Ask HN: Is AI a Powerdrill?

2•dfps•43m ago
Powerdrills put in the hand of a country bumpkin in the early 20th century were pretty amazing, but they wound up being just an extension of intention.

A person puts their finger on the trigger. But he needs some project to apply this to (something he's building) and a screw or drill (the solution he wants to apply). If we expected powerdrills to do anything on their own, we would get disappointing results.

You can use "croc SSH" to share a terminal (this replaces tmate)
