Yes, suspected LLM is mimicry passing under the turning test,encheapened by poor editing, further encheapened by even poorer training. It is going to get both worse,and better at the same time. (I grew up with ELIZA.BAS, and used to easily spot fakes, and it is getting both easier and harder. ) I detest the words of LLM, but not the M. It's a statistical model. It is a very large language statistical model - that is constantly fooling slower hoomins.
Everyone is a maintainer of Microsoft. Everyone is testing their buggy products, as they leak information like a wire only umbrella. It is sad that more people who use co-pilot know that they are training it at a cost of millions of gallons of fresh drinking water.
It was a mess before, and it will only get worse, but at least I can get some work done 4 times a day.
Back in the 90s gcc did a three-stage build to isolate the result from weakness in the vendor native compiler (so, vendor builds gcc0, gcc0 builds gcc1, gcc1 builds gcc2 - and you compare gcc2 to gcc1 to look for problems.) It was popularly considered a "self test suite" until someone did some actual profiling and concluded that gcc only needed about 20% of gcc to compile itself :-)
The Amiga Pointer Archive is missing one: We went to get a Fast Ram upgrade for a A1000, and we looked at his work, and it was cross between a jeweler and sim-city.
We had the work done, and he put his boot disk into test it. He had the most interesting pointer... the boot disk was called Romeo, and the pointer was just a 3x3 square diamond, with a single line of pixels, to a 2x2 square diamond of pixels with a hole on the center... so you could literally see a single pixel through it. I had never seen anything like it, so I copied on my Macintosh, ( System 6.0.8, and system 7.0.1 ), and later to windows 3.1 onward to Windows XP, later screens became too large to need anything close to a single pixel pointer.
I wish I had the disk, that we got it from... just a single 3.5" Floppy labeled "Romeo" and we all knew what it was.
I scanned all disks, I've only seen "Bravo Romeo Delta" (a 1992 game) and a Romeo Knight music disk. But the site has a pointer editor, did it look like this?
What's FortNight? I tried looking it up but got fortnite as the top result, and forcing a literal search with quotes just brings up the dictionary definition. Sadly I don't know of a way to do a case-sensitive web search
