Y2K errors in old COBOL code kick-started Indian IT sector, which then lead to immense economic progress and mass scale reduction in poverty. I hope LLMs pepper every thing they touch with many such errors, so that nations of Africa and poorer parts of Latin America (that can't do cheap manufacturing due to a lack of infrastructure and capital) can also begin their upwards economic journey by providing services to fix these mistakes.
In order to help reduce global poverty (much of which was caused by colonialism), it is the moral and ethical duty of the Global North to adopt LLMs on a mass scale and use them in every field imaginable, and then give jobs to the global poor to fix the resulting mess.
I am only 10% joking.
- TeMPOraL 1y agoThat's funny, but unless LLM bugs break foundational ML codebases beyond human repair (and somehow also delete all existing code, research, and researchers), the models will likely just get better than people at this in a couple years. I mean, the trajectory so far is obvious.

- HexDecOctBin 1y agoReading replies like this, I am left to wonder if maybe an AI apocalypse isn't such a bad idea.
- ahmeneeroe-v2 1y ago>it is the moral and ethical duty of the Global North This is also a pretty good joke
- HexDecOctBin 1y agoI know, I wrote it. Glad you liked it, not so glad that you then chose to go full mask off.
- ahmeneeroe-v2 1y agoWhat mask do you think I just took off?
