  Are you suggesting OpenAI and others like it might actually be…

  …overvalued?! 🫢

  Not just a security disaster, but a disaster for performance, testing, lifecycle management etc.

  I don’t think people realize just how amazingly stupid it is to outsource your core business to an LLM, unless your software company was a get rich quick scheme to begin with (which is surprisingly common btw).

  Not a programmer myself, but I don’t believe for a second that LLM’s will replace programmers.

  Altman’s bullshitting on social media is just marketing. Don’t believe for a second that this guy actually speaks truth or even knows what he’s talking about.

  However, I do believe that a lot of executives are gullible enough to fall for this vibe-coding scam and kill their business. I also believe we’re going to see a tsunami of racketeers selling broken products.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'It's Possible to jailbreak F-35 like iPhone', Says Dutch State Secretary of Defense Tuinman⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been working in the Dutch tech sector for decades. My general opinion about the culture of Dutch governmental institutions, including Defense, is one of neoliberalism and technological opportunism. Public officials are completely ignorant about technology, yet misuse technology to advance their careers by by starting megalomanic IT-projects that never realized.

  All of this has caused governments to become highly digitized, with large pools of IT-‘professionals’, yet barely able to maintain and develop the digital infrastructure they built up since the 2000’s, because of a catastrophic shortage of tech-savy leaders and professionals.

  The reason I mention this, is because Dutch public officials are generally both highly techno-optimistic as well as highly techno-ignorant.

  Tuinman likely shared this comment in an attempt to comfort the public, but it betrays his fundamental lack of understanding about the digital infrastructure that makes up the F35. And if Tuinman is being fed this sort of information by his subordinates, then I’m worried that the experts at Defense might not actually understand the infrastructure either.

  The risk in all of this, is that Defense and the political establishment might be lulling themselves into a false sense of security, by underestimating the risks.

  the risks involved.
