This is one of the worst takes from LLM enthusiasts.

[gudenau@hachyderm.io]

@arroz my boss yesterday just said that if you don't learn to use the LLM tools, you will be fired and replaced by people who do. It's terrifying. Especially if I was allowed to say what I was working on, you would be terrified too.

@arroz they all drank the koolaid and deny going back, ignoring the story 'cause the genie did get put back in the bottle

[doctorgoktor@mastodon.social]

@arroz @stroughtonsmith what compiler are you talking about?

[geoffwozniak@masto.hackers.town]

@arroz That take is another case of only considering the result, not why the result exists.

Also, I guess he's fine with outsourcing his "compiling" to a third party to which he has absolutely no control over.

Vibecoders are only interested in production. They don't care how they get there.

[geoffwozniak@masto.hackers.town]

@arroz Much like crypto pushers, vibecoders think that trust is a bad thing.

Short term gain makes for long term pain. But hey, at least we provided a lot of shareholder value for a while, amirite?

@arroz bingo

@arroz For fuck's sake these boosters are insufferable. Steve is an absolute tool.

@arroz Most compilers aren't exactly deterministic by default (and fixing that is the goal of projects like Reproducible Builds), but they're still more predictable than any slop generator you'll ever come across

[sharpcheddargoblin@kolektiva.social]

@ghalldev @arroz @stroughtonsmith Ignorance, or willful ignorance? Either describes every LLM cultist.

@arroz it’s always a bit depressing when I find out about a new pocket of mediocre tech jackasses posting twitter crap on masto. all of the guys posting “LLMs are like compilers for natural language” should have their CS degrees yanked cause they’ve proven they don’t meet the academic requirements for a CS undergrad.

[davidgerard@circumstances.run]

@arroz it's like watching bitcoiners talk about how they think money works

[zzt@mas.to]

@arroz “LLMs are natural language compilers”, brought to you by the same kids insisting their product is “the operating system for the web” because nothing means anything if you ignore all implementation and engineering details

[puppygirlhornypost2@transfem.social]

@zzt@mas.to @arroz@mastodon.social Ah because if it's one thing compilers are known for it's being non-deterministic 😭

[cap_ybarra@beige.party]

@arroz @stroughtonsmith that take you reposted is hella embarassing. thanks for pointing out another slop enthusiast to mute!

[duke_of_germany@mastodon.gamedev.place]

What I see a lot in these AI guy circles is this kind of "magical thinking" about how things work.

And these (confidently expressed) naive takes are not only about LLMs, but also about countless other well-documented, well-researched topics like compilers.

Who are these guys?

@arroz

[lobstermane@mastodon.social]

@arroz To be honest, the whole take of the original post reads like slop. LLMs tend to conflate different concepts with each other and if you have no idea what you’re talking about, it will sound very convincing.

@GeoffWozniak @arroz

Looks like CWE's are back on the menu!

@zzt @arroz

Imagine if CS was like ANY other engineering discipline.

[aspensmonster@tenforward.social]

@Orb2069 @zzt @arroz I find that exercise preferable to imagining other engineering disciplines becoming more like CS.
