Please don't, can't we just have one thread without this shit

It baffles me that so many people are so willing to pay for the privilege of training their own replacement.

But are you though?

From where I stand this thing is going to provide great leverage to those who don’t simply just write code. I personally doubt the thing will ever get to a place where it can be trusted to operate alone - it needs a team of people and to go super fast you need more people.

Moreover, the price won’t be high due to competition.

I’ve changed my view on LLMs as being good, as long as competition is fierce.


Looks like a LLM generated comment

It reads like a human to me. But I understand being suspicious of an account that’s 40min old

Not sure how hacker news can effectively protect against what looks like fake users posting LLM generated comments :(

I am pretty sure non-technical people are not going to be able to compete in any meaningful way with technical people.

Most modern TVs (not to mention SBCs you could just connect with HDMI) have bluetooth/USB for keyboard & mouse

I believe that’s a matinee

Except that companies are not a black box, at every step there is a human making a comprehensible decision (probably with a paper trail). Yes, they dilute accountability to nearly nothing in some cases, but LLMs are sufficiently opaque to claim (ingenuously) that “nobody is responsible”.

In principle yes but in practice even executives who are supposed to have the final responsibility for malfeasance don't actually get prosecuted.

So you're aware of accountability dilution AND the opacity of LLMs making them not responsible for anything, therefore you agree with the point that was made.

I guess your point could be: LLMs are just another level of capitalistic opacity to maximize opacity and dilution of accountability.


Is it feasible to differentiate increased agent-traffic from the organic growth in popularity HN has been seeing?


We don't know yet.


What an absolutely awful take. Asking people questions, even if it’s less efficient or has the chance to be misleading, is the absolute number one way to a) learn, and b) make connection. Even if you’re just asking a stranger the time, you don’t know what you might learn.


Except that nowadays it feels more like people asking you for the time every 2 minutes while standing just in front of Big Ben.

I see it everyday on forums/Discord servers where some users will treat you like their personal search engine simply because they are too lazy to spend 10s reading the results themselves.


Big Ben, the bell?


You know what I was referring to, no need to be pedantic.


Ah yes, because becoming totally reliant on a technology only made possible by weaponising the entire global economy looks nothing like corporate feudalism.


Local models exist. Decouple your dislike of the companies from the technology they're trying to leverage.


Who trained those local models?


By 2030, as per another article on the site.


Defining a decade as imminent is clickbaitish.


Source?


Art history. It's how we ended up with Impressionism, for instance.

People felt (wrongly) that traditional representational forms like portraiture were threatened by photography. Happily, instead of killing any existing genres, we got some interesting new ones.
