  • I mean it is normal to want to discuss anything. I think one of the main problems of today is actually we can’t discuss anything for more than five minutes before someone gets lynched. But that is also because there are so many people that “discuss” stuff in bad faith that everyone else has probably lost faith in discussions.

    On the issue of hysteria and normalizing stuff, in the span of a six months the US degraded from being the center of many branches of science and tech to a country that redacts its articles to censor words like transmission (because it contains trans, yea) and gender. I don’t think you can call it hysteria when it is really happening and has become the new normal.

    “you will think it’s ridiculous”

    I will think what is ridiculous? This event described in the meme? I find it worrying that someone gets so uncomfortable that he or she can’t treat a person based on their sexual and or gender orientation. On the other hand everyone has their limits and being a doctor is hard and perhaps it really is not for that person or he or she can’t deal with this. And this goes for both sides. You may be very liberally minded doctor but what happens when a wounded person they bring to the hospital turns out to be someone who raped a child? It is fucking brutal. If you can’t even make it past sexual orientation, how the fuck are you going to deal with such stuff?





  • And you are talking about obvious bugs. It likely will make erroneous judgements (because somewhere in its training data someone coded it that way) which will down the line lead to subtle problems that will wreck your system and cost you much more. Sure humans can also make the same mistakes but in the current state of affairs, an experienced software engineer/programmer has a much higher chance of catching such an error. With LLMs it is more hit and miss especially if it is a more niche topic.

    Currently, it is an assistant tool (sometimes quite helpful, sometimes frustrating at best) not an autonomous coder. Any company that claims so is either a crook or also does not know much about coding.
