  • They just replied:

    What gave you the idea that this was a full rewrite? I moved things around with AI and added postgres support for the queries. Nobody has ever reviewed and tested anything more thoroughly than I did with this branch.

    You are twisting what it actually is. You are assuming something that is not true.

    This makes me think that they didn’t review or test it at all, lmao





  • The primary financial issue with LLMs taking people’s jobs is in the cost of operation, mainly for the LLM companies. They still have not made an ROI, not even close, and that’s with massive government contracts. I personally think that there’s one of three possibilities here. Most of the LLM companies could go under (but they may be “too big to fail” at this point), the LLM companies could start to charge far too much for the quality of the outputs causing some companies to back out, or the LLM companies will, by some miracle, get a ROI through a more efficient model.

    The models are enshittified at the start, since they’re basically just hallucinating with guardrails. There’s not any way to make them truly deterministic. Even the “agents” that run through multiple iterations of code to find the “best” solution are lacking. This is because they cannot “think” logically.

    My personal opinion, though, is that they’re simply using it as an excuse to fire workers and pump up company stock value. I don’t believe they actually think that LLMs can fully replace devs and engineers. So yes, while LLMs are taking jobs right now, it’s not because they’re good enough at what they do or anything like that. It’s just greed.
