I dunno. People worry we give up vital skills doing this. I question if they'll be vital in the future? If the LLM can genuinely solve the bug today, why wouldn't it be able to tomorrow?

One thing that seems fairly certain is that llms aren't going to get any worse. They'll probably keep getting better, but there is 0% chance they'll get worse.

If you can get away with not fixing the bug yourself today, the very idea of doing it yourself will be laughable tomorrow.

I try to learn the skills that the LLMs struggle with. Some of those skills will be made irrelevant too, probably when Mythos gets released to the public. But also some of them won't. Probably. The skills that Claude has a handle on today? Waste of space in my brain!

thinking is vital. just like homework at school to improve your thinking. final output can be totally ignored .

one could argue that thinking itself would be not needed in future. But we are not there. I would love that future though. thinking is suffering. if ai can think for us then it would eliminate suffering.
