I’ve been testing a theory: many people who are high on #ai and #LLMs are just new to automation and don’t realize you can automate processes with simple programming, if/then conditions, and API calls with zero AI involved.
So far it’s been working!

In case you are colorblind like me and couldn't see the glowing red danger zones in Sektori, there's a public beta branch on Steam that has a high visibility option for those. Works great, finally finished the first level.

This is why I think spending time on slick production for a video podcast is a giant waste. The main benefit to a video podcast is it lives on YouTube and a decent number of people like to ingest things that way. They push play and tab away from it immediately. I could be nude, no one would know.
