Not really applicable to ML. The massive amount of compute running on the GPU is not executing in Python, and is basically the same regardless of host language.

I imagine by this they meant `python -m venv` specifically, using that interface directly, rather than through another wrapper CLI tool.

And if you're writing machine code directly, you're still relying on about ten layers of abstraction that the wizards at the chip design firms have built for you.

"MongoBleed Explained by an LLM"

If it is, it's less fluffy and empty than most of LLM prose we're usually fed. It's well explained and has enough details to not be overwhelming.

Honestly, aside from the "<emoji> impact" section that really has an LLM smell (but remember that some people legit do this since it's in the llm training corpus), this more feels like LLM assisted (translated? reworded? grammar-checked?) that pure "explain this" prompt.


I didn't use AI in writing the post.

I did some research with it, and used it to help create the ASCII art a bit. That's about it.

I was afraid that adding the emoji would trigger someone to think it's AI.

In any case, nowadays I basically always get at least one comment calling me an AI on a post that's relatively popular. I assume it's more a sign of the times than the writing...


Thank you for the clarification! I'm sorry for engaging in the LLM hunt, I don't usually do. Please keep writing, this was a really good breakdown!

In hindsight, I would not even have thought about it if not for the comment I replied to. LLM prose fail to make me read whole paragraphs and I find myself skipping roughly the second half of every paragraph, which was definitely not the case for your article. I did somewhat skip at the emoji heading, not because of LLMs, but because of a saturation of emojis in some contexts that don't really need them.

I should have written "this could be LLM assisted" instead of "this more feels like LLM assisted", but well words.

Again, sorry, don't get discouraged by the LLM witch hunt.


I’m about ready to start flagging every comment that complains about the source material being LLM-generated. It’s tiresome, pointless, and adds absolutely nothing useful to the discussion.

If the material is wrong, explain why. Otherwise, shut up.


Though the source article was human written, the public exploit was developed with an LLM.

Or the common case of redacting a name, address, or other sensitive text in a screenshot of a web page, word doc or PDF. In those, getting the font is very straightforward.

You also don't need to match the whole redacted text at once - depending on the size of the pixels, you can probably do just a few characters at a time.


"basically"


Do you think that the LLM helped deliver a thoughtful letter to Rob Pike?

AI is also unnecessary.

So is the internet, computers even

The concept of the individual carbon footprint was invented precisely for the reason you deploy it - to deflect blame from the corporations that are directly causing climate change, to the individual.

You are indeed a useful tool.
