Comment Honestly who attacks the FSF? (Score 0) 23

LLM crawlers are understandable these days, but who on earth is actively trying to take the FSF down?

A bunch of heathen VIM users trying to stop people from accessing EMACS? What the heck?

Let's say you actually managed to take down the FSF website. Who would even notice or care? How would that help your hacker rep in any way? You'd be a laughingstock for making the attempt.

In each of these cases, you do have to know what you're doing, and you have to be able to know when it's right. But the things it does, do save me time and research effort.

Likewise.

They are just tools. Each user has to learn how to use them for their own use cases. They are neither panaceas nor useless.

In short, "AI coding" is not as mystical as it seems. Doing little that prior sets of tools were not doing. It's just more convenient, perhaps automating the use of numerous such existing tools. It still requires a skeptical review of the code and likely the addition of defensive code.

Right. It's a tool.

It's not the singularity, and it's also not "useless" like some energetic posters here want it to be. LLMs are just tools, which devs need to figure out how best to use for their use cases.
