can't believe there's so little critique of this post here. It's incredibly self-serving.
I followed the same journey but was unimpressed by Rails attempt at modernization with Hotwire. Decided to give Elixir + Phoenix a try and immediately fell in love. Just like I had with rails years ago. I highly recommend people to check it out, liveview is a game changer for building modern web apps without the complexity of JS, and without the baggage of using Rails to do it. And performance is mind blowing.
Funnily enough, a JS library that I often use with Elixir, Phoenix and Live View is StimulusJS (which is part of Hotwire) I also have written a hacky stimulus controller to integrate it with Phoenix hooks for full integration.
Not sure about Rails, haven't used it in more than a decade, but NextJS was a major contributor to massive burnout. Of one thing I'm certain: Phoenix is my last web framework. I love it to bits, and I hope to retire before it stops being cool.
