I got exposed to more LLM shilling and so I feel compelled to share this:
The technological revolution that is claimed is fundamentally an economical one.
Replace LLM by "offshore coding teams" and the challenges, tradeoffs, and costs become clear.
If it became trivially cheap to outsource code to a team somewhere else in the world, what happens to code you could have written but decided outsource instead. What's the cost and what's the benefit? If the capitalist tells you "You should outsource your code, this is the future, it's inevitable" why are they telling you this? who does that benefit?
In this analogy, we used to be much more cautious about what code we outsource, but recently the quality of outsourcing has improved to the point that businesses and governments outsource code to other countries, and other land-owners, all the time, without double checking what the code does, or how much it costs. Is this really advisable? What's the risk? Who does it benefit that a large part of our society suddenly runs code that never gets checked? That nobody is accountable for? That no local designed?
Why is it a professor's responsibility to teach their students about the benefits and usages of outsourcing? What are the students going to learn? Who is ultimately going to benefit from the students knowing about outsourcing?
