How about we keep relying on deterministic tooling that are not built on stolen data and don't fuck the economy and the environment at the same time? How about putting a fraction of the money invested i LLMs into SAST and DAST tools? Maybe a dollar or two for fuzz testers? How about we look at projects like curl and build safeguards into the project to avoid footguns?

    I’m not opposed, that honestly sounds good. Now, let’s wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which fills up first.

    People will do what they do.

    I run small local models, I do a lot of what you are saying. However this technology and process is new. Yeah capitalism will fuck everything up but you can’t control people.

    Capitalism is a control mechanism for people

    So let’s make a competing one and swap it out for something else. Oh and by tomorrow, I’ll wait.

    Just because there are better options doesn’t mean you can change it over night and without set backs.

    I never said all that, was just pointing out that people are already effectively controlled. Just a little bonus aside, carry on
