I'm hosting my blog on cloudflare pages, it's analytics show 80 or so uniques every day consistently even though I barely write there. Installed Umami - 0 visitors. None. Internet is just LLM crawlers hungry for content now?
We passed the tipping point where bot traffic outnumbered human traffic fifteen years ago. LLMs are an order of magnitude worse by most first-hand accounts, but it's just a continuation of a very long trend.
I wanted to use this process (LLM -> OpenSCAD) a few months ago to create custom server rack brackets (ears) for externally mounting water-cooling radiator of the server I am building. I ended up learning about 3D printing, using SolidWorks (it has great built-in tutorials) and did this the old fashioned way. This process may work for refining parts against very well known objects, i.e. iPhone, but the amount of refinement, back and forth and verbosity needed, the low acceptance rate - I do not believe we're close to using these tools for CAD.
Went to the cinema with my kids for the 2nd time to watch this one, was pleasantly surprised to read this movie was done using Blender, highly recommended.
Money is just an expression of value, either delivered already or promised to be delivered in the future. I can certainly imagine a world where everyone sits back and all the value they require is delivered by robots, they who have better or more robots get more value.
What a nice dream. Unfortunately, we do not live in that world today and a lot of powerful people don't want us to live in that world tomorrow. These people will continue to enforce power structures that let them chiefly benefit from increased automation, not the masses.
