Whatever happened to generators in #javascript? After they were introduced there were quite a few APIs that used them (koa, all those async flow control doodads), but now I can't think of the last time I saw one in the wild.Were they too confusing to use? Made less necessary by async/await?Does anyone know any good current examples of an API that uses them?

A lovely high signal:noise talk summarizing LLMs for the lay programmer. @simon is the opposite of the crypto-bro-turned-AI-bro influencer. Lots of clear explanations, lots of pragmatic hype-free advice, from a smart dev who is really excited by generative AI.https://youtu.be/h8Jth_ijZyYhttps://simonwillison.net/2023/Aug/3/weird-world-of-llms/
