I work in IR for small to medium sized business. The past few years have seen my business increase well beyond what I can reasonably handle and my bank account feels like a dragons pile of gold.

I will always always be on the side of security should be integrated and planned for and by no means do I want to see breaches.

That being said giving people of dubious expertise the ability to blast out an app in an hour has been an absolute windfall for me and others.

His predictions timing sucks but he’s right in pointing out the insane numbers involved.

I think AI is a wonderful tool but I also think that there are many wonderful tools that if we bet our entire economy on would result in a catastrophe.

The argument is regarding LLMs and domain knowledge.

He’s essentially telling this guy that he wishes he had been executed.

If I plucked a random passerby and gave them the task then no, I’d find myself detailing out every specific to them.

You’re equating the LLM to the least qualified candidates. I don’t think your argument is communicating what you intended.

Additionally, using a specific tool does not suddenly give the model common sense enough to say “this piece of information doesn’t answer the question of whether this solution fits in this specific industry at this time in this place”.

“Verify all facts and compliance requirements” leaves enormous holes even if you assume the LLM has a concept of facts and requirements (it does not).

What facts? What requirements? For what industry? For what subset of that industry? For what country or countries that you will be doing business in? Are these current “facts” and “requirements” or is the LLM referencing a dusty article from 1992 for which the subject matter has been radically overhauled?

In my job I regularly see small but incredibly important mistakes like this lead to major issues. Some of those are human driven but increasingly the defense of the person responsible has turned into “Claude said it was fine though!”

Could be wrong though.

Tbf I think this is probably the way most people see it at the moment from my discussions with others.

The static comes from people who have essentially staked their entire reputation on AI one way or another.

I think this is the part I struggle with. The code I write makes me money or is a way of teaching me something, both of which are reasons that I would write the code regardless.

I don’t think I have any projects in mind that I’d be willing to spend half of a car on that I also wouldn’t have written myself.

Obviously just a personal take though. I’m glad you get the usage you want out of it.

There is an incredible amount of competency signaled by someone who was given access to this model but doesn’t treat their online presence like a professional resume.
