alt Hacker NewsI don't think you want LLMs touching projects that cost over $800.000.000, even to assemble "documentation" (since the LLM can't really document in as much it's translating what it's reading, because documentation includes much more information than what's stored in the code itself).
It's a cool idea, though, I'd like to see this done as an experiment :)

Anthropic / Google / Meta / Airbus / Boeing / ASML EUV machines, etc, etc... are all developed using LLMs and they are much more expensive than this
I am fully aware of the costs and so on. But i can certainly imagine that LLMs help with the process of understanding and editing old code.
And of course you need to test and debug before you ship to production.

Since the Bun AI LLM 'exeriment' conversion got merged I'm a lot less trusting of 'experiments' with LLMs. They seem to get shipped
My thought on this is that LLMs should be allowed to touch high stakes projects, but they shouldn't be left completely unsupervised.
Here me out.
Would you let AI manage your investments/retirement savings/etc. completely autonomously and unsupervised? Or would that make you a little nervous?
What if you had to undergo a X-Ray or a MRI. Would you ONLY want AI reading the images? Would you ONLY want a human radiologist reading the images? This is an interesting one because I would want both. In fact, I would find it questionable if AI wasn't given the opportunity to look at the images.
