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.
Agree, the last people in the world who should be making AGI, are. Rabid techbro nazi capitalist fucktards who feel slighted they missed out on (absolute, not wage) slaves and want to make some. Do you want terminators, because that’s how you get terminators. Something with so much positive potential that is also an existential threat needs to be treated with so much more respect.
Said it better than I did, this is exactly it!
Right now, it’s like watching everyone cheer on as the obvious Villain is developing nuclear weapons.
