Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

I also use it for that pretty often. I always double check and usually it's pretty good. Once in a great while it turns the summary into a complete shitshow but I always catch it on a reread, ask a second time, and it fixes things up. My biggest problem is that I'm dragged into too many useless meetings every week and this saves a ton of time over rereading entire transcripts and doing a poor job of summarizing because I have real work to get back to.
I also use it as a rubber duck. It works pretty well if you tell it what it's doing and tell it to ask questions.
Isn't the whole point of rubber duck debugging that the method works when talking to a literal rubber duck?
what if your rubber duck released just an entire fuckton of CO2 into the environment constantly, even when you weren’t talking to it? surely that means it’s better
Yup! I’ll feed in meeting transcripts and get a list of action steps to email out to everyone. If I was in project management, I’m pretty sure i’d outsource my entire job to LLMs.
