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

Also, nobody actually knows if human intelligence is just finer grained stochastic prediction as well.
An interesting but valid argument. It doesn’t make AI better than it is, but any human contribution and change can and often is also faulty. People have gaps of knowledge, sometimes unwarranted confidence, other times lack of care, or just miss things. It’s not like we’re comparing the perfect human vs faulty AI.
If you don’t mind the security risk then you can of course use an older release.
I haven’t read the original rage/drama but I can imagine if from other drama instances.
This post is certainly a good, founded response.
There’s some valid concerns in AI usage, but unwarranted or inappropriate harsh criticism when it’s an established trusted developer and engineer - if we assumed good practice before then we could assume continued good practice. Maybe LLM is one point of increasing skepticism, but criticism should be open, respectful, and fair.
They invested a lot of time and effort into a public good project. In that context, they deserve at least respectful and non-worst-assumptuous criticism.
Yeah, the current backlash over LLMs in any capacity is a meme. It has turned into tribal politics. There is no longer thought behind the criticisms.
Also, it’s not the stochastic prediction part that makes LLMs “not intelligence” to me. It’s that it’s only predicting the next token in a string of text. I don’t believe this can approach what we do. To me it could well be that some other sort of token prediction is what we do even when we introspect and think of a model of the world.
It’s that it’s only predicting the next token in a string of text.
An LLM has an internal state while predicting text. The “next token” chosen takes that state - a model of the world - into account. So a LLM is predicting the next token based on a world model and the previous text.
Saying that it is “only predicting the next token”, without more context, while technically true is very misleading.
