  @seanm@infosec.exchange Then let's discuss! I consider LLMs to be an absolutely fantastic tool for all use cases that have a clear OK/NOK gate. That involves cybersec, sysadm, software dev, maths proofs etc. It does not include transcribing doctor's notes into patient journals, as a counter example. Me, the person with this view, didn't think so ~6 months ago when a friend told me about their experiences. Knowing how incredibly good of a techie that person is I decided to challenge myself and learnt how to use LLMs. I then changed my mind. Not because I can't do the tasks myself, I very much so can, but because of the enormous boost in productivity LLMs as tool give. As an old assembler programmer I liken it to going from assembler coding to using a high level language. I don't _need_ higher level languages - I wrote a 68000 game engine in pure assembler last year. But I think society is better off with not everyone having to use assembler for all tasks. Too tech-broish and Musky? @briankrebs@infosec.exchange
