Andy RabagliatiAn Iranian man left this comment on a YouTube channel.
"As an Iranian, I can tell you the situation is no longer just political—it's existential. We are trapped between two collapsing structures: one internal, one external. On one hand, we face a deeply dysfunctional government, led by the Supreme Leader and the Islamic Republic’s unelected institutions. 1/

You are not (just) your brain.
"If you look closely at our nervous system, you’ll see that there are neuronal clusters distributed throughout the body. Human computation is better understood as distributed than centralized.
The gut has 500 million neurons, which is about the same count as a dog’s brain. This is connected to the brain through roughly 30,000 fibers, most of which lead from gut to head."

tanteThe question is not whether you can create software using LLMs - you can (most software is just boring CRUD shit).
But you do pay a hefty price: In lowering quality (security issues, less maintainable), in skill decay in the people "guiding" the stochastic parrots, etc.
It's not "can 'AI's create software" but "are we willing to accept worse software running more and more of our lives?"

<- perhaps the single most eloquent essay against LLM-bot development I've seen. Very long, very worth it.
You don't have to if you don't want to.
"In the year 5555, your arms are hangin' limp at your sides, your legs got nothing to do, some machine doin' that for you." Zager and Evans sang these words in 1969. Now, thirty-five centuries ahead of schedule, it's never been easier to tell the world "I didn't care about this and I don't care about you."
