9: ChatGPT

Made by AI: The Making of Frame-IT . In the last 5 months everything has changed, the whole landscape of developing, designing and creating has changed. It has reached the point where the spark of an idea can be coded, designed, marketed and launched with the help of Artificial Intelligence. ......... I decided to build it myself, using AI from start to finish, from knowing little about Swift, and only as much about AI as my twitter feed is full of and reading articles on site such as The Verge. ........ My first prompt was “Can you write me swift code to take a website, centre it and add the image of a picture frame around it’. The app should work full screen, in landscape mode”. ......... Within 60 seconds, GPT gave me a section of code and then stopped, it turns out there is limit in the amount of characters it can respond with. A quick Google search (ironically) showed me that by typing ‘continue’ Chat GPT will continue the code. .......... within 30 minutes i had my first app running on an iPad, via Xcode. ......... Simply by cutting and pasting and pressing ‘play’. No all things worked out, there were often errors, but error I could cut and paste back into GPT and it would solve them, most of the time. ......... prompts such as “create me a gold Victorian picture frame, it should be photorealistic with minimum reflections and the centre should be cut out” worked amazingly well ....... Two hundred and Twenty Two Lines of code ........ unleashes creativity, opens up the possible to people who would have found writing an app impossible ..........

computer science is no longer king of the apps, the Arts and Humanities are about to take over as that is, arguably, where creativity truly lives and its being set free

......... all the tools i know have changed, from previously using Xcode, Photoshop, Illustrator, Word Press and a lot of Google, this time i used Chat GPT, Looka, Framer, PhotoRoom and Bing. .

U.S. Economy May Be Heading to a Place That Must Not Be Named there is a good chance of a sharp slowdown soon. Their own policies are at least partly responsible for making that happen. ......... If a big slowdown comes, the Fed will have to pivot and cut interest rates. .

A Naïve Reading of the Gospels May Be Just What Christianity Needs In the not-so-distant past when 90 or 95 percent of Americans identified as Christian ...... At both the popular and the academic level, more people will experience the Gospels first as a form of testimony and storytelling that precedes any fully realized set of doctrines or vision of the church. ........ That Jesus is given different genealogies in Luke and Matthew. That timelines and details differ among the authors. That Jesus drives the money changers out of the temple early in his ministry in the Gospel of John and just before his crucifixion in the others. That Jesus in John’s Gospel talks differently, with his long theological discourses, from Jesus in the other narratives. ........... What C.S. Lewis once observed about the Gospel of John is true of all four Gospels: You can say that the narratives represent a form of memoir, or you can say that they’re an ingenious impersonation of personal testimony that would tax the skills of a brilliant 20th-century novelist. But the reader who thinks the narratives read like after-the-fact legend making, Lewis rightly insists, “has simply not learned to read.” .......... came direct from the people who remembered the action, with all the variation that normal memory entails. .......... The Gospel of Mark, by contrast, reads much more like what the earliest Christian traditions claim it was: the memories of the Apostle Peter dictated or transmitted to a younger scribe. ........ read Mark’s Passion side by side with John’s Passion — Peter’s denials more detailed in Mark, more inside information and details about the scene around the cross in John — and note how naturally the two accounts read like the same events narrated from two distinct eyewitness perspectives........ But the way Jesus performs the miracles is so human and un-godlike and complex — at once irritated by and responsive to his mother’s cajolement at Cana, deliberately delaying coming to Lazarus and then weeping at the tomb — that in each case the natural reading is that this is a real remembrance of strange events, the author’s or even Mary’s, the memory more potent than any theological program. .

Putin’s Energy Offensive Has Failed Russia has launched four great offensives. Three were military; the fourth was economic. ....... the fourth was the attempt to blackmail European democracies into dropping their support for Ukraine by cutting off their supplies of natural gas. ........ Russia looks more than ever like a Potemkin superpower, with little behind its impressive facade. Its much vaunted military is far less effective than advertised; now its role as an energy supplier is proving much harder to weaponize than many imagined. ......... democracies are showing, as they have many times in the past, that they are much tougher, much harder to intimidate, than they look. ......... what we’re seeing now is Europe making an energy transition under the worst possible circumstances — sudden, unexpected and drastic — and handling it pretty well. This suggests that a gradual, planned green energy transition would be far easier than pessimists imagine. .
