Page "Bookshelf" has been re-published
The page won't be a part of an Issue, so I'm making a separate announcement here. Going forward, I'll be putting interesting resources on /pages/bookshelf , and y'all can access it from there. For now, there is only one page there: Interesting Youtube Channels (so you can see it directly without all the roundabout navigating).
Cheers!

Not to mention that oftentimes the AI does work! See this quick article for an example: https://wasyaco.com/w/20260815
Would I have come up with this solution on my own? I doubt it. Does it save me time and improve efficiency? Absolutely.
AI is very powerful, and works better than ever, and continues improving. Sure, a lot of it is fraud, a lot of it is questionable, and even the best modern AI will try to ruin your codebase, if you let it. (A junior programmer would also ruin your codebase if you let him.)
Fundamentally, I believe the GPT architecture actually go it right. The way brain works, the way neurons work. Each neuron does integrals, and together they *predict*, anticipate something, and that anticipation is what builds the world around us. The "attention" mechanic that divides computation into key, query, value, seems to work so well. And arguably, there is no cognition outside language. GPT does very well with language, with plain text, and generating (and consuming) plain-text instructions. Amazingly, even if all GPT does is give you probability of the next token, this alone is so powerful, that it looks like cognition.
So yeah. We are at the very scary place where AI *is* becoming indispensable. Even in defending yourself against AI.
