Wow and flutter from tapes long past
I know a man who decades ago, wanted to get a GUI {graphical user interface} on an Open Source Operating System where the coders and maintainers didn't see the need.
He primarily wanted that just for himself.**
The man has neither written nor compiled one line of programming code in his life
- He first learned how to do basic coding in an interpreted language then learned the basics in C** he went to a physical library first** He has read a lot of /man/ pages in the process
- He then compiled the sources for X himself and installed it
- Next he learned how to compile a WM of his choosing and installed it
- Then he compiled X userland programs of his choosing
- After that he compiled other software that needed X windows.
It took him more than a year and a half to get so far!
He not only proofed to himself that determination and planning can get you to any achievement, he learned advanced programming and computing skills in the process. He also had a great Guru (you may guess who)
His skills became so good, that he could even write a FAQ for everyone who wants to run an OS but can't configure a X interface because they can't comprehend the (excellent, technical) documentation.

You may have come across the I-have-nothing-to-hide argument as a response to concerns about digital mass surveillance. It's a red herring; the real argument is about who gets to choose what to share.

Spare these few minutes to read this long long toot about Large Language Models
I've been working with POSIX Operating Systems for many many decades. Seek my other posts for more information check my GitHub page where some of the stories have been entered.
A lot has been written and screamed about vibe coding. I'm going to give you a short and concise rundown.
Individual X cannot even write a hello world program and the BASIC programming language. This individual has played with a Large Language Model and knows that such a system can write that BASIC program for him.
He fires up the model and asks for a Hello World program in Commodore 64 BASIC
The model response with
10 PRINT "fa wakkà"
20 GOTO 10
Individual X cannot analyze the code. He doesn't know that the second line will loop the program to the first and thus will create an infinite loop on his C64 emulator. Individual X has never worked on a physical bare metal C64. He doesn't know how to stop the code
The large language model created the second line because many hits in his database have a Hello World program for the C64 written in exactly this manner. The large language model is like a parrot which talks. The model doesn't understand what it says the model has no notion of understanding just like the parrot.
Individual executes the code and cannot stop it because he doesn't know that control break exists for that on the C64
Thus his C64 is in an infinite loop and he doesn't know what to do.
Now I will go to that same large language model. I not only know how to solder the Program Logic Array 96114 on the C64 with a mandatory heat sink I also know how to write code in assembly and I know many ROM subroutines of the C64 by heart including
JSR $FFD2
A sub routine which prints a character on your video VIC chip.
When I see that the model puts line 20 I immediately delete that line because it's unnecessary.
No extrapolate this on a full program, with 20000 lines of code, complete with libraries and API created by a large language model when the task is given by a vibe coder.
Since individual X cannot even analyze Commodore 64 basic code of a Hello World program, consisting of two lines where the second line is unnecessary, the person has no chance in hell to analyze the above given program
There are people walking around on this planet, who think that they will be able to write software, with a large language model, as their boss and think that that software will be usable in the field
When the 20,000 line program breaks the API is totally unusable and the task for that program crashes the whole server on the bare metal, censored will hit the fan
I urge everyone who uses large language models for any subject, that they should be an absolute master of the subject, where they use the model as a low level assistant

#Introduction I've been around the Fediverse for a few years, but at some point I ended up abandoning this account 🙈
So... let’s try again.
I teach computer science at VRAIN-UPV (Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain). My research interests include things like explainable and symbolic #AI, #probabilistic #logic programming/term rewriting, #causality, #concurrency, #programming languages, #reversible computing, program #verification, and #debugging.
Outside of work, I'm into #photography and I'm a big #sci-fi fan (books, movies, and TV shows). I also enjoy traveling, cooking, and getting outside for a walk or a run.

Thank you 💕 for the wonderful reaction

You are correct. Thank you 💕 for reacting.
As it stands now LLM large language models are damaging us in a very serious manner. I have to postpone the creation / assembly of a new computing system, using notebook APU, because the price of the memory required skyrocketed to USD 1600, from USD 256 {128GB DDR5}
I will now also have to fork over more than USD 220 for an SBC Raspberry Pi5 because of LLM generated demand for RAM.
Regretfully none of the three pillars which you stated, are even in the sites of those people who have created the serious mess, just from the perspective of computing Hardware assembly.

Without going into religous stances regarding Roman Catholicism {and their abuses (which also occured on a grand scale in SR / SA)} I want you to read what the current pope says about LLM and their enormous damage towards the homosapiens species
When a pope makes logical sense on a global scale through all manners of thinking, something is globally damaging our species

This reminds me of: Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems
Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems (Dialogo sopra i due massimi sistemi del mondo) is a 1632 book by Galileo Galilei comparing Nicolaus Copernicus's heliocentric system model with Ptolemy's geocentric model. Written in Italian, it was translated into Latin as Systema cosmicum[1] (Cosmic System) in 1635 by Matthias Bernegger.[2] The book was dedicated to Galileo's patron, Ferdinando II de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, who received the first printed copy on February 22, 1632.[3] It consists of four Socratic dialogues between the Copernican Salviati, the educated layman Sagredo and the geocentrist Simplicio. They discuss the findings of their "mutual friend the Academician" (Galileo).
