But was the code written by an agent? It's agents all the way down

Gonna be honest. I'd rather fight climate change than have people run LLMs unsecured

Yeah... The bill is already being paid. I wonder how the life quality of my nephew (and other children) of 5 years old today will be in the near future..

Decades, decades, telling us to save energy. Removing screensavers, replacing lightbulbs with ugly CFL first and color distorted LED lamps after. Trying to save energy to save the planet. And now, all of that to the toilet because some morons decided to play with talking robots.

Yesterday I did care. Today? Not so much. Welcome climate change, we fully deserve it.

You forgot cryptocurrency. At least some of this LLM stuff is genuinely useful.

Ruined may be a strong word but it is much less usable than it was previously. Frequent outages, lots of weird bugs.

It no longer feels like a polished product.

Is this not a government program? Did someone in the cabinet choose to do this?

I’d prefer they not release shoddily build propaganda apps

Thanks for sharing this. Subnautica is one of my favorite games so I was very excited for the sequel and very frustrated by this move by Krafton.

It’s even more maddening that this greedy maneuver was orchestrated based on LLM advice.

I’m glad the subnautica team won the lawsuit. Maybe I can play it now wothout feeling guilty

If a friend gave me bad advice about a major life decision I would stop consulting them for future life decisions

Bad as in malicious or bad as in they offered/you asked for their advice and it didn’t work out? Because if it’s the later, that’s an unfair burden to put on your friends or anyone else. People can give great advice, genuinely want to help, and it still not work out the way you wanted. If you require friends to be 100% with their help, I’m not sure how you have any friends left.

It’s possible to give good advice that doesn’t work out. I have no hard feelings about that.

It’s also possible to give bad advice wothout being malicious.

I have some friends who don’t give great life advice. We’re still friends, they’re just not the friends I go to when I need advice on a big decision.

Yeah I agree.

We have “Cursor Bot” enabled at work. It reviews our PRs (in addition to a human review)

One thing it does is add a PR summary to the PR description. It’s kind of helpful since it outlines a clear list of what changed in code. But it would be very lacking if it was the full PR description. It doesn’t include anything about _why_ the changes were made, what else was tried, what is coming next, etc.

It’s always the last place you look

I really struggle to imagine that working. What does “a new billing system” even mean? How is it better than the old system?

I was being a little facetious - I really dont think AI systems are there yet. It would probably look more like an interview, and there will be some amount of human-required maintenance and subjectivity for a while.

But I think thats what the investors are envisioning.

The AI will link existing APIs with glue code; slurp up data, map it to appropriate CRUD ops with Intuit or something.

We are way beyond the 90s-early 00s wild west where billing can be some random consultants opinions.

It’s both.

The cops need to be held accountable.

But it’s glaringly obvious that if you build tools like this and give them to the US police this is the outcome you will get. The toolmakers deserve blame too.
