agree. it's strange reading the loud voices that are counter to my lived experience. llms just have seemingly infinite depth - or can at least debug and execute

agree. it's strange reading the loud voices that are counter to my lived experience. llms just have seemingly infinite depth - or can at least debug and execute without fatigue.
- solid_fuel 4mo agoSticking two mirrors facing each other gives the illusion of infinite depth, too. But just like the idea of LLM "reasoning", it's just an illusion.
- xp84 4mo agoYou're not crazy. For a precious few things in my career in software, it's been really important to have an incredibly genius idea of how to design a system or how to actually implement it. Maybe 2% of the time. The rest of the time, you could enlist an engineer with 2 years of experience and enough sense not to do stupid things (like eval()ing user input, etc). They don't need to be a genius to trial-and-error their way through everyday coding problems -- you'd just have to give them enough time and feedback and they'd be able to build everything. To me that points to LLMs not needing to be AGI to replace 98% of our jobs, since they're so much faster and so cheap. Note: I am mostly not comfortable with this world we find ourselves in, but I'm just saying what I've observed.
