@troed@swecyb.com I'm not even sure what you're arguing for at this point. You seem to agree that GenAI is unreliable and a bad technology. You even pointed this out on multiple occasions. You've stated that GenAI shouldn't be used as a database technology. You've stated that reliable use of GenAI requires complicated, inception style GenAI agent setups and subagents. Are you just unwilling to admit that you are the exception and not the rule for GenAI usage? Or, are you actually trying to argue in support of the GenAI as being developed and pushed for by Google, Microsoft, etc that requires massive investments in datacenters? #GenAI #LLM #AISlop

@seanm@infosec.exchange I'm a white beard old developer. I hang with others who are the same. We all use LLMs nowadays, and none of us has been forced to by any employer. You might want to ponder that we're not the exception, and that your own anecdotal data is very skewed. You still seem to believe that LLMs must be perfect databases to be usable. As I said - I spent the time to learn how to use them. You haven't. Here's my current non-work productivity: https://git.sync.wtf/explore/repos Those two Hytale mods are nowadays completely LLM-maintained btw. They're feature complete, so when Hytale releases new pre-release and release versions I have an LLM read the blog post with the update info, go through the sections of interest for breaking changes and then fix what needs to be fixed in the code, compile, test and publish to Curseforge. All the AI companies who believe that the whole world will subscribe to their agents will fail. As I have posted numerous times on this very account self-hosted LLMs are where it's at. Own data centers for your company, privately in your home for the family.
