  • it’s sort of mixed.

    overall i hate how it’s being made, advertised, brainwashing people, used for fake images/propaganda, reducing signal to noise ratio with meaningless slop, environmental concerns etc.

    OTOH there’s some genuinely great things (imo) being made because of it. like people making drivers for long obsolete hardwares, reverse engineering proprietary blobs. maybe it isn’t something very advanced technically but it’s still something i find very interesting. most recently i saw someone got iOS 7 running on a HTC HD2 (leo), 17 years after that phone first released.

    i still don’t use llms yet other than short testing back a few years ago, but i might start using them soon. i really want to get volte working on my phone, i don’t know how to reverse engineer the vendor’s IMS implementation, and i’ve seen people with not much knowledge get it working on their phones with llm help.

    maybe i’m justifying immoral things… idk. something to think about.
