<p>Why does a language model have to be monolithic? I think retraining a model is expensive (relatively speaking). Is there some way to bolt on specialization?</p>

<p>> I’m certainly not endorsing it, do think it’s pretty problematic, and I’m glad it’s getting some visibility. But I do take some issue with the alarmist framing of what’s going on.<p>Speaking has someone who shares the same lack of surprise, perhaps some alarm is warranted. Just because it’s ubiquitous doesn’t mean it’s ok. This feels very much frog in boiling water for me.<p>Why do you think the alarmist framing is unwarranted?</p>

<p>Anecdata, but I don’t find myself making major changes to code during review often. That speaks to a deeper problem (miscommunication of requirements, author skill, overly pedantic reviewers, etc).<p>Also, I don’t have time to wait around for a review to work on other parts of the same codebase.</p>

<p>I think it’s really context dependent. I haven’t found LLMs to increase my productivity in coding in my field because the quality of the output matters much more than the quantity. I don’t think it’s the same across the board though, and there are plenty of domains where code generation is a force multiplier. Sometimes you need a chainsaw and sometimes you need a scalpel and in my own experience I have found that using coding agents as scalpels is not a very efficient use of <i>my</i> time. <i>shrug</i></p>

<p>Maybe I’m just getting extremely lucky, but I don’t use AI to code at work and I’m still keeping up with my peers who are all Clauded up. I do a lot of green field network appliance design and implementation and have not felt really felt the pressure in that space.<p>I do use Claude code at home maybe a couple hours a week, mostly for code base exploration. Still haven’t figured out how to fully vibe code: the generated code just annoys me and the agents are too chatty. (Insert old man shaking fist at cloud).</p>

<p>- you are assuming that an AGI will prevent more deaths than it would cause<p>- you are assuming that AGI is just around the corner and that scaling up language models is the path to get there<p>- you can make this argument about basically anything (nuclear power, tuberculosis medication, free healthcare). I’d say the burden of proof is on you to back up your extraordinary claim with extraordinary evidence.</p>
