Hand-made code is riddled with dirty hacks and exploits that LLMs have no problem finding. I would not trust any software that is not using frontier models to fix the messy human code.

Go to Show HN and a few years back and you will see that most products fail. It has never been about the software unless you're creating something truly novel. Good luck letting an LLM manage the sales pipeline and keeping that first big customer that your whole company relies on happy. Even if it could do it, that customer will demand full personal attention.

I was mainly referring to comments on Hacker News.

I'm surprised by this sudden "I love interacting with humans" surge. It's not something I associate with hackers.

I'm the opposite and even your example triggered my curiosity. Very few articles capture me like that.

Dealing with third-party overlays (I presume that's the main menu bug you're talking about) is one of the most annoying things in game development due to how it hooks into the rendering pipeline and not an easy fix.

In countries with modern laws and open records you seldom need a lawyer. I've dealt with many legal issues requiring preliminary decisions and the lawyers added absolutely nothing I didn't already know by simply reading the law.

The person is literally that meme. Quotes from their other posts:

> They are pretending to be angry at big companies because they think it will make them look heroic and noble.

> So when the angry mobs online tell us that we must irrationally hate a race, nation, party or corporation - well I am not joining that movement.

I think it's a sign that their reality distortion field is starting to break down and their coping mechanism is to resort to more and more aggressive personal attacks and slander.

> especially when those two guys are hunting for underage children to speak to on Discord (yes, I have seen what vibe coders do)

Come on. Is this really necessary?

Funny how these articles always use the same aggressive language and bombastic style, to the point where they are more similar than the output of said "sterilized parrot regurgitation".

It was popular before LLMs. Probably popularized by Notion.

If the decomp scene is about the art of decompiling I would agree, but looking at r/decomps it seems the audience is gamers who just want to play the games. Do they also think it's terrible? Considering how anti Kotaku is it sounds like they are actually working well.

> commenters are some combination of bots and underpaid astroturfers

Always these baseless accusations. I've been here almost as long as you have and find it extremely offensive, just because I'm rebuking a flawed argument with basic facts. There's no conspiracy and you're breaking the HN rules by insinuating it.

Oops, fixed but I think you're onto something!

I keep seeing it and it's really bipolar. Boosters think it's the best thing ever and downplays all the issues while antis think it's completely useless and a disaster environmentally and morally.

Good luck saying LLMs are useful but still a net negative in the filter bubble this author is in. No, you also need to think it has zero utility or you're the enemy.

We need to start talking about anti-AI psychosis. That people actually think their delusions fueled by these echo chambers are real is almost as worrying as the AI booster bubbles.

The fact that the author is using PowerBI as the example makes me think they are completely oblivious of the actual impact and utility LLMs have in other fields such as programming. Claiming it's useless and that anything it outputs is "markedly inferior to that of a human doing the same task" is an absurd basis to use for their argument.

You're derailing it by handwaving away the risk of rogue AIs. In fact, I would say the constant smirking about things being marketing stunts much worse.

Whether or not LLMs are deterministic is irrelevant to this discussion. It doesn't make what the parent poster say less true.
