Coder, software architect. Moscow, MN-IN, Caltech, Silicon Valley. Good faith - even when aggro. Trumpism=house-fire NOW. Kendiism=long-term prob. YIMBY=yes.

@ciphergoth @alexkehr Thankfully, for now, wrangling this LLM thing properly - at least for some software engineering contexts - still requires the skills of a software engineer, as opposed to, say, a “product architect.” But knowing some of those guys, I have a suspicion they highly doubt that.

[RedRedSuit - yes, am a Jew @RedRedSuit]

@ciphergoth @alexkehr Buuuuuuuut on the way to even writing the code or generating it and iterating I would have used an LLM near-constantly.

[RedRedSuit - yes, am a Jew @RedRedSuit]

@ciphergoth @alexkehr no, I don’t consider myself ultra safe or above having to adapt, just because right now it’s fine.

@ciphergoth @alexkehr To be clear I’m not saying it couldn’t produce other types of production code including for things I’ve had to code before and not that long ago. But for that systems stuff, I can’t. Yes, I consider myself lucky to work on that, mainly because I have liked it since I was a kid;

@monikafurtado @alexkehr This is true, intuitively. I think there’s a serious danger about executives and the like not realizing this and proceeding to get rid of a ton of quality people. Presumably eventually things will self-correct but not before a lot of chaos.

[RedRedSuit - yes, am a Jew @RedRedSuit]

@alexkehr @ciphergoth I definitely use them a ton; but as for 100% of production code, no. Not yet anyway, not saying it can’t happen.

[RedRedSuit - yes, am a Jew @RedRedSuit]

@ciphergoth I’m not at 100% wrt actual production code written; but I certainly use LLMs a ton at work to get things done and have been for 2+ years. Pay accounts and all. It’d be crazy not to.

@questionableway It’s fine

[RedRedSuit - yes, am a Jew @RedRedSuit]

perspective it becomes much harder to pinpoint things to still admire. Like, what's so great about this hive-mind, once everyone has been converted? It's a giant virus that spreads... something. That's its main characteristic. All the peace-love stuff... so? It seems empty.

It is indeed interesting that, on one hand, the Others are extremely admirable in the way they steward the planet and (other than the coercive conversion thing) how they relate to 12 regular humans --

but on the other hand, once regular humanity goes away, from our regular human

I found this a particularly depressing sequence where as Kusimayu's assimilation completes the community she yearned to join is rendered inert and the culture extinct #Pluribus

All very normal requests from an editor under different circumstances — absolutely baffling reasons to abruptly yank a report that has been screened five times, promoted publicly, and slated to air within hours

@DWisbankrupt @CaitlinPacific @bariweiss @WSJ @nytimes @CBSNews Reflexive defenses is right. It’s quite gross.

[RedRedSuit - yes, am a Jew @RedRedSuit]

@CaitlinPacific @bariweiss You are entirely full of shit.

@CaitlinPacific @TimFairbank You’re bullshitting
