I'm been slow getting on the AI train. I've used first github copilot, then switched to Cursor, not tried Windsurf. I've not tried any "cli AIs". For AI chat sites I'm mostly using Claude and (sadly) gemini (deepseek seems to have fallen behind). openai seemed to fall behind for a while but maybe they've caught up. I've not used grok or local AI yet.

I've not used any AI api yet, but spent yesterday reading gulag gemini docs (yes, I know it's jewgle but their free api keys seem very generous, no?). Currently I'm trying to create some easy custom for the AI use such as saving files, ls, and such. I think my first goal will be to use free gemini api keys and see if I can get the AI download it's documentation on the documentation site and convert every page of it from html to markdown, so that AI can know it's own documantation api (or so that I can print it all in one go) etc, I think such will be helpful in situations where I need an AI to understand apis (any such api that is exclusively on webpages. btw I hate documentation websites, just give me a documentation git repo or pdf with all documentation so I dont need to go from link to link to link).

You had any cool projects using AI? How do you progress to become an AI master?

How do you mean? It misspells? Or steals my data and sells it to jews (undoubtedly)? I believe AI to be extremely powerful. In my experience: for some projects it is of no use at all, for others projects it has sped up development substantially and reduced tedium. What's your experience with AI?

Yes to all of the above. I've used it a couple times, and found it to be seriously jewed. I'm retired and really have no practical need of it , and have zero plans to use it - at present. Of course (((they))) may force their hand, implement it across the board, use it to replace search functions and thereby have de facto implementation by the masses. If that occurs, well my need for same will magically evaporate. I don't even own/use a smartphone, so I'm an outlier for sure.

Resist.

100%.

(((they've))) already started with jewgle giving AI responses at the top of their search.

Yes AI kind of sucks and I wish it was never invented but I think we need AI competence in our struggle to beat them.

I'd agree. I'm trying hard to not bury my head in the sand, but it's getting harder and harder to do so. I learned how to use a slide rule in high school, and then shit started to change. I learned Basic, in high school, had a Commodore 64 in college, learned Fortran - even used card stacks for a couple years, and then I entered the workforce about the same time virtually every business implemented IBM PC clones. Hacked DOS, ran spreadsheets and word processing via command prompts and was drafting by hand prior to the hwy dept implementing CAD. Started off running CEAL design software and exporting output to CADAM, learned AutoCAD V8 in private practice about the time Windows 3.1 achieved market share. We went through V11&12 and were running the supposedly dial-bootable V13 when Win 95 hit the scene (turns out it was dual crashable), and then we switched over to Microstation V4 because our biggest clients (DOTs) were using it. And in addition to the constantly morphing operating systems and CAD platforms, there were numerous iterations of design softwares that worked with or within the CAD platforms.

I left the industry in 2016, and at that point we ran Win7, Microstation V14 and the latest version of Geopak roadway design software. Plus I still dabbled in AutoCAD, and picked up some BIM skills along the way to go with it - plus all the office suite applications and productivity crap that went along with it. Built my own computers for maybe 20 years too, but all that technologic change wears you down. I always said I would retire when I was no longer willing to embrace the change, but was able to get out of it a little earlier than that. For 40 years I did that routine - and it got faster and more furious with each iteration. But you're right, you gotta keep on top of the latest and greatest to stay relevant - particularly if you want to keep in the game (even though it's rigged).

You - and my babble above - have now convinced me I probably need to screw with it (AI) more than I was planning on. Because fuck them. So thanks for the nudge!
