They are useful tools. I use copilot quite often in my work routine. Mostly to generate boiler plate code for me, add explanatory comments, review code for syntax and logic mistakes, etc. They can handle analysis and debugging quite well. They can usually write code based on plain language input if you can describe specifically what you need. And they can write documentation fairly well based on it's own analysis of the code (though sometimes it's missing context).

They're still not a silver bullet by any means. If their training on a particular language is limited and/or documentation is not accessible, it often makes up stuff wholecloth that looks like it might work but isn't correct syntax (it was basically useless with Dynatrace Query Language when I was learning the syntax last year). Sometimes it doesn't follow instructions exactly. Sometimes even when just refactoring code like to reduce complexity it ends up making unintended changes to the logic. Sometimes I end up spending as much time or more debugging AI generated code as it would have taken to write it correctly the first time.

It's handy, but it's no silver bullet. The fact that these guys got something so novel and complicated out of it is quite impressive and probably required a lot of data input, precise mathematical instructions and, frankly, luck and a lot of iterations.

Tunic is an amazing game. Definitely go in blind as much of the fun is discovering all of the secrets in the game, many of which are hidden in plain sight. The use of the old school game manual is chef's kiss for both creativity and nostalgia and remains a constantly important tool. I don't think i technically 100%'d all of the hidden stuff but I was really close.

Fuck off

I was sold when in the first episode the captain was introducing himself to his new crew, offered to take any questions, and the pilot's only concern was if they were allowed to have a soda on the bridge because the last captain wouldn't let him. It set a funny non-serious workplace comedy sort of tone, which was a great divergence from traditional Trek. But it also delivers on heavy serious story arcs at times too, surprisingly well done and thoughtful oftentimes for such an otherwise irreverent show. It's a compelling mix.

I was thinking more Ren and Stimpy aesthetics.

Ha! I fucking called that after they claimed they also were taking a hard line. Complete bullshit.

Could you imagine if ol' bone spurs had actually went to Vietnam?

Oh, I very much doubt that. They're counting on the federal goverment as a "backstop" to their over extended debts when the bill comes due (several orders of magnitude over extended, mind you. More than a trillion over extended.). They're gonna play mouth service for the public, but give Bitch Baby Trump whatever it takes to keep that backstop secured and reep all the benefits of their beyond unrealistic gamble and none of the financial consequences.
