i love that we went from "zero trust" as a fundamental buzzword to "trust autonomous nondeterministic agents everywhere in your stack"
@neurovagrant I still think your last observation about humans no longer being the weakest link in the chain is everything wrong with LLMs and I'll die on that hill.

@neurovagrant y'all remember the old demotivator memes from the early 2000s?

One of them read "None of us is as dumb as all of us." LLMs are non-deterministic balls of shit put together with the absolute dumbest takes from Reddit and StackExchange, thrown into that non-deterministic blender, to shit out what is probably the most awful code known to man. None of us is as dumb as all of us.

@Viss @da_667 @neurovagrant I really, really want to write a talk on LLMs with that title now.
@da_667 @neurovagrant i bought these when i worked at websense in like 2001. now they live on the art wall in my office

@Viss @da_667 @neurovagrant

I still have the Potential one hanging in my office

@Viss @da_667 @neurovagrant

ah yes. the demotivational posters. we had a mostly complete collection on the walls of a startup i worked at.

@Viss @da_667 @neurovagrant

Oh wow. That brought back some memories

They also had a glass coffee mug with the text "the glass is now half empty" Loved that mug. Till it got dropped by someone :-/

Stupidly expensive to replace now (look it up) on eBay or such
