In effect the source code is being copied by the LLM. This is what it's designed to do. LLMs are a lossy statistical compression of their training data. If you give it a prompt telling it to replicate a product that's…
Whatever LLM they used copied the source code. It took their prompt and filled in the blanks of the spec by copying from the closest matching open source project. This is just what a next token predictor is going to do…
Yes a test showing an LLM can reproduce an app in its training data and not an equivalent complexity app that is not in its training data is equivalent to proving the statement I made that having your codebase trained…
I have neural net applications I programmed entirely myself from 16 years ago and all I see from you are some python scripts so I guess I win this stupid game I wasn't even trying to play. You haven't made a single…
I wasted 2k on a color e-ink monitor that ended up being pretty much unusable. Reviews said as much but the risk was worth it to me for the chance to spend my days looking at something that doesn't feel like a screen. I…
First I never made any claims about myself or appealed to my authority, that was you. I still don't see any evidence of any technical expertise in ML or in programming anything more complicated than python scripts.…
I don't use these tools, but wouldn't it be better to use them only after you do a manual review to see if they find anything you missed? Otherwise I could see reviewers getting false confidence and doing a less…
It has. LLMs being able to one-shot any higher-order complexity is entirely dependent on it already being in the training data.
You trust those?
I don't really use LLMs myself, but if someone wants to have any kind of software business then having the models trained on their products isn't ideal.
Who are you quoting?
Do you think that everyone using it and their employers are aware that they are giving their competition the ability to copy straight from their codebase when they ask it to replicate their product?
It's not theft in the same way a con artist convinces you to give him all your money. The people using it or their employers just don't realize any competitor will be able to ask the LLM to replicate their product and…
One of the funniest things is how hard it was to get approval for a $100 software license but now people are being encouraged to burn thousands on tokens.

Uploading your IP to the biggest IP thieves in human history seems bad idk. 2. Eventually we'll get to where local models that don't have sycophancy and slot-machine mechanics trained into them will perform better.
This seems to be a good middle ground then. It allows for a way to prevent political projects getting grants under the guise of "scientific research", at least when they directly oppose the voters. I don't see any push…
Instead of programming something yourself now you'll be forced to program through the interface of someone that doesn't speak English putting what you say into an LLM. We've peaked.
Seems more like a materialist religious project to me.

Newton did it at 23 and there would have been very few people with mathematical training. The LLM would be trained on the entirety of recorded human knowledge and mathematics up to that point, and would get to use a lot…
Synthetic training data is carefully crafted by humans. The rare geniuses of human history use a different magnitude and configuration of the same kind of human intelligence that posted a dad joke on a site that got…
