Oh you're taking a moral stance? So how do you get by without search? Because surely Google and Microsoft have many other moral problems, likely even the same ones. But you're morally pure so you use no search at all right?

not to be rude, but WordPress is already a well known target for a lot of malicious behavior; assuming someone non technical is safely extending it with LLM generated authentication code is something that causes me, an industry professional

There is a LOT of money on this message board trying to convince us of the utility of these machines and yes, people talk about it ad nauseum, in vague terms that are unlike anything I see in the real world, with few examples. Show me the c

My intuition is opposite yours; due to the insane complexity of the real world nearly 90% of situations are novel and require creativity OK now we're at an impasse until someone can measure this

15% of people aren't smart enough to read and follow directions explaining how to fold a trifold brochure, place it in an envelope, seal it, and address it you think those people don't believe the magic computer when it talks?

it absolutely will mean surveillance, unless you were born yesterday. governments will implement what you're describing in a way that is not privacy preserving this is supposed to be HACKER news, not fucking bootlicker news

oh good, and your authoritarian government can know you're in the closet and trying to figure out how to leave the country, too! no, fuck this idea so hard. if this is inevitable, our duty is to build technology that defeats it

> Can you not find open source code bases that leverage LLMS because you haven't looked, or because you can't tell the difference between human and LLM code? The money and the burden of proof are on the side of the pushers. If

cash is tracked as well, it's been over for a long time. each bill has a serial # and it gets scanned going in and out of the bank. Yes, it's still marginally easier to launder cash but if you just take it out of the ATM and spen

This is sort of hilarious; to use an LLM as a good search interface first build.. a search engine. I guess this is why Kagi Quick Answer has consistently been one of the best AI tools I use. The search is good, so their agent is getting the

I need a big ol' citation for this claim, bud, because it's an extraordinary one. LLMs have no concept of truth or theory of mind so any time one tells you "I don't know" all it tells you is that the source document

if LLMs are ever able to write the kind of code I write for work, I'm going to move to management. spending 100% of my time reviewing AI slop and writing tests is the opposite of what I want. I want to define behavior quickly and have

Ok but TFA says only 8% of REGULAR PEOPLE want these features so if you're going to directly contradict the source material we all just read (right???) you should bring a citation because otherwise, in light of the data in the article

comparing LLMs to microwaves makes me think of the time my grandmother cooked the Thanksgiving turkey in a microwave because it was new and easy and the obvious thing to do! I guess the analogy isn't that bad! I'd be pretty upset

I know it's popular; that doesn't mean it's not a fad. Consequences take time. It's easy to use but once you get burned in a serious way by the bot that's still wrong 20% of the time, you'll become more relucta

And yet you didn't provide a single reference link! Every case of LLM usage that I've seen claimed about those things has been largely a lie -- guess you won't take the opportunity to be the first to present a real example. J
