  • Was trying to be a sport and use GPT5 exclusively to write a python script that I could have whacked out in about 2 hours. The task was simply authenticating to an on-premise instance of sharepoint, reading a list of folders and documents recursively, authenticating to a cloud instance of confluence and recreating the structure as confluence pages while converting every docx to a confluence page and generating a link to the other ones.

    After 4 hours of correcting and babying it it managed to successfully authenticate and parse the file and folder structure, but didn’t implement any of the conversion and linking logic correctly. I know gpt 5 is not geared towards coding, but it’s the only thing my company has (copilot) and I had to spoon-feed it on details for the auth mechanism and parsing for example so much so that it would have need easier and faster to just do it by hand.





  • Thanks for the clarification. In the face of modern debates there is only black and white - if you’re not like us, surely you’re like them. I don’t find it cool that they support right ideologies.

    I’m against it and I will keep it in mind for future consideration, but supporting the right surely is not the extent of the things they have done or what they are actively doing.

    Where there’s light, there’s shadow and the message for right to repair and their exemplary designs for repairability also has an impact on society as a whole.

    I can find it shitty that they support people who I disagree with ideologically and great that they make repairable and sustainable products.
