Hello, recent Reddit convert here and I’m loving it. You even inspired me to figure out how to fully dump Windows and install LineageOS.

One thing I can’t understand is the level of acrimony toward LLMs. I see things like “stochastic parrot”, “glorified autocomplete”, etc. If you need an example, the comments section for the post on Apple saying LLMs don’t reason is a doozy of angry people: https://infosec.pub/post/29574988

While I didn’t expect a community of vibecoders, I am genuinely curious about why LLMs strike such an emotional response with this crowd. It’s a tool that has gone from interesting (GPT3) to terrifying (Veo 3) in a few years and I am personally concerned about many of the safety/control issues in the future.

So I ask: what is the real reason this is such an emotional topic for you in particular? My personal guess is that the claims about replacing software engineers is the biggest issue, but help me understand.

    Hello, recent Reddit convert here and I’m loving it. You even inspired me to figure out how to fully dump Windows and install LineageOS.

    I am truly impressed that you managed to replace a desktop operating system with a mobile os that doesn’t even come in an X86 variant (Lineage that is is, I’m aware android has been ported).

    I smell bovine faeces. Or are you, in fact, an LLM ?

          Why won‘t they tell us what they replaced windows with or on what they installed Lineage, though? The more people speculate, the more questions I have.

      He dumped windows (for Linux) amd installed LineageOS (on his phone).

      OP likely has two devices.

      Calm down. They never said anything about the two things happening on the same device.
