So LLMs are going to achieve what Microsoft has been unable to, destroy open source and upend the world of coding. Nice. We really are living in the dumbest timeline. Can't wait for Nintendo's lawyers to decide they found a fragment of Nintendo code in the output of an LLM and start the lawfare to destroy the pesky breeding ground of emulator writers.
Said it in another thread, I have yet to meet a strong advocate for LLMs that isn't a cunt.
There's no reason for thinking that LLMs will destroy open source. People complain about slopware, but might also give us a lot of new cool projects.
You haven't been keeping up to date on the damage they are doing to existing projects have you? Ask the team behind curl how useful the slop submissions are. They are reaching breaking point just keeping up the flood of crap. It's not that LLMs will out compete, they will overwhelm and infect.
I have been following the curl issue for quite a while. I think that it's different from what I wanted to tell you here. Curl is getting too many PRs that are AI generated and the human maintainers can't deal with them all.
What we are here seeing is people using coding agents and LLMs to help with their own work. So it's a different kind of thing. You can also imagine a situation where projects are getting hammered by AI bot traffic, but are getting also helped by using LLMs with their project itself.
I know someone who is very convinced of LLMs, and while I have strong disagreements with her in that topic, she definitely isn't a cunt.
For one, what's her name? Perhaps I just forgot meeting her, otherwise my point still stands.
For two, I'm Australian, it would be extremely insensitive for you to make negative statements about my dialect.
I will admit I am being inflammatory with that language, but honestly the only person I have met who I would call an honestly good person who was super positive about LLMs, giant math nerd who talked over my head for 10 minutes about the implementation of convolutional networks. He might have just been super excited I was taking an interest and doing my best to ask questions that didn't make me sound to dumb.
