Really? A bit hard to believe, unless you have many dumb colleagues.

But I agree with you, especially in areas where they have a lot of training data, they can be very useful and save tons of time.

(That's the first time I used that expression on HN.)

Yes, LLMs are sloppy, and local models usually more so (but things change fast).

But the local ones have one big advantage: they are private. So you can safely feed them the collection of your private documents and things you wouldn't trust people like sama with. The fact that some people do not care is one of the failures of our educational system.

Where's Russia and Australia then?

Well, European partners are looking, too - and they are drawing logical conclusions, such as producing more interceptors locally rather than wait years for the first batches of PAC-3.

Well, your (or your LLM's) interpretation is a bit less nuanced than the original. The verse from DDJ you mention is more about letting go and living a simple life, a bit the opposite of programming where we actually need an adequate level of complexity to handle the complexity of the world.

As a side note, even if you are not a native English speaker, trying to formulate thoughts without the support of LLMs is very welcome here.

And in online communities, most often people just call it "AI slop" and express fatigue. It's very different form a brief period when people were excited by midjourney-generated images. I believe it just faded off just like any novelty.

I still can't wrap my head around the fact that the guy who made his campaing on ending wars the first thing he does after being elected changes the name from DoD to DoW and starts new wars.

When, more or less?

Yes, this product doesn't exist.

And the last time a company claimed something similar it disappeared after taking money from investors.
