And, yes, I referenced the documented/official RGB colors to label the calendar because...you guys have met me, right? 

 

In related news, I have folded like a cheap lawn chair on using AI/LLM for data processing tasks (still not overly impressed with the actual "thinking" tasks) and am currently finishing a prompt to generate the OTT and NHL ICS calendar files from the official Excel schedule the NHL has released the last few years. This used to be a medium manual labor task (and an overnight import to iCal because it was reading from a CSV to create events one by one instead of rendering a complete ICS file), and now I'll have the calendars populated as soon as I download the file from the NHL press release.

Boss gave me a mandate to "play around with AI" and when I asked "What problem are we trying to solve with AI?" He said, "I-unno." So I'm slamming the company-paid-for Claude Pro account with personal tasks. 😈

 

Do any of y'all interact with LLMs for work? Because I really feel like a ****ing idiot on some of this stuff, my brain is just having a hard time figuring out what I can do with it, other that speed up processing tasks.


i make silly pictures with Google gemini. does that count? 


 

Eh, probably not.

I still feel a little dirty for enjoying using it so much, I feel like I killing part of the earth with every chat window. And it doesn't help that crafting good prompts is essentially a programming language in and of itself, so I've been burning some usage just trying to figure out how to talk to him/it.
