it's truly amazing what LLMs can achieve. we now know it's possible to produce an html5 parsing library with nothing but the full source code of an existing html5 parsing library, all the source code of all other open source libraries ever, a meticulously maintained and extremely comprehensive test suite written by somebody else, 5 different models, a megawatt-hour of energy, a swimming pool full of water, and a month of spare time of an extremely senior engineer
@glyph I don't understand this modern Luddism any more than I understand the AI hype. It's simply a tool that, when used sensibly, can serve you well. These posts full of demagoguery are laughable. Go break your machines like your ancestors did.

@mirano if they're laughable, it should be easy to disprove them, no?

also, do learn about luddites. luddites weren't against progress; and they were right.

@mawhrin There's really nothing to disprove here. Or first tell me the volume of that demagogic pool of water and nonsensical units of energy.
@mirano come again?
@mawhrin Look, I understand that it's sad when progress forces you to change your work style or job in general, because you become obsolete. Crying on the internet, coming up with nonsensical constructions, and commiserating with like-minded colleagues won't help anyone. You'll only feel better for a moment.
@mirano are you talking about the confabulation machines or are you praising russian army gains in ukraine? because the style is eerily similar.
@mirano (even the kind of condescension deployed; pretty fascinating mindset, really.)
