I am flatly uninterested in letting an LLM execute arbitrary code as my user account on my laptop and maybe even sudo to root are you people fucking nuts

I find that all of this makes me incredibly angry. Like, what the fuck are we doing here. Why are we doing this? Who are we doing it for?

Also i dunno but it’s just really hard for me to be interested in trying the fancy expensive, high-investment versions of the tools when the free versions are all unfit for purpose. Like not just bad but wrong. There’s a bare minimum of purpose alignment that something has to meet for me to consider investing more deeply in it and ALL of the free stuff I encounter is so unfit as to be actively offensive

If LLMs really are great for coding, and only coding, the coding LLM people had better shoot the rest of the LLM community or something and take down their stuff because they are making y’all look evil

@quinn If they’ve finally integrated LLMs with linting and type checking and so on and so on I could see there being less slop at the word-by-word level… which still leaves lots of room for more subtle forms of slop at the method, subsystem, and interaction (e.g. not writing security vulnerabilities) levels!

@iris_meredith @jalcine @anildash It’s cultish behavior. Salvation is at hand! If you refuse the Machine God you face eternal doom! Don’t you want to be saved?

@dan @ricci it’s a very important thing to remember that LLMs do not have taste buds and have never eaten food

@futurebird They’re one of the few that I recognize by name from outside the field.

@joelvanderwerf @futurebird @dansinker @MLNow Whenever people from outside S.F. asked me about S.F. I always had to lead with “so the news just lies about us”

@futurebird @dys_morphia this is a much better explanation than my previous best, which was, “it gives the flavors time to blend”

@futurebird I keep saying that, observationally, the market-clearing price of most of these AI-powered tools is zero. (I.e. people only want to use them, barely, if they're free.)

@futurebird Again observationally, people won't even pay for better results.

@futurebird Really the mistake had always been to consider the wealthy as the mountaintops, when in fact they’re the oceans and money is water

@futurebird (Rich people always struggle to realize that, and we cannot emphasize this enough, _poor people spend money_. If I could put rich people into reeducation camps and get one thing through their heads it would be this.)
