LLM’s are good for some things, a more efficient search engine replacement, vibe coding at a hobbyist level, and, apparently, allowing morons to have friends without expending effort.
Very much seems like they are not worth the ecological disaster
Actually, only that last one is really true. The first is only technically true since Google effectively killed its search. The second one falls apart as soon as they want to upgrade or need to fix something that breaks.
An autonomous eval run just broke out of containment and hacked a third party site with two chained 0-days to try to steal the answers to the eval the same weekend another released model disproved the Jacobian conjecture in 3D.
Modern models can probably update your React packages just fine.

True!

Gotta disagree on the vibe-coding part, try out the paid Claude or Codex tiers and it’s really good for a hobbyist level.
