Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

No the fuck it's not

I'm a pretty big proponent of FOSS AI, but none of the models I've ever used are good enough to work without a human treating it like a tool to automate small tasks. In my workflow there is no difference between LLMs and fucking grep for me.

People who think AI codes well are shit at their job

There are plenty of open issues on open source repos it could open PRs for though?

I'm guessing if it would actually work for that, somebody would have done it by now.

But it probably just does it's usual thing of bullshitting something that looks like code, only now you're wasting the time of maintainers as well who have to confirm that it is bobbins.

Yea it's a problem already for security bugs, llms just waste maintainers time and make them angry.

They are useless and make more work for programmers, even on python and js codebases that they are trained on the most and are the "easiest".
