When it’s pissing you off stop. Take a beat and think about whether you can go around instead of through. Or whether it’s worth going through once in a manner that makes it easier next time. Walk around the lake, or build a boat. Walk around the wood, or build an path and turn it into a road by increments.

spite driven development

My problem is I feel like my irritation is with things that are out of my control. People not caring about quality when they produce things that I spend good money on (and have no abilities to turn into a new manufacturing startup or something). Software (Adobe, Blender, Davinci Resolve, etc) that has a feature that doesn't feel like it makes sense or something that just doesn't seem to work. Another thing that I have no real knowledge about. I'm a programmer but I don't think there's a good reason for me to write my own 3d software or image/video editor.

Side note, I've never looked at this person's "AI Powered Podcast" but how do they even know they're getting real information about Indian History? I was talking to ChatGPT last night about whether or not it was possible to adjust the level of the water in a toilet bowl and it confidently told me I could and how to do it. I kept discussing it with it and, at one point, it slipped in a comment about how it's controlled by the level of the trap in the back of the toilet. I said "So it's NOT possible and you've just wasted my time?" and it was like "Yep, sorry about that"

Same night I asked it something and provided it a link to read and I asked a question about it. It indicated it had gone to the page and, I assume, consumed the text on the page. It answered the question but then said something that made me realize it might be wrong. I asked it to tell me where it saw that and it told me it wasn't actually on the page.

I ask because it sounds interesting to make an "AI Powered Podcast" about things I'm interested in. I frequently want to listen to a podcast while mowing my grass or something and struggle to find interesting, long-form things about the specific topics that I'm thinking about. (Radio astronomy, weather, astronomy, music, whatever) So I'd love to do this but I trust AI outputs so little...
