It's been almost half a year since we got powerful enough models, and I'm wondering, where are all those great things that were created with them? Maybe it's just me, but nothing has changed in my life so far. No improvements, but definitely, I need to be more careful when reading, listening, watching, and using things, as bad quality slowly creeps everywhere.

  In early May, I broke my leg. Doctor eventually said get on a bike trainer and recover. So, I bought a trainer, didn't like the software that came with it, "wrote" my own with AI. Since it is just written with AI, I made it open source and free for everyone. I'm now months ahead of scheduled recovery. I'd call that a success.

    What's up with that absolute word salad of a README? Is that slop as well?

    It reads more like a prompt than a useful README.

    So you expect AI bike owners to use your program?

    I asked it to keep track of features as it implemented them. It isn't meant to be read by humans.
    You go to the website, you connect your trainer, you ride your bike and you get healthy.
    wtf do you care about a readme for? =)

    README.md is for humans, AGENTS.md is for agents

    That theoretically could be within reason!
    GlacierFox · 1790754963 · focus · HN ↗
    Because you've hosted the code on github and the Readme is for humans but you've even slopped that. I mean who TF does that? Rarely see something so moronic while browsing someone's github project. Wtf. =)

    zwift is excellent, but i don't want to pay for it and i prefer to watch youtube's, instead of myself riding around in a cartoon world.
