Cat

Software engineer with decades of experience here - ChatGPT can give you mostly-working code for solved problems, but with occasionally subtle and weird bugs. It’s very confident and will happily hallucinate. It will not help you with debugging or integrating, which is the majority of coding. It’s a pattern matching engine, nothing more.

I’m more about increasing spaces exponentially to really highlight how important each line is

public boolean function() {
 if (method()) {
   if (otherMethod()) {
       for (Object o : list()) {
               if (o.isAlive()) {
                               return false;
               }
       }
   }
 }
 return true;
}

One option would be to pay mods, or […] reward them in other ways.

Maybe let them use the apps they want to use? Like we had before?

Keep in mind XMPP had similar sorts of activity back when chat apps were the rage, and in the end the protocol was added to Google Talk (now dead), AIM (now removed), Facebook (now removed), and Skype (now removed). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMPP#Non-native_deployments

I suspect existing orgs will want to contribute just as long as it takes to steal users and build a garden, that they can then wall off.

The tech is incredible, posts are shared seamlessly and replies are almost instant! The threadiverse is going to have so many cool apps in the future.

Why else would they make access to OpenAI/ChatGPT/etc so cheap? So others can build businesses on the tech that get locked in before they jack up the price.

We’ve seen this rodeo plenty of times now.
