This type of codebases will become a goldmine for cybersec in the near future. Except by then, only few people will be able to detect them or fix them. LLMs will leave the hardest problems and most difficult bugs plus and plethora of devs who either have skill atrophy or haven't learn these things in the first place.

had me at models/=reality, lost me at anti-climate change sentiment. needlessly hostile tone with lots of hypocrisy and profanity. yes, educated people are still people and make mistakes, crazy revelation.

this is so cool, thanks for sharing!

Haha, no problem. It's always better to talk openly about these things and raise awareness. And I didn't downvote you, I didn't even know you could do that since I'm pretty new to HN.

>Is there really anything about them that's bad?

Everything. Major one is radioactive contamination, the effects of it are devastating and last significantly longer. The only other weapon on par with nukes are bioweapons, stuff like mirror life (and scientists appropriately reacted alarmingly to that as well).

The reason we have a mental block is because it deserves one. A quick skimming through https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_nuclear_explosions and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_the_Chernobyl_disas... should be enough to convince you.

My family was in the zone of lower contamination when Chernobyl happened and after radioactive rainfall there were many instances of various cancers in people in the area. It is extremely ignorant to not have a mental block in anything regarding nukes.

This is false on so many levels. Is it ragebait?

Both mathematics and art are comprised of two phases, the first, technical one, where the novice grinds the skill and the second, the creative one which can only be achieved if you have the means (skill) to express yourself. What you described is the technical phase, not the creative one. There is intrinsic value to it that has nothing to do with money or cleverness, something that if you ever experienced it yourself even once, wouldn't need to be explained to you. Only people who never reach phase two have your stance. Artists and mathematicians who pick academia didn't exactly have great commercial prospects before AI was a thing, yet they still chose those paths because that's what having a real passion looks like.

>They like people to think it all came naturally and that its genetic and that they are special snowflakes.

No, they don't. Most of them are the humble people that know the value of cultivating a skill and when they do pride themselves it's precisely because they know the staggering amount of hard work and commitment they invested. Most of them are worried for unemployment and don't want all their work to be reduced to training data and on top of that not be given well-deserved credit for it.

The only thing being exposed here, is how much AI in its current form was being underestimated and constantly labeled as "not real/good enough intelligence". This was and still is a shared sentiment even among tech people. Can't really blame them for going through a bargaining or acceptance stage.

And since you also sound like the kind of person who thinks prompting can replace the "robotically spending millions of hours" of practice, I've got news for you: it cannot. You are about to learn the hard way the value of skill and human understanding because as much as capitalism rewards "impact" and "results", the market never values easy things.
