As much as I’d love for Ai to live up to its hype, I have to confess I don’t use it for anything besides basic code autocompletion. Am I the only one? Feels like I’m missing out, but honestly I don’t see anything that appealing to use. I use crypto constantly and feel I have the opposite sentiment to mainstream

I use it a lot for transfers; I immigrated to the US years ago and still regularly send international transfers - USDC is incomparable to transitional wires. I use web3 social platforms, I buy and mint things I like, I’m still very interested in DeFi after being at the center of that in 2018/19 with Dharma.

when you're using crypto a lot, what do you use it for?

also the tech hedonic treadmill is next level, from people losing their mind about Copilot to "basic code autocompletion" in 6 months

My hopeful hypothesis is that they’re working on modularizing it so that they can partition off specific functions (eg math, coding, analysis) instead of relying on the LLM to do the entire process. The point where it gets “lazy” is the point where it will delegate the rest of the work to a submodule.

4-turbo got nerfed hard, it's so bad now I barely use it for code, still good for learning though.

Everyone seems to agree that there’s a future state where it’s really transformative, where you can chain these things together and it produces something coherent. And that’s exciting, but I just want to note that I’m not using it much at all right now

I mainly started using it for research and also if someone asks me a question (lol). But not sure if you seen the Gemini demo? I think non-trivial chances it changes the way we interact with computers.

I use it to gain different perspectives on my thoughts. Attempting to use it for anything else can prove difficult.

You've been using it for decades.

The cpu on the device you posted this was designed with AI.

As was the:
- supply chain of its inputs.
- recommendation system that made you buy it.
- fraud detection that enabled the transaction.
- telecommunications network you used to post this.
etc

Do you use electricity?
