It's the lack of motivation. Why even bother doing something by hand when an LLM can get me 90% of what I want in a few minutes, without much work from me? What value can I provide to this project that Claude cannot?

But even in the age of 3D-Printers and such, people still wood-work and metal-smith and make models. We have Suno but (most) artists are still writing music by hand, out of passion of the craft.

I'd suggest just trying to find something you're passionate about, and work on that. Maybe it's not even programming-related.

Or I'm way off-base, just trying to draw parallels to myself. Feel free to dismiss this

Apple knows it, it's why they do everything they can to prevent 3rd party 'workarounds' to use iMessage. It's one of the things that gets people in the ecosystem, and keeps people in the ecosystem once they're in.

Blue bubbles and Facetime has probably kept more customers than anything else they have

edit: oh I think you meant streaming-only. Yeah, maybe a lot higher...I don't have a good gauge on that

Androids are probably better than iPhones. But you may lose a first date with a girl for sending a message with green bubbles instead of blue bubbles, so people buy iPhones. The iPhone is worth more than the Android, in this example.

This is an article for fans, with an audience of fans. Explaining the basics would be unnecessary for the vast majority of readers.

Now, maybe posting to HN requires you address your new audience as well, but I'm just pointing out the above.

Like..where does one 'get help' for being racist? Honest question, I don't mean to sound snarky...

- not being locked into a provider

- not being forced to have your prompts saved by a possible competitor

- an alternative to the duolopy we quickly see forming

- offline access

I fear for the future without local models, much more than the future with them, and would rather everyone had access to a local model than be certain we catch everyone copy+pasting LLM responses. Watermarking would be cool, but it's not worth losing local for.

I just was under the impression that from a 'medical(?)' point of view, the trip is nothing more than food poisoning

I'm just vouching for, at a minimum, a general acceptance of LLM security audits for 'critical infrastructure' (OpenSSH, Apache, Electron, etc.) These have become bastions of the internet as we know them today and security issues that exist in these could be disastrous. It seems like LLMs have become really good at this sort of audit specifically, but maybe that's all marketing. If you are to believe the hype, though, it seems irresponsible to not be securing these such softwares with whatever tools are available...LLMs, contracted experts, bug bounties....throw it all at the wall and see what sticks.

Obviously, something like OpenBSD (OpenSSH devs) is a non-profit, and may have trouble finding the funds for the tokens for regular audits, but that's another discussion.
