And I know not all of these are going up because of AI. I have some controls, and some maybe don't deserve to be there at all.

I while back I made a page that showed the impact of AI just on GitHub stats (PRs, commits, etc...) which I liked because it showed that they are getting absolutely hammered.

Since then, I've wanted to see more graphs that are seemingly going vertical because of AI. But also going vertical downward (StackOverflow) because of AI.

So I found some primary data sources and packed them tight onto this page: https://vester.si/ai-impact/

Now includes data from lots of software things like GitHub, npm, pypi, but then slightly further from that with arxiv, crossref, domain stats (.ai tld as an example), and even US Jobs (BLS has a nice API).

I'm still working on some cleanup with another one or two datasources, but it would be interesting to hear if you know of some other numbers to put on here.

But please no paperclip factory stats.

Gemini models return a thinking signature that you, I think, must send back when invoking further, so they seem to keep them?

Since many are asking about apps with simillar capabilities I’m very happy with MacWhisper. Has Parakeet, near instant transcription of my lengthy monologues. All local.

Edit: Ah but Parakeet I think isn’t available for free. But very worthwhile single purchase app nonetheless!

I would imagine it is, yes. That's even true of my own repos.

I saw twice recently that if everyone is so productive, where are all the new Github repos, but never bothered to check the data. Seems like the uptick is plausibly visible from Github's own data?

Hah this is the 3rd fun app like this I've seen lately. I really like yours!

I also built one! In mine you can compose effects using a graph, I've gotten carried away and now I keep wanting to bring more TouchDesigner concepts into it. It's far off, but so much fun! The best feedback on these kinds of apps is if you put it in camera mode and on a TV, and let a kid dance around in front of it.

I hope you don't mind if I steal some of you nice ideas for myself :)

Oh you brought back fond memories of using the very first education product Replit had. It was so good. I was teaching GCSE CS and having a blast giving kids python with turtle to play with. I would just give them some multicoloured octagon and more complex shape, and they had to draw it with turtle.

They enjoyed it, I enjoyed it, and the teacher UX was great.

Really interesting company, good luck!

I have this toy I’ve enjoyed building immensely, for composing video effects.

Try to put `sys.path.insert(0, os.getcwd())` after `import sys` in dream.py.

That fixed it for me.
