Rare Denmark win, considering the same fuckers (government, not you Danish people, you're okay) are pushing chat control on us.

let's make it "every one million dollar over it" and these greedy fucks would still not survive it.

• you have no clue about licenses
• you have no clue what deterministic means

I can't keep you from doing what you want, but I will continue to view software developers using LLMs as script kiddies playing with fire.

Only thanks to idiots and narcissists are so many using America synonymously with todays shithole totalitarian regime between Canada and Mexico. As the preposter said, let's not play into that.

a company worth 1 million is basically a 1-5 person office.

out of the four? There's Northern Northern (Canada), Middle Northern (shithole), and Southern Northern (Mexico). And of course all of Southern.

more like extremely infuriating.

oh you sweet child... bless your heart.

this is my first thought. Instead of draconically punishing the assholes littering in the first place, we poison a little more of nature :(

While I appreciate your differentiated opinion, I strongly disagree. As long as there is no actual AI involved (and considering that humanity is dumb enough to throw hundreds of billions at a gigantic parrot, I doubt we would stand a chance to develop true AI, even if it was possible to create), the output has no reasoning behind it.

• it violates licenses and denies authorship and - if everyone was indeed equal before the law, this alone would disqualify the code output from such a model because it's simply illegal to use code in violation of license restrictions & stripped of licensing / authorship information
• there is no point. Developing code is 95-99% solving the problem in your mind, and 1-5% actual code writing. You can't have an algorithm do the writing for you and then skip on the thinking part. And if you do the thinking part anyways, you have gained nothing.

A good developer has zero need for non-deterministic tools.

As for potential use in brainstorming ideas / looking at potential solutions: that's what the usenet was good for, before those very corporations fucked it up for everyone, who are now force-feeding everyone the snake oil that they pretend to have any semblance of intelligence.

I didn't say your particular application that I know nothing about is slop, I said success does not mean quality. And if you use statistical pattern generation to save time, chances are high that your software is not of good quality.

Even solar energy is not harvested waste-free (chemical energy and production of cells). Nevertheless, even if it were, you are still contributing to the spread of slop and harming other people. Both through spreading acceptance of a technology used to harm billions of people for the benefit of a few, and through energy and resource waste.

There’s a difference between vibe coding and responsible use.

There's also a difference between the occasional evening getting drunk and alcoholism. That doesn't make an occasional event healthy, nor does it mean you are qualified to drive a car in that state.

People who use LLMs in production code are - by definition - not "good developers". Because:

• a good developer has a clear grasp on every single instruction in the code - and critically reviewing code generated by someone else is more effort than writing it yourself
• pushing code to production without critical review is grossly negligent and compromises data & security

This already means the net gain with use of LLMs is negative. Can you use it to quickly push out some production code & impress your manager? Possibly. Will it be efficient? It might be. Will it be bug-free and secure? You'll never know until shit hits the fan.

Also: using LLMs to generate code, a dev will likely be violating copyrights of open source left and right, effectively copy-pasting licensed code from other people without attributing authorship, i.e. they exhibit parasitic behavior & outright violate laws. Furthermore the stuff that applies to all users of LLMs applies:

• they contribute to the hype, fucking up our planet, causing brain rot and skill loss on average, and pumping hardware prices to insane heights.
