GP is right, though. Many programming communities, including (in some threads, but not all) HN, have become ridiculous anti-AI bubbles - what's the point of trying to have a discussion if you're going to get systematically shut down by people whose entire premise is that they don't use it? It's like trying to explain color to the blind.

What "discussion" do you want to have? Another round of "LLMs are terrible at embedded hardware programming ergo they're useless"? Maybe with a dash of "LLMs don't write bug-free software [but I do]" to close it off?

The discussions that are at all advancing the state of the art are happening on forums that accept reality as a matter of fact, without people constantly trying to constantly pretend things because they're worried they'll lose their job if they don't.

You wouldn’t be getting some dismissive responses if yall didn’t open with “star trek post scarcity singularity” schizo shit and the companies explicitly putting out hostile messages.

There's exactly ONE factual claim about AI in this entire subthread, and it is word-for-word "AI has been a huge help for my work".

Now you may read that as .. checks notes "star trek post scarcity singularity", but forgive me, I didn't.

I think you’re overly sensitive to criticism of LLMs.

No? I really don't give a crap what people criticize. It doesn't change anything in my life - I have plenty going on and nothing you or anyone says here will alter that. It's just sad to see a community I like (and which I've been a part of for longer than you've been programming) factually shut itself down to reality...
