I woke up and had a thought the software engineering isn't a serious engineering field if they actually fully shipped llms and expect everyone to use them. What do you expect quality wise from a profession that says that this is okay?
- AlienRobot 10mo agoImagine if normal engineering did that. Engineers invent a "blobby" thing that glues things together. It has amazing properties that increase productivity but sometimes it just stops working for some reason and comes off. It's totally random and because of how blobby is produced there is no way to tell when it's going to work or not, contrary to the typical material. Anyway we're going to use blobby to build everything from schools, to bridges, to airplanes now.
