The AI hater's guide to code with LLMs
- eBombzor 9mo agoWow. Politically charged much?
- y0eswddl 9mo agoEverything is, inherently. I wish I lived in that fantastical world where it wasn't :/
- saidnooneever 9mo agoits personal choice what to value.
- ramon156 9mo ago... except politics. If you don't value political influence, then you are ignoring a very important part of how our society is built. I can also choose to not care about water, but sooner or later my body will say "hmm, maybe you should change this"
- stoneforger 9mo agoEverything in a society is a manifestation of politics, it's the cybernetics of society.
- sph 9mo agoYou have it the wrong way around. In the age of information, politics, that is the art of persuading and influencing popular opinion, is king. Let's not pretend politics is a natural phenomenon to be worshipped. The fact that everything is politics today is a real indicator of how terminally broken discourse and our society as a whole has become.

- insin 9mo ago> I say LLM, not “AI”, when talking about the text generation models at the heart of most of the “AI” explosion. I’ll prefer technical terms to marketing buzzwords the whole way through, even at the cost of being awkward and definitely a little stodgy. Useful precision beats vacuous true statements every time, and the difference now very much matters. Yes! Put it directly into my veins^W brains
- never_inline 9mo agoNice. Despite being anti-AI, He knows more about LLMs than most "thought leaders" and "AI enthusiasts".
- quater321 9mo agoAnd you can judge that how? You obviously have no idea and only say that because he called Grok racist ;D

- bravetraveler 9mo agoNot to be dismissive, but I had to comment here: > A $5000 budget would barely suffice to run something like gpt-oss 120b (OpenAI’s open model that is okay at code-writing tasks). I play with this model on a $1,200 shoebox-sized PC. If/when I do want to outsource my work, it does perfectly fine. Snappy, even, while sipping <200W. Keeps my data local, too.
- aitchnyu 9mo agoAuthor mentions the pay as you go AI providers are profitable, and the fixed plan providers are 3x-5x underpriced. Is this a proven assertion?

- sph 9mo agoLet me make it clear: the AI haters like me do not need a guide to code with LLMs, because they wouldn't be AI haters in the first place. Flagged for clickbait and perpetuating the pro-/anti- AI squabble that exists solely to farm karma on the HN frontpage.
