00:00 Introduction / The Rules
LLMs are revolutionising coding:
- Empowering non-programmers to solve previously intractable problems
- Shovelling toxic agentic asbestos into our digital infrastructure
- Making existing professional programmers hundreds of times more productive
- Destroying the jobs market and causing layoffs
- Finding CVEs and making us more secure
- Wasting ecosystem-changing quantities of electricity and water
As a professional programmer and lover of Free and Open Software, should I be embracing GenAI or boycotting it?
Member Gareth Smith is here to give their thoughts, in a talk and Q&A.
