How long until “the LLM did it it” is just as effective as “AWS is down, not my fault”?

- draxil 9mo agoThis to me is the point.. LLMs can't be responsible for things. It sits with a human.

- taylorius 9mo agoWhy can LLMs not be responsible for things? (genuine question - I'm not certain myself).
- pvab3 9mo agobecause it doesn't have any skin in the game and can't be punished, and can't be rewarded for succeeding. Its reputation, career, and dignity are nonexistent.
- direwolf20 9mo agoThis doesn't seem to have stopped anyone before.
- pvab3 9mo agoStopped anyone from doing what? Assigning responsibility to someone with nothing to lose, no dignity or pride, and immune from financial or social injury?
- taylorius 9mo agoOn the contrary - the LLM has had it's own version of "skin in the game" through the whole of it's training. Reinforcement learning is nothing but that. Why is that less real than putting a person in prison. Is it because of the LLM itself, or because you don't trust the people selling it to you?
- oblio 9mo agoAre you claiming that LLMs are... sentient? Bold claim, Taylor.
- shaftoe 9mo agoIf you’re just a gladhander for an algorithm, what are you really needed for?
- sarchertech 9mo agoNever because the only reason that works with Amazon is that everyone is down at the exact same time.
- direwolf20 9mo agoEveryone will suffer from slop code at the same time.
- sarchertech 9mo agoYeah but that's very different from an AWS outage. Everyone's website being down for a day every year or 2 is something that it's very hard to take advantage of as a competitor. That's not true for software that is just terrible all the time.
