I disagree. A good developer that heavily uses AI just becomes average without realizing it. To remain a good programmer you have to keep actually programming.
Has an issue where the last fishes fight shows up during the wait for the current fishes fight. More importantly how can you afford this? Seems like every call goes to an LLM? Seems like it would be pretty expensive for a free game.
I definitely support maintainers defending themselves but this seemed just like a petty slap at LLM users. From my understanding, any user who used this testing library was vulnerable to the prompt injection.
Overall LLMs are certainly a net negative on humanity, but I don’t think being mad about it or their users is the best response. I really respect Andrew Kelly in this regard. He doesn’t accept LLM input into Zig and is generally anti-LLM but his approach is positive. “LLMs aren’t that good and it’s boring to use them. Check out how cool/fun/high quality real coding is”
Yea good explanation of what I meant. I understand the moral/ethical arguments against LLMs and they are compelling but the actions of the maintainer above seemed just like a petty swing at LLMs just for the sake of it. Not very rational in my opinion.
I’m trying to minimize my use of LLMs because I think they are harmful personally but I don’t get mad at people that use them (unless they are just spamming slop but then I just ignore it)
I don’t think so but maybe? I do use them in daily work so I might be compromised. But I also generally dislike their impact on humanity and try to limit my use where feasible for my own brain’s sake.
Personally I think Andrew Kelly’s take is the best. Basically not interested in LLMs but if someone uses them to do something cool then cool I guess?
I can’t remember where I read or watched this, but the argument was that the main problem with a lot of software is simply code base size. Once your code base is large enough , it can no longer really be understood as a whole which leads to performance issues/bugs/vulnerabilties. I think that’s just an unavoidable part of large software.
Agentic engineering is probably not helping since it tends to accelerate growth of LOC. I also personally think quality is an issue as well but it could be a skill issue on my end idk.
I definitely see where he is coming from, but his response was pretty bad. Seems like he has anti-ai psychosis that went way too far.
This gives similar energy to that guys npm package that deleted Russian users computers. Overall not a great look and any difficulty with job searching/conferences is probably well deserved.
I’ve always thought that this is the argument people that say AI is conscious are making without realizing.
It’s also utter hogwash. Writing an article to argue against your own consciousness/free will is such an incoherent action that it doesn’t deserve engagement.
The most offensive part is that the author doesn’t live as though he doesn’t have free will because no one actually believes that.
> People stop creating music, stop writing blogs, stop doing experiments or any other cool stuffs and share it on the internet because LLM companies can just pirate the shit out of it without paying anything back.
This isn’t necessarily true. I still write my own blog by hand and write code by hand. Sure it gets fed into the LLM meat grinder but I think a lot of people are going to fight against the LLM slop and consume real human content
Even if it was forever is run by community really that great? The code is open source so a fork can happen at any time if it goes down the wrong path. Once you get a wide community involved I feel like decision making slows down. And the product gets worse.
I’m a big open source fan but I’m starting to lean to projects that limit contributions/have a strong leader since they tend to be higher quality in my experience.
I don’t receive that much personal communication that’s AI copy paste. It is somewhat easy to tell when someone is writing with AI. I usually don’t read articles that have strong AI tells for example
I don’t use ai for any human to human communications. I don’t even really use it for grammar anymore. I’d rather post my own authentic style (blunders and all) then get my thoughts blended by the language grinder into sludge
This is definitely the way. I don’t think long term that full agentic engineering without writing code is sustainable. I think it definitely leads to atrophy
