    the internet can be a wonderful place. between chatgpt and code.io i manged to create and wrangle three js scripts into working correctly, without a single clue as to what i was doing.

    it made me think tho - eveyone is up in arms about copyright ripoffs of the artists, but what about all the coders out there? all this ai shit would be lost without the coders' original hard work being all over t'internet for scraping...
