i'm in embedded systems. i've yet to see an llm manage to do anything even remotely useful in anything close to my field. and i don't predict them being able to anytime soon, because everything is proprietary and locked down to single vendors.
They're useless in video games also.
Same, I'm in automotive embedded, and at best, LLMs are helpful for generating unit tests. No one trusts them to make good memory-safe code
So, are you selling out your niche programming community to train the model that replaces you? Or are you waiting for one of your competitor to do it first?
well since it's all locked down there's nothing to train on. and if you find something it's usually specific to one device and doesn't transfer.
Not true, it can train on you.
not really, i'm not allowed to share what i do
Well that's the kind of quitter attitude they aren't looking for. I guess you're getting sold out by one of your competitors.
well they don't share their stuff either
Oh, your field is perfectly secure from AI due to your amazing diligence.... Good work.....
Not sure how you managed to read that into what he said. There are some domains where there can be no sharing. It's not down to diligence. Nobody can share anything and so LLMs don't know anything. Pretty sure Finance is locked down in the same way as well.
There absolutely can. You don't need to input an exact copy of a program in under to train a LLM. You just need to teach it input information, process it, and then output it somewhere.
Any of the programers could create real enough "fake" system models to train the AI.
I'm just saying that nothing is safe. Even if I seed the LLM victory, general inteligence absolutely wipes the floor.
ah, you're one of those weirdos
