The company's shoddy opsec doesn't directly equate to the model's cabapilities. I am not one to believe anyone's hype, but I am not one to believe the AI anti-hype that goes on throughout Lemmy. A year ago, according to Lemmy, LLMs could never produce working code at scale. 6 months ago, according to Lemmy, LLMs could never produce working code that was secure enough to use in production. Now, Lemmy believes LLM can't be disruptive to cybersecurity as a whole.

In 6 months I wonder what Lemmy will claim LLMs aren't capable of.

    I still have not seen evidence that LLMs can make it easier for engineers to produce working code at scale.

    It's not evidence, but anecdotally i have two clients who have been working fully agentic for a good 6 months and they're smashing it. Even looking at it critically they haven't been able to find any obvious negative impact on code quality, product stability or performance or security.

    I think the secret sauce is that they weren't born with AI, they just integrated it into technical cultures that were already solid. In this context it does speed things up a bunch. Not a 100x multiplier or whatever dumb stuff they're pushing on Twitter, but you do get high velocity without burning out your team or sacrificing quality.

    And those 2 companies i just happen to know but they're nothing special. You take any boring software company from Paris or Berlin and i'm pretty sure you'll get the evidence you seek.
