Let me know when you succeed.

And how this end is closer with LLMs?
- est31 7mo ago> And how this end is closer with LLMs? The blog post of this thread argues that now, even average users have the ability to modify GPL'd code thanks to LLMs. The bigger advantage though is that one can use it to break open software monopolies in the first place. A lot of such monopolies are based on proprietary formats. If LLM swarms can build a browser (not from scratch) and C compiler (from scratch), they can also build an LLVM backend for a bespoke architecture that only has a proprietary C compiler for it. They can also build adobe software replacements, pdf editors, debug/fix linux driver issues, etc.
- wolvesechoes 7mo agoNot interested what they can build. Show me the fruits, not image of fruits
- rzmmm 7mo agoLMMs can be used for example faster reverse engineering, to turn proprietary content into free.
- wolvesechoes 7mo agoI am not asking what they can be used for. Tell me what they are actually being used for
