Seems like he’s been pushed into using LLMs as a way to cope with the deluge of LLM-generated security reports.

    Anti-LLM warriors are just like social justice warriors, extreme right-wingers, Mormon missionaries, and pro-lifers: on the ends of spectrums with little to no nuance.

    I had an anti-AI signature a while back, but things have changed. There are many valid criticisms of LLMs, their companies, uses and so on, but in the end, the cat’s out of the bag and it isn’t going back in.

    Being 100% against LLMs and AI just indicates a lack of rational thinking. Not because you’re against it, but because you’re 100% against it.

      Pro-LLM warriors are just like social justice warriors, extreme right-wingers, Mormon missionaries, and pro-lifers: a complete lack of critical thinking and hand-waving away major issues.

      I was pro AI early on, but things have changed. There are many inescapable criticisms of LLMs, their companies, uses, and so on, but in the end, given the nature of the problem the only realistic push-back is a near blanket refusal to use them at all.

      Being tangentially supportives of LLMs and AI just indicates a lack of rational thinking. Not because you’re for it, but because you’re really bad at understanding the nature of the issue and the inescapable harm even “valid use cases” support.
