  • I appreciate the effort you put into the comment and your kind tone, but I'm not really interested in increasing LLM presence in my life.

    I said what I said, and I experienced what I experienced. Providing me an example where it works is in no way a falsification of the core of my original comment: LLMs have no place generating code for secure applications apart from human review, because they don't have a mechanism to comprehend or proof their own work.

  • I didn't say that. However, if delegation is too risky, do the work yourself.

  • Who would I jail? The C-officers. Your shit show, your responsibility. If you can't trust your employees, figure out why or do the work yourself.

  • Yes, there's teeth to the original appeal. Amicus briefs, however, have to be accepted by the judges before they will entertain any of the arguments and prescribed remedies.

    You can file them, and that's generally meaningful, (ignoring how the GOP has bastardized the practice) since it goes on the public record, but the courts may not be open to reading them regardless.

  • This will never happen. Smell-o-Vision and its successors have been in development for decades, and they all have the same issue: where to store the numerous scent liquids. You can't just digitize scent and generate it on demand with some kind of solid state device. You can't just combine three liquids to make 1000 scents—the article's analogy of combining light to make colors is overly optimistic, bordering on delusional.

    The other two related problems are convenience and cost. This is 1000% a novelty, and novelties quickly lose their appeal after you experience it the first time. Who is seriously going to be going out to buy replacement cartridges for a thing that is essentially a toy?

  • Seems like a paltry amount, given what savvy social engineers could do with that data.

    If you don't use proper security practices, you should be on the hook for prison time at a minimum.

  • It was ChatGPT from earlier this year. It wasn't a huge deal for me that it made mistakes, because I had a very specific use case and just wanted to save some time; I knew I'd have to troubleshoot grafting it into my function, but even after I pointed out that it was using depreciated syntax (and how to correct it), it just spat out the code again with even more errors and still using depreciated syntax.

    All LLMs will fail like this in some way, because they don't actually understand what they're generating (i.e. they have no mechanism for self-evaluating the veracity of their statements).

  • There's certainly room to grow with regard to workers' rights. I think you could probably solve at least a few of them if they were covered by a union, and publishers who hire them would have to bargain for good development contract terms.

  • That's true. The mistakes actually make learning possible!

    Man, designing CS curriculum will be easy in future. Just ask it to do something simple, and ask your CS students to correct the code.

  • Wow, the text generator that doesn't actually understand what it's "writing" is making mistakes? Who could have seen that coming?

    I once asked one to write a basic 50-line Python program (just to flesh things out), and it made so many basic errors that any first-year CS student could catch. Nobody should trust LLMs with anything related to security, FFS.

  • And I'll add on to that, even if every GPU company stops innovating, we'll still have older cards and hardware to choose from, and the games industry isn't going to target hardware nobody is buying (effectively pricing themselves out of the market). Indie devs especially tend to have lower hardware requirements for their games, so it's not like anyone will run out of games to play.

  • And continuing that thought, OP can just contact the app maintainer and request lowering the minimum version.

    I know it's an odd recommendation when we're so used to taking what we get from companies, but sometimes they respond to requests like that.
