FFMpeg is probably not as up high since video processing only needs to be done on the servers that receive media. I doubt most phones are running FFMpeg on video.

Curl should be up there, and "SSL" might be lower because of different implementations would split the numbers.

I completely agree.

On a side note.. ya’ll must be prompt wizards if you can actually use the LLM code.

I use it for debugging sometimes to get an idea, or a quick sketch up of an UI.

As for actual code.. the code it writes is a huge mess of spaghetti code, overly verbose, with serious performance and security risks, and complete misunderstanding of pretty much every design pattern I give it..

LLMs use the work of other people without payment or attribution, and uses the models they train to compete against the people whose work they stole. It's a parasitic relationship, an invasive species destroying an ecosystem.

Farmers still get paid for the food they grow, and restaurants still get paid to prepare it, and supermarkets to sell it. They are alternatives serving different needs. Their presence is the result of market demand, not of massive capital investment. There is balance and symbiosis.

This is hardly a suitable analogy.

Big tech is inserting LLMs before content. They're using people's work to compete against them and strangle them out.

I saw a video recently that talked about a chatbot "therapist" that ended up telling the patient to murder a dozen people [1].

It was mind-blowing how easy it was to get LLMs to suggest pretty disturbing stuff.

It's already happening, a lot. I don't think anyone is claiming an llm is a therapist, but people use chatgpt for therapy every day. As far as I know no LLM company is taking any steps to prevent this - but they could, and should be forced to. It must be a goldmine of personal information.

I can't imagine some therapists, especially remote only, aren't already just acting as a human interface to chatgtp as well.

"One news report found an AI-powered therapist chatbot recommended “a small hit of meth to get through this week” to a fictional former addict."

Not at all surprising. I don't understand why seemingly bright people think this is a good idea, despite knowing the mechanism behind language models.

Hopefully more states follow, because it shouldn't be formally legal in provider settings. Informally, people will continue to use these models for whatever they want -- some will die, but it'll be harder to measure an overall impact. Language models are not ready for this use-case.
