I found this myself recently, when I tried to use Claude to better understand a code base I'd written myself six months in an atrocious, pretentious style because I thought I was the only one who would use it.  It took much longer than I'd thought necessary to build the mental model I needed.

Anthropic details an experiment on whether AI coding tools shape developer skills: the biggest performance decline for developers occurred in debugging tasks

Read the paper  —  Research shows AI helps people do parts of their job faster.  In an observational study of Claude.ai data, we found AI can speed up some tasks by 80%.

The article points out that CivitAI no longer hosts LORAs (plugins) that allow you to render celebrities.  You'll need an account to see them, but if you log into CivitAI there's a lot of, er, very youthful looking renders.  —  Celebrities are more important than kids.  —  www.404media.co/hugging-face...

Hugging Face users have uploaded 5,000 AI models, previously banned from Civitai for generating nonconsensual sexual content of real people, to the platform

Just a reminder that CivitAI is backed by Andreesen-Horowitz, as in Mark Andreesen, and the most popular plug-in on CivitAI is the one that lets you take any prompt, say, “Scarlett Johannson, nude,” and add “Oh, and make her 12.”  —  It has been downloaded 387,000 times.  —  civitai.com/models/65214...

The biggest takeaway from this chronicle of 2022 cryptofinance disasters is simple: all of these cross-company, transnational deals were intended to create the impression that surely, somewhere, somewhere in all that, something was injecting value into the system. https://twitter.com/...

The 2022 crypto winter showed that the digital asset ecosystem is more interconnected than many participants realized, despite its core decentralization tenet

As 2021 came to a close, crypto enthusiasts were brimming with optimism.  After all, it had been a banner year: Nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, had crossed into the mainstream.
