And the price is steep but in my opinion, you really do get a lot of value here - especially with the fact that you instantly pull a ton of your library in seamlessly. If you've been in this ecosystem for a while that's a huge selling-point - or, at least it was for me!
It would have justified the price had they included this in the base model - this is the next best thing I suppose. Valve is really coming out as the good guy here in the video game industry and we should really support and applaud all that they're doing to hold the line for consumers and fans.
Has anyone found an executive, or director at any sizable organization who is expressly anit-ai? It would be interested to see what patterns emerged from that group of folks.
I had an Amazon agent tell me that I should go and take my misdelivered packages off my neighbor's porch. I told it that that may look bad and I didn't want to get shot or have the police called on me.
The AI agent and I went back and forth for like 5 minutes before I got a person (I think!). When the human agent got on the chat I pretended that I had traumatic brain injury from slipping and falling trying to retrieve my misdelivered items.
This has of course been featured on HN a fair amount , but it's always nice to be reminded of a good thing (especially since I just discovered it thanks to a brainstorm)!
I haven't decided where I land on this idea of pointing llms at mature, human-crafted software projects (again, assuming they are moderately mature projects).
It's clearly a win for 1-man projects and greenfield projects, but maybe not for what's described above ...__yet__.
