I remember being very productive in a team of developers and locking the screen wasn't necessary because everyone had full trust in each other and we shared a common goal. No time for nonsense. Obviously this changed when the corporate developers arrived, teaching the ways of the professional. We also learned to save hours of programming with weeks-long projects.

> As a leader, I can explain a task and get exactly what I asked for.

Doubt. This sentence reads strange and disconnected. The scan of the article results in 100% ai generated.

> They imagine we spend 8 hours a day clacking at the keyboard.

I do, but the order of the keys makes a difference somewhat.

Best case it won't make a difference and trust is the norm again (imo). Even if artificial super intelligence will be a thing, it will drown in the swamp that is communication just like all super intelligent humans do.

> The good news is that work gets done faster. The bad news is that we don’t trust it when it’s done.

It's not done when you can't trust it.

Maybe I missed the reference like with Claude for Claude Shannon, but Bard always sounded like "Bart (Simpson)" to me.

I thought Bard was an acceptable name. But I think Gemini is better. The "G" associates better with Google.

It seems not to notice the absurd, unrealistic nature of the webpage. Just the surface.

Maybe I'm naive, but I just click "Accept all" and rely on Firefox's "Total Cookie Protection" to prevent tracking, without having to trust a website.

You also consented to fingerprinting.

This is insufficient for the human authors but seems ideal for Anthropic, who now have established a financial moat for others to train their ai on those works (except for Chinese companies, which don't care either way).

Aside from the sentence "How many experiences continue to consume us because they were never allowed to finish burning?", I'm not sure what to make of this article. But the book it mentions, "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind", seems worth taking a look at (an older one, not a promotion).

Yes, the article really only makes sense if you're both practiced Zen and done some intense parallel programming.

"Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind" makes more sense in a group setting. I read extracts of it with a Zen priest in a meditation group.
