@dalias@hachyderm.io @xgranade@wandering.shop denying the usefulness of LLMs seems a bit wrongheaded at this point. I've been an engineer a decade now, at this point I don't really encounter things I can't build myself anymore, but LLMs let me build them far more quickly. 1000x more quickly? Absolutely not. But measurably quickly. I use this added time to increase my personal leisure as well as finally get some civic hacking done I've had on the to-do for years.

@komali_2@mastodon.social @dalias@hachyderm.io I'm curious what you're trying to achieve here. Do you think I don't have the experience needed to claim that LLMs are useless? Do you expect that your one anecdote from someone I've never met or heard of before and have no reason to trust — an anecdote that flies in the face of all available theory and empirical evidence, no less — will sway me into thinking that ah, yes!, the fascist lying machines built by union busters are good, actually? Why would you expect that?
