<p>I'm definitely not an AI skeptic and I use it constantly for coding, but I don't think we are approaching this future at all without a new technological revolution.<p>Specifications accurate enough to describe the exact behaviors are basically equivalent to code, also in terms of length, so you basically just change language (and current LLM tech is not on course to be able to handle such big specifications)<p>Higher level specifications (the ones that make sense) leave some details and assumption to the implementation, so you can not safely ignore the implementation itself and you cannot recreate it easily (each LLM build could change the details and the little assumptions)<p>So yeah, while I agree that documentation and specifications are more and more important in the AI world, I don't see the path to the conclusions you are drawing</p>

<p>I think the main point is that LLMs are pretty good at following existing patterns and conventions.<p>If you setup your skeleton in a way it is familiar to you, reviewing new features afterwards is easier.<p>If you let the LLM start with the skeleton, they may use different patterns and in the long run it's harder to keep track of it.</p>

<p>> If a law being enforced 100% of the time causes problems then rethink the law (i.e. raise the speed limit, or design the road slower).<p>Isn't this the point of the whole conversation we are having here?<p>Laws on copyright were not created for current AI usage on open source project replication.<p>They need to change, because if they are perfectly enforced by the letter, they result in actions that are clearly against the intent of the law itself.<p>The underlying problem is that the world changes too fast for the laws so be fair immediately</p>

<p>Claude is definitely tech only.<p>Gemini is the only real competitor to OpenAI in the consumer space: they already have the consumer eyes on their products and they have the financials to operate at a loss for years.<p>They are well positioned to fight for the market</p>

<p>I think it depends on the task.<p>How bad it is if put of 200+ conversations, a couple of those are not exported correctly? Not much honestly. 
If I verify some of those and they are ok, I would see no reason to keep verifying all of them.</p>

<p>The human in that case is not "so slow", but at the current state it is slower than an LLM as simple as that.<p>The difference comes in confidence that the solution works and can be maintained in the future, but in terms of purely making the decisions and applying the changes an LLM is faster when it has all the required infos available</p>

<p>Yes, but you need this information once, maybe twice a day, instead all smart devices tend to present it to you constantly.<p>I have a pixel device, and by default I have the weather on both lock screen and home screen. Every morning I receive a notification with the expected weather for the day, and it keeps suggesting me to enable the weather preview right after the morning alarm.<p>Garmin smartwatch? Same<p>Android car / Apple car? Same<p>MacOS has the weather as one of the most prominent widgets available, and I believe windows to be the same.<p>Do I really need to have weather info constantly available to me?</p>

<p>Yes, but it's the kind of information you need once a day on average and you are good to go.<p>Instead you find it placed on your smartphone homescreen, on the smartwatch, on the home dashboard, on a notification you receive every morning, on your car screen, on your computer, ... I don't need to see it constantly.<p>Personally I believe it is something that it is easy to integrate and that users don't perceive as useless, but 99% of the time doesn't add any value</p>

<p>That is why I said "also", it should not be the only factor.<p>The conversation was moving between two possibilities only: either collect bug bounties or sell on the black market. I believe most (again: most, not all) security researchers collecting bug bounties right now would not start selling on the black market in case bounties disappeared. They would change their focus to something else to sustain themselves</p>

<p>> So why would anyone ever take a bounty instead of selling on the black market? Risk!<p>I like to believe there are also ethics involved in most cases</p>

<p>The language itself was not invented for the purpose: it was the language spoken in Florence, than adopted by the literary movement and than selected as the national language.<p>It seems like the best tradeoff between information density and understandability actually comes from the deep latin roots of the language</p>

<p>I was honestly surprised to find it in the first place, because I assumed English to be at first place given the simpler grammar and the huge dataset available.<p>I agree with your belief, other languages have either lower density (e.g. German) or lower understandability (e.g. English)</p>
