Would this be the same s 'corn fritters' in Canada?

OK Romania, now you know which building needs to have repeated, ongoing cockroach and bedbug infestations... and stinky cheeses/spoiled milk 'accidentally' ending up in the HVAC systems.

I'm 50/50 on whether that name is awesome, or a big 'Oof' marketing-wise ;-)

Ah, hashcash. Wish that had taken off, it was a good idea ...

Just using "LLM" is also a bit over-specific, however, as it'd exclude text-to-image models, and others.

Fair point. I haven't heard of an equivalent to LLM for, as per your example, text-to-image models. Hmm.

Oooh, Iike that one.

I feel this -- we had a junior dev on our project who started using AI for coding, without management approval BTW (it was a small company and we didn't yet have a policy specifically for it. Alas.)

I got the fun task, months later, of going through an entire component that I'm almost certain was 'vibe coded' -- it "worked" the first time the main APIs were called, but leaked and crashed on subsequent calls. It used double- and even triple-pointers to data structures, which the API vendor's documentation upon some casual reading indicated could all be declared statically and re-used (this was an embedded system); needless arguments; mallocs and frees everywhere for no good reason (again due to all of the un-needed dynamic storage involving said double/triple pointers to stuff). It was a horrible mess.

It should have never gotten through code review, but the senior devs were themselves overloaded with work (another, separate problem) ...

I took two days and cleaned it all up, much simpler, no mem leaks, and could actually be, you know, used more than once.

Fucking mess, and LLMs (don't call it "AI") just allow those who are lazy and/or inexperienced to skate through short-term tasks, leaving huge technical debt for those that have to clean up after.

If you're doing job interviews, ensure the interviewee is not connected to LLMs in any way and make them do the code themselves. No exceptions. Consider blocking LLMs from your corp network as well and ban locally-installed things like Ollama.

Please everyone, consider calling "AI" something more accurate -- they're not intelligent, though definitely 'artificial' as in man-made. I personally like the terms "stochastic parrot" or even just "LLM".

Fuck AI. This company and whomever created such videos should be charged with hate crimes and fraud. So tired of this bullshit ruining society and the internet.

PRAISE "BOB"!!

Terrifying

Edit: Beware the Goopacapra!

Yes, and they used the name first, not google. Arseholes.
