Created on the Spot

I remember an epiphany I had as a kid downloading mp3s at a friend’s house who had DSL while I was still on dialup. You could download music faster than you could listen to it, and the infinity of it blew my mind. To say that AI is leaving my jaw on the floor on most days is an understatement, but maybe what I’m realizing today is it’s potential for creating faster than you can acquire. It’s not just that I’m having it write programs that replace a ton of apps I’m dragging around for only a thing or 2 they do well. It’s that at the time I need a program, it might be faster to make AI produce it from nothing than to otherwise acquire it.

The family’s been into Solitaire and Minesweeper, tons of sites, tons of ads, looking looking, bleh. Fuck it, I’ll just have AI make me one.

  1. That’s awesome! And since it’s mostly JS, does that mean it’s essentially a static site (meaning low-resources to serve on a raspberry pi or cloudflare)?

    1. Yup! Whenever possible I ask AI for single file & nicely packaged :). Docker is how I happen to serve stuff so I used the very lightweight nginx:alpine in this case.
