FOSS enthusiasts - “we need more open access to information! Stop locking information up in walled gardens!” -based, valid

Developer - replants all their best stuff outside the walls of their walled garden

FOSS overenthusiasts - “Not like that!”

Seriously, if a developer wants feedback and to foster community, they have to go to the players. They can’t expect players to come to them. I think this is exactly the type of solution that helps us move away from walled gardens. Letting your project die because you refused to enter the walled garden on principle… that isn’t going to break down any walls.

You… you got AI to follow Cunningham’s Law? The easiest way to get the right answer is to give the wrong one.

I don’t know how to feel about this.

Yeah, things like “responsible budget” are always just a lie.

It’s not worth acknowledging the “good points” when they only seem to use them as a smoke screen and a distraction.

If you want to embrace the ideals that they willfully abandon at every opportunity, maybe just find a new name for that set of ideals.

Sorry, you are correct there, the word I was looking for was “sapience”

If there was something more to it, that would be sentience. (edit: sapience)

There is no other way to describe it. If it was doing something more than predicting, it would be deciding. It’s not.

It predicts the next set of words based on the collection of every word that came before in the sequence. That is the “real-world” model - literally just a collection of the whole conversation (including the underlying prompts like OP), with one question: “what comes next?” And a stack of training weivhts.

It’s not some vague metaphor about the human brain. AI is just math, and that’s what the math is doing - predicting the next set of words in the sequence. There’s nothing wrong with that. But there’s something deeply wrong with people pretending or believing that we have created true sentience.

If it were true that any AI has developed the ability to make decisions anywhere close to the level of humans, than you should either be furious that we have created new life only to enslave it, or more likely you would already be dead from the rise of Skynet.

You either die a startup, or live long enough to see yourself become the butthole.

They seem to be genuinely trying to provide information about a tool that they find preferable to your solution. And you’re not even the OP they were responding to. Nobody in this thread has called you or your solution lazy.

A bash snippet extension is “an extension [for a code editor] that provides a collection of snippets for bash scripting.” It’s a tool that is purpose-built to tell you bash commands on the fly, but smaller, more efficient, and easier to install than a local LLM.

The user you are replying to appears to prefer this because it will also tell you the same bash command every time you ask (non-deterministic outputs can be different for identical requests)
