I want the harness to use read freely but require confirmation for write.

"Probably"? I'd hit that a thousand times just to be sure.

Don't understand how one can experience anything but infinite dread when confronted with the effects of these models on the arts.

Maybe I am getting old. But I don't think so...

Hard to believe... This activity should certainly land you in a German prison?!

> 9/10 whatever tooling you are using now will be perfectly fine

Are you working in frontend? On non-trivial webapps? Because this is entirely wrong in my experience. Performance issues are the #1 complaint of everyone on the frontend team. Be that in compiling, testing or (to a lesser extend) the actual app.

Agreed. Optimistically let it resolve merge conflicts in an old complex branch. Looked fine at first but was utter slop upon further review. Duplication, wildly unnecessary complexity and all.

The masters of mankind are yearning to replace expensive tech workers with this. With agentic versions of LLMs we are at a point now where they can (and should) certainly try and create a more hilarious world

OpenAI's AI data centers will consume as much electricity as the entire nation of India by 2033 if they hit their internal targets[0].

No, this is not the same.

You do not seem to be familiar with Rob Pike. He is known for major contributions to Unix, Plan 9, UTF-8, and modern systems programming, and he has this to say about his dream setup[0]:

> I want no local storage anywhere near me other than maybe caches. No disks, no state, my world entirely in the network. Storage needs to be backed up and maintained, which should be someone else's problem, one I'm happy to pay to have them solve. Also, storage on one machine means that machine is different from another machine. At Bell Labs we worked in the Unix Room, which had a bunch of machines we called "terminals". Latterly these were mostly PCs, but the key point is that we didn't use their disks for anything except caching. The terminal was a computer but we didn't compute on it; computing was done in the computer center. The terminal, even though it had a nice color screen and mouse and network and all that, was just a portal to the real computers in the back. When I left work and went home, I could pick up where I left off, pretty much. My dream setup would drop the "pretty much" qualification from that.

OpenAI's internal target of ~250 GW of compute capacity by 2033 would require about as much electricity as the whole of India's current national electricity consumption[0].

And environmental damage. And damage to our society. Though nobody here tried to stop LLMs. The genie is out of the bottle. You can still hate it. And of course enact legislation to reduce harm.

Yes, of course. It is the whole point. Nobody cares about your 20 year old parking tickets.

> It was very much the opposite of Chomsky's ideology as well.

On the contrary. Chomsky was open about his civil-libertarian principles: If you are convicted, and you complete your court-ordered obligations, you have a clean slate.
