Duckduckgo is terrible, I try to use it every year purely because they gave me a free shirt a decade ago.
Im learning to make edm visuals on tiktok using primarily Blender. hardlysleep.ing on ig/rednote, etc.

Guess it depends on the project or model, I haven’t used it in an ide for a while now, since agents have been a thing. I have it set in it’s “soul” to always keep backups, make sure it can restore the backups before making changes, or if i’m in a good stable place, I have it work on a duplicate rather than the main thing so I can make sure it isn’t breaking anything. Every once in a while it fucks up but I just tell it to reverse/restore and it works out fine. Never had any issues with github. In the case of agents, telling it to plan, always ask for confirmation, work readonly on every task until the user allows writing, etc. helps a lot.
You just have to be ultra specific with instructions which feels counter intuitive to using llms or ai in general. Also helps to only use it for meaningless personal projects and not real work I guess lol.


But what about the poor corporations making money off those games that already fired all the devs that made it after overworking them?


the greater issue imo is how its really not bad anymore, sure you still have to babysit it, but its improved significantly without any sort of regulations or laws in place to protect workers


Your mental disability is not my problem


Have fun on internet archive grabbing collections, no consistent naming structure


Before I started having it make personal projects for myself I spent maybe 5$ every 3 months on api costs, if that.


When ai came out everyone wanted a way to speak to their computer and have it actually do anything you could do or automate it, it literally can with agents and does it well, I ssh into my pc and use it over terminal all the time for stuff that would be a chore to do unless I was sitting at my pc. (You can use any chat really, telegram, discord, etc.) It literally asks before doing anything, you can have it memorize that it should always make backups or work readonly with duplicates, etc. if you’re scared of losing sht, but I’ve had it recover things for me that I’ve lost myself very often, never has it been the reason I lost anything.
Also solves any issues I have with ram/cpu usage by finding the cause and giving me options to limit them. My lazy ass would never do that before and just restart and uninstall the potential causes of my new performance issues.


Ive used ai that way with deepseekv4 flash to modify my files for over a year with hermes, work great, enjoy doing sht the tedious mindless way? Made internet archive usable for me, had to rename/reorganize so many loose issues that had different naming structures and file formats.


They aren’t even as against ai in china based off what I’ve seen on rednote, it’s not like the us mentality, but they did seem to favor antrhropic ovee their own companies before they got blocked


They loved claude in china, when it got blocked they were tweaking on rednote


My logic is itd just help me find likeminded ppl if mass leaked, like trump supporters finding each other.


Got a local food truck epidemic of mid overpriced food and no food safety standards, in my college town it was great, back home makes me wish they regulated more


Literal nonissue to use ai for sht like this and the decompiling of games to make mods people have been doing, it could all potentially run locally, its not replacing any jobs and its tedious sht ppl wouldnt do otherwise unless they were insane, like game crackers
Lot of fake job listings to collect data or show companies are hiring when they aren’t so they look like they are still growing/profitable.
