@danluu what do you think about the ethical concerns?

@danluu Even if we accept the premise of corporate productivity we've always had a group of people who cared mostly about how their work performance looks like rather than what it actually is. If you assume we only have competent people who care about their results - sure. At a meager cost of pricing a family in OHIO out of utilities you can speed up the repetitive part of development. If you look at the minority which never cared about quality - you speed their "work" up by factors more.

@danluu I had a similar experience with LLMs and was writing fuzzers for Firefox for several weeks. And then I discovered that for 80% of the issues I was finding, I didn't even need to write the fuzzer. I can just ask the LLM where the bugs are and it finds them with basic code auditing. My pattern now is to have an LLM do several passes of auditing and then recommend places to hit harder with an LLM-generated fuzzer.

@danluu so I reread the blog post and was very "dubious face" but no yeah, Claude fuzzing found several classes of bugs that are worth fixing (https://github.com/fasiha/obsidian-japanese-quizzer/pull/5) thank you for your evangelism 🙇
