I told ChatGPT what to do, but apparently he's sorry, he can't do that.

I was *so* disappointed when, as a lad, I went to watch the Milk Race and didn't see a drop of it; just a bunch of cyclists in lycra.

Indeed. It's all very well having AI generate a fan controller for my campervan fridge, in 1 hit with no errors from a carefully crafted prompt, but for complex mission-critical situations it does feel like it's heading for HAL or Skynet.

I should add that poor Claude kept tripping up over the lack of memory in the microcontroller, and in the end I had to guide it to a solution, but it was still very impressive.

Example: all written by AI. It wrote the backend yaml script to create the screen layout, the javascript to convert to an image file, and even the microcontroller code in the display to wake each hour, connect to server over wifi, grab and display the image, then go back to sleep.

I'm a (slowly) retiring dev. For my work stuff Claude AI has saved a lot of time, e.g. writing handy functions for me; in others it basically makes me redundant! I've been adding smart devices to our campervan, and I just talk to AI as a junior dev and writes the entire thing for me.

This is an ePaper display connected to my van WiFi and Pi4 running HA. Some icons faked awaiting actual hardware.

The weather picks up the van's GPS location using an Uputronics GPS HAT. Schedule is from Google calendar. Sensors are switchbots (temp/RH) and Mopeka (levels).

I think they're going through accounts changing them over gradually. Mine switched a few days ago.

Indeed. Perhaps it should be a requirement that those making these decisions first invest some time learning about investment before they make silly mistakes. Watching Ramin's channel for a start ๐Ÿ˜

And practically that's the wrong way round; if you want safe cash for emergencies or planned expenditure, then you want it readily available in an ISA and not tucked away in a SIPP where there are rules and possible taxation on extraction.
