@mro@digitalcourage.social Valid points. The “Large” in LLM indeed mirrors the “Big” in Big IT—that is precisely the materialist contradiction I'm highlighting. Currently, the scale required for these models forces a centralized, corporate structure.

Regarding productivity: as a developer, I view LLM not just as a “code generator” (where the ±20% debate happens), but as a new layer of interface for complex information. Whether it's asbestos or X-ray, the reality is that the “means” are already being deployed at a massive scale, shaping our digital society.

You mentioned focusing on the ends. I agree. But in our current system, the “ends” are dictated by those who own the “means.” If the means (LLMs) remain a corporate monopoly, the “ends” will always be profit and surveillance.

My argument for socialization isn't about “more software” for the sake of it; it's about reclaiming the power to define the “ends.” We can't democratically decide how to use (or even limit) a technology if we don't own the infrastructure it runs on. Even if we decide to use it “narrowly and carefully” like X-rays, that decision should belong to the public, not a boardroom.

Hi @hongminhee,
#asbestos wasn't banned from the beginning, nor was #Xray. Time told. So it may with #LLMs.
As to how productive they are - the data basis so far is too narrow to tell IMO. Some say so, some other. Recently a study claimed devs feel +20% but in fact are -20%.
I have the notion the L im LLM fits the B in Big IT quite well.

We have to re-focus from the means to the ends. What goals do we accomplish, not how much software do we engage.
