reminder to all the people who are reluctantly trying out LLMs for coding or other tasks and then frustrated-surprised when it does a good job:
a) of course it does a good job, it's repurposing and adapting massive amounts of stolen code and human creativity;
b) it will do a good job until it doesn't, and you won't know the difference unless you deeply understand what it's doing in the first place;
c) it is vastly inefficient and is only affordable now (if at all) because the techbro corps are still fighting for the monopoly they need so they can dominate the market and then crank up the costs tenfold;
d) the nature of these systems is mimicry plus a dash of crowd sourced feedback, and are mathematically unable to achieve any of the AGI superintelligence bullshit that the Corp CEOs are leading their cult followers to believe;
e) participating in this train wreck is making climate change more catastrophic, cut it the fuck out
