  • I am sorry…

    To be frank with you, the reasons is that I thought that I must invest the time into something more valuable than discussing a known issue in a yet another social platform.

    Meanwhile, I also do not believe my current life is prepared for such actions to invest my limited life time into, and push towards changes for all the people around the globe. Such subjects involved also assume medicine, physicians, psychology, local ang global economy, politics…

    For some, it’s type of food, for others it’s their life and business of multi-national corporation levels.
    It doesn’t look like both hot or casual discussions will make any change at this moment. This requires time, organically, for both ineffably marvelous people and animals to balance the existence in the infinite world we all live in, all trying our best…

    May I ask what makes you believe you have life time to work on it, just in your country, in your state, town, considering you, the ineffably magnificent unique and infinitely miraculous person, appeared/live in this Universe? Do you have people with sufficient impact on global views to support you?

    What about your family who believe in you to continue their Family Tree, and also others dreams and desires to achieve in this life?
    Will you have time for these, too?

    Do you believe you will change someone’s worldview, but why?
    What is your main goal in these sorrowful but subjects?

    No, thank you. Sorry, never.

    Not only that, but the huge probability of mistakes is just deafening. The last time I used LLM was in 2023 someone recommended for a task at paper work, and I got a literal headache in 10 minutes… Since then I never ever will use that sorrow for anything that is not for blackbox pentesting or experimental unverified data generated you may find in medicine or military isolated solutions.

    That deafening feel that every single bit of output from that LLM or void machine may contain a mistake no soul is accountable for to ask about… A generated bit of someone’s work you just cannot verify since no source nor human is available… How would you trace the rationale that resulted in the output shown?

    Faster? Is that so… Doesn’t verification of every output require even more time to test it and consider stable, to prove it is correct, to stay accountable for the knowledge and actions you perform as a developer, artist, researcher… human?

    Your mind is to be trained to do a research, remember, and do not depend on someone’s service to a level of predominance/replacement.
    Meanwhile, effort, passion, creativity, empathy, and love, in turn, you carry, supports in long-term.

    You may not care now, though, but you do you. It’s your mind and memory you develop.






  • Thank you, but I do disagree. You cannot know the “result” of that LLM does include all the required context, and you won’t re-clarify it, since the output does already not contain the relevant, and in the end you miss the knowledge and waste the time, too.

    How are you sure the output does include the relevant? Will you ever re-submit the question to an algorithm, without even knowing it is required re-submit it, since there’s even no indication for it? I.e. The LLM just did not include what you needed, did not include also important context surrounding it, and did not even tell you the authors to question further - no attribution, no accountability, no sense, sorry.




  • It’s worth to mention that the StackOverflow survey referenced does not include many countries with also great/genius developers, including Belarus, Russia, China, Iran…
    There are related cases raised on Meta scopes: Developer Survey 2025 is, apparently, region blocked…

    Apparently, while I’ve being employed in security as software engineer for at least 19 years now, I’ve never ever considered these trendy LLM/“AI” all serious, and still do not.

    Sorry, I have literally no interest in all of it that makes you dependent on it, atrophies mind, degrades research and social skills, and negates self-confidencen with respect to other authors, their work, and attributions. Nor any of my colleagues in military and those I know better in person.

    Constant research, general IDEs like JetBrains’s, IDA Pro, Sublime Text, VS Code, etc. backed by forums, chats, and Communities, is absolutely enough for the accountable and fun work in our teams, who manage to keep in adequate deadlines.

    Nor will use any LLM in my work, art, or research… I prefer people, communication, discoveries, effort, creativity, and human art…
    I just disable it everywhere possible, and will do all my life. The close case to my environment was VS Code, and hopefully there’s no reason to build it from source since they still leave built-in options to disable it: https://stackoverflow.com/a/79534407/5113030 (How can I disable GitHub Copilot in VS Code?..)

    Isn’t it just inadequate to not think and develop your mind, and let alone pass control of your environment to a yet another model or “advanced T9” of unknown source of unknown iteration.

    In pentesting, random black-box IO, medicine experimental unverified intel, log data approximation why not? But in environment control, education, art or programming, fine art… No, never ^^

    Meanwhile… so freaking, incredibly many developers, artists are left without attribution, respect, gratitude…
    So many people atrophy their skils for learning, contribution, researching, accumulation, self-organization…
    So much human precious time is wasted…
    So much gets devalued…

    The time will show… and just a few actually accountable will recover only, probably…
    This is so heartache… sorrowful…


  • No, sorry. I do not need and will never need your “support” for my mind to atrophy it and make my mind depend on your “tool”. My mind is my pen I want to train and learn about. This is one of the reason I was born I believe - to learn, discover, and communicate with people to learn from. That “pen” will only damage all of this instead, ruin my limited time, and devalue art and the whole fun and purpose of the art, I believe.

    Not only that, but… who in their dear mind… or what actual artist would like to “draw”/“write” with someone’s else art or words coming from that pen’s LLM/model, from some unknown actual artists…? What is the… reason… then? Where is the art then?


  • Thank you…

    Apparently, I’ve never ever considered any LLM serious, convenient, appropriate, similar to Markov’s chain, though those differ, and I disable and uninstall absolutely everything that is LLM related, or alters human effortful works, including programming suggestions, searching, and in any kind of adequate research, in the personal life or everywhere possible since 2021 (and some in 2023), where I had a few months of experimenting with those - enough to consider the time I still have to continue actually learning, discovering, and staying social as much as I can…

    Please… Please, in context of such education… instead of investing your priceless, precious, finite life time… into such empty void as unknown output of unknown LLM from unknown dataset of unknown artists… developers… people… Please, instead, please consider to take your time… and try to see the love in someone’s else works, courses, videos, books, articles, schemes, tables, drawings… who would be only heartfelt delighted to know… to know that someone else like you, like themselves… were reaching out for their experience they were gaining for decades and worked hard to prepare it for someone out there… in search… for someone who wishes and tries to create something, to improve the world… to reach for an achievement… to treasure a goal… to invent a miracle…

    Since isn’t the following the miraculous purpose to live and contribute to the infinite world? To gain experience by confident, adequate effort, to work towards achievements, to stay responsible as a human, to stay alive… Which is at least: personal contributions published, social interactions, actually felt and considered facts organized by accountable people, self-confidence and miraculous time you invest into learning the human experience published in marvelous works of books, articles, videos, forums, chats - the ineffable magnificence…

    There’s use for LLM, including pentesting, medicine and analyzing of unknown and random for the sake of random in scopes of “black-box”, for example, sure, but overly rarely and the fear of malformed facts, unknown sources, disturbed art… will always shadow any presence of such generative technologies, I believe… Yet, shouldn’t technology support you, your mind (i.e. not atrophy it but train and discipline it), your creativity, your ideas, your… existence?

    Since isn’t learning from someone else experience is actually important… Isn’t it ineffably magnificent to discover someone’s hard work… Isn’t the process of learning and discovering actually fun!
    Isn’t the knowledge that you unique carry valuable… What is the fun, the purpose, otherwise…?

    Please consider your confidence, skills, mind, and… your precious time…
