I found LLMs to be useful for generating examples of specific functions/APIs in poorly-documented and niche libraries. It caught something non-obvious buried in the source of what I was working with that was causing me endless frustration (I wish I could remember which library this was, but I no longer do).

Maybe I’m old and proud, definitely I’m concerned about the security implications, but I will not allow any LLM to write code for me. Anyone who does that (or, for that matter, pastes code form the internet they don’t fully understand) is just begging for trouble.

It’s… Beautiful.

step 1: unsafe fn()…

As an android user (Pixel), I’ve only ever opened AI by accident. My work PC is a mac and it force-reenables apple intelligence after every update. I dutifully go into settings and disable that shit. While summarizing things is something AI can be good at, I generally want to actually read the detail of work communications since, as a software engineer, detail is a teeeny bit important.

Now call that C program from some other program in another language.

Not interested. Ohanian wants to moderate it with AI which is an absolute nope from me. I also have mbin and that’s fine for me. I guess the edge case that might make me visit it would be the handful of reddit communities I still use for Japan tax/legal/biz/etc. that won’t move to the fediverse decided to move there. I guess that’s preferable to occasionally using reddit.

I was excited, but it’s a pass from me. No reputation, no freedom on whom to fight, little ability to customize my character from what I’ve seen… no thanks.
