alt Hacker News> We have maybe 5 years of freedom before the walls close in around us, so take advantage of the Wild West while you can.
I suspect you're right BUT still maintain a bit of optimism. We miiiight end up in a future where most hardware comes with an OK-ish app/interface and some sort of LLM-Friendly technical documentation so if you don't like $aspect of the device, you're free to roll your own after indemnifying the manufacturer via something like an eFuse.
or maybe I really am naive :(
Lmao if a company starts shipping llm documentation for its products so you can tamper with them, you should assume youve woken up in a parallel universe.
I think most people on here fail to realize the demand to customize and build things hasnt gone up. Just because llms exist now doesnt mean normies all of a sudden want to start getting into programming, they dont care.
The only number thats gone up is people who were slightly interested in programming/CS before but were too undisciplined to learn things themselves. Llms are great for those lazy people.
