I mean, there's truth on both sides here. Essentially LLMs are good at some stuff bad at others. If you don't use the tool appropriately you are going to hurt yourself. And at the moment there really isn't a very good opinionated good workflow framework for early adopters. Which means unless you have senior engineers the results can be varied.
I can tell you it's saved the day for me on a few occasions and lord knows it can parse docs better than any human and give you what you want in a clear cogent manner. But it's sometimes flat out wrong, and it's sometimes making things harder than you want, or isn't very context aware no matter how much you try to point it in the right direction.
But it's still good at stuff and saves time.
Early adopter pain is early adopter pain.
What scares me more is we are trading short term gains for long term losses here. And we are destroying the feeder system for senior engineers... and that's going to end horrifically.
If there's one thing I have learned in 25 years of this engineering world, it's that if you are trying to solve the byzantine general's problem you are doing it wrong. Don't fight fights you can't walk away from in one piece.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I don't think these initiatives really protect Europeans. Anton Carniau, a Microsoft executive, testified before the French Parliament that ‘as a last resort, if we are forced to, we must transmit the data’, ‘You cannot guarantee that data entrusted to UGAP will never be transmitted to the US authorities without the explicit consent of the French authorities’.
I just wanted to say that cloud companies were doing a better job of ensuring the collection of European data than Trump's diplomacy.
One of the horrific elements of 9/11 was that force of compression as the building collapsed basically destroyed bodies beyond even being small parts.
As a result, for years following 9/11 remains ( sometimes very small ) were found and immediately catalogued and DNA tested in the hopes some of the victims would finally have something that could be buried.
It's truly horrific to be unable to tell a family for certain that their loved one is definitely gone. And there are folks from that event who are still entirely missing, no remains found. Their families had to bury empty caskets with a lack of closure.
Look up "where did the towers go?" on Youtube, a lecture by materials scientist Judy Wood. She argues I think conclusively that the towers were turned into dust by directed energy weapons.
(I know this will get downvoted to hell, but I suggest you find out for yourself.)
