@bryan @jae That’s a weird interpretation. I don’t think anyone who would give up a Linux distro because of LLM usage is happy about the kernel using LLMs, it’s just that’s harder to switch away from. Even if one can’t avoid LLM-tainted software completely it’s not unreasonable to avoid it where it’s possible to avoid.
@benjamineskola @jae I don’t appreciate nor like how LLM have turned some prompt writers into junk code submitters. An LLM is in a sense like a gun, where weak, unskilled people suddenly declare themselves warriors. They are not, and it’s wasting everyone’s time.
At the same time, these tools are not ever going away. An LLM is a downloadable gun. The tools are as easy to use and install as vim, emacs, etc. The tide has turned, as they say, and the world is not going back. This is why I do think it’s hard to understand why people would give up a distro or software they’ve used and loved. Because the writers of said software have decided to use a new tool? I get the gut feeling of wanting to lash out. But I don’t think it is a long-term rational move.
@bryan @benjamineskola well said. ive seen too many ytbros and junior warriors produce the slop called out by the naysayers. weapons and tools require training, practice, and foundational knowledge. llm likely more so than a firearm
