Hmm, seeding torrents with the added excitement that you don't know what torrent's you're seeding, and the client is written using LLMs. What could possibly go wrong?
- yoavm 8mo agoYou can check the content of the torrents, just like any torrent. The client isn't a "one shot" LLM produce, I've been spending quite some time on it. What actual concerns do you have?
- yoz-y 8mo agoNot parent but: The first thing that pops to mind is inadvertently downloading and hosting CSAM.
- yoavm 8mo agoIf you suspect AA for spreading CSAM, please don't support the project. And please do share your reasons for suspicion.
- Tepix 8mo agoYes, your copy of your operating system could also contain CSAM, I hope you checked every single byte just to make sure.
- xpe 8mo agoPlease, let's be sensible and think about probabilities in the real world.
- margalabargala 8mo agoI think they were just meeting the original commenter where they already were.
- RankingMember 8mo agoThis isn't TOR, though it's not completely unfounded that the definition of CSAM could be broadened in the future by legislators to include things that are, by current definitions, not CSAM, e.g. works of fiction that include scenes of abuse.
- randallsquared 8mo agoAlready happened in Australia, in a recent case.
- reddalo 8mo agoI don't know the exact details, but that sounds dystopian.
- duozerk 8mo agoSo you did use LLMs to write at least part of the software. I imagine you feel no shame, but it would be nice to at least mention it on the github page. It's a security risk. As for your question, I don't know about the person you're replying to, but for me any software where part of the source was provided by a LLM is a no-go. They're credible text generators, without any understanding of, well, anything really. Using them to generate source code, and then using it, is sheer insanity. One might suggest it means I soon won't be able to use any software; fortunately the entire fever dream that is the ongoing "AI" bubble will soon stop, so I'm hoping that won't be the case.
- yoavm 8mo agoI wish I could speed up time just to see how this comment would age. While I personally prefer living in a world without LLMs, I do suspect you're going to end up without any software.
- duozerk 8mo agoA more reasonable response than my admittedly slightly aggressive comment deserved. Indeed, we'll see.
- bigfishrunning 8mo agoI suspect we'll all end up without any software, once we've successfully gotten rid of anyone who can evaluate the output of an LLM
- satvikpendem 8mo agoThere will always be a niche of people writing software, just as today while most work in web dev or backend, there are some who work in embedded or have retro computing as a hobby.
- dylan604 8mo agoI'm imagining some apocalyptic world Mad Max style where there are underground groups hand writing code to avoid the detection of the AI. Unfortunately, so few people are able to do it any more and the code is so bug ridden that their attempts at regaining control over the AI often ends in embarrassing results. Those left in the fight often find themselves wondering why everyone just rolled over for the machines, what, because it made their lives easier?? Maybe it's a scene from a show I've seen already??

- tcdent 8mo agoJust like you can read source code written by humans (and should if you take this stance) you can also read source code generated by LLMs. Then, when you find something unsavory and feel that your sentiment is warranted, make a contribution.
- streetfighter64 8mo agoWell obviously, but a dirty kitchen is evidence that the meal might give you food poisoning, and there's no reason to visit every restaurant. Would you go see a movie that was advertised as AI-generated? (I do appreciate the author being upfront about it however.)
- theragra 8mo agoSome genAI video or image content can be made with creativity and be enjoyable. It gets boring with time, but our current AI boom allows some people to unleash an inner director.
- yreg 8mo agoI'm looking forward to those films, especially if they are adaptations made by the fan community instead of corporate studios.
