@bms48@mastodon.social @sue@glasgow.social @briankrebs@infosec.exchange Agreed - I will use none of it, ever. And I'm sooooo tired of the idiots touting it for the one microscopic task it does without fucking it up, as if that's enough of a reason to keep cancer around (which is what it is).

@kristen_d@mastodon.social @sue@glasgow.social @briankrebs@infosec.exchange The METR study last summer was surprising given the institution's industry alignment; it showed empirically a 19% slowdown by software developers when using LLM-driven assistance. Most of the gains seen probably come from the harnesses around the LLMs; "agentic" is just branding for this. Giving autonomous agency to a nondeterministic non-rational algorithmic entity is all kinds of cybersecurity stupid. They're good at gatling gunning exploits and CVEs though!
