I’ve found the $5 a month tier to be just about right. There have been a few months I’ve gone over, but they make that super easy to deal with: they just change the subscription renewal date and you start your next month a few days early.

Yup, my Lemur has completely lost one hinge; I’ve actually got the case duct taped together at this point. Their customer support was really bad when i contacted them about it; they tried to get me to agree to charges before they even told me what they were charging me for: it took me days of escalation to get the answer that they were going to ship me a part but had no instructions or videos for installation and didn’t recommend end users do it. I’m actually looking at Framework now instead; I’m pretty done with System 76 at this point.

Sure, but to me that means the latest information is that AI assistants help produce insecure code. If someone wants to perform a study with more recent models to show that’s no longer the case, I’ll revisit my opinion. Until then, I’m assuming that the study holds true. We can’t do security based on “it’s probably fine now.”

Pedantics fighting pedantics LOL

I think you mean “pedants fighting pedants” :p

As a cybersecurity guy, it’s things like this study, which said:

Overall, we find that participants who had access to an AI assistant based on OpenAI’s codex-davinci-002 model wrote significantly less secure code than those without access. Additionally, participants with access to an AI assistant were more likely to believe they wrote secure code than those without access to the AI assistant.

I absolutely agree that it can’t create finished content of any particular value. For my D&D use case, its value is instead as a brainstorming tool; it can churn out enough ideas quickly enough that it’s easy for me to find a couple of gems that I can polish up into something usable.

This is why my most frequent use of it is brainstorming scenarios for my D&D game: it’s really good at making up random bullshit.

Growing up I remember hearing that red cars were the most expensive for insurance, as owners of red cars had the highest incidence of speeding and dangerous driving.
