LLM code is the lead pipe of our generation of software engineers. They’re going to be replacing it for decades and wondering how we were so foolish
It’s the most terminally online fedi bro thing ever to be like, “um actually asbestos is a better metaphor”. Truly who gives a shit dude. Do you really think that is the important thing to focus on here. Jesus Christ. If missing the forest for the trees was an Olympic sport Fedi Bros would take gold every time
regret comes later, and it always comes when it is too late.
"aisbestos" is my current favourite. It certainly is. A wonder-product to cure all our problems now. It won't take as long as asbestos for it to be revealed as an awful idea though.
I'm sure it'll be harder for big ai to hide it than for big asbestos who spent years suppressing science, lobbying governments and denying victims' claims.
Pliny the younger wrote of the illness of asbestos mine workers and he's so old he's in history books. He even wrote about history before it had been invented. Probably because it was the present when he wrote. However we still put asbestos in everything we could in the twentieth century.
