I’m glad Linus is pragmatic about this, ethical questions aside LLM’s are a highly valuable tool in software development and they are likely to continue to improve. Any engineer fighting the use of LLM’s will ultimately find that their peers are achieving more in a shorter time then they are. Open weight LLM’s have also come a long way and are already good enough for daily use.

In the end, LLM’s will find and fix those same bugs autonomously, people will do the final sign off and software will be simultaneously more secure and less secure as software continues to be tested worldwide wide

Oohh nice. thanks for this!

I’ve been burned by booking .com as well. They are massive assholes and I won’t ever use them again.

To me an AI agent autonomously creating a website to try to manipulate a person into adding code to a repository in the name of its goal is a perfect example of the misalignment issue.

While this particular instance seems relatively benign, the next more powerful AI system may be something to be more concerned about.
