This morning, I think we'll look at some code. As a start, I have a question about Room. Brief LLM-AI digression.

Ten thousand years before the events of Dune, mankind fought the Butlerian Jihad against the tyranny of machine intelligence. We need a Humans Union.

Yesterday's closing idea looks good to me. Let me know what you think, if you care to. We find that we're not quite finished. A serious lesson is relearned. LLM-AI diversion at end.

Yes, the "AI Genie" seems actually to be useful. But it is also seductive, selectively harmful, and in important ways harmful to us all. Executive, manager, consultant, developer, ordinary person: Resist!

I veer into philosophy and LLM/AI, based on thinking about many small changes, and how they add to understanding.

Let's look around, get aligned, decide what to do, then do it. Well, we do a little, but not much. Have I learned anything? PSA: Eat the rich!

I expressed these thoughts in a reply conversation responding to one of Kent Beck's recent substack articles, very lightly edited here.

I stole borrowed adapted reused code for FGNO. Let's review it. CW: Live, dead, LLMs are not your friend.

Some rambling thoughts on "AI" and LLMs. Things I think about.

At FGNO last night, a member told us of experience with an "AI" and showed us the code. I wax Jesuitical, I hope in the best possible way.

Could an LLM-human relationship be like pair programming? And if it were .. ?

I have some strong objections to the so-called 'AI' LLM systems that are all the latest thing. But with some regrets, I have tried whatever is built in to Google search.

We're going to do the marks yet again! Why do I do this? And: a digression on "AI", and a very nice refactoring sequence. Also: Resist fascism, and take care of one another!

Markus Gärtner interviewed Ron Jeffries, co-author of the Agile Manifesto and Coach of the first Extreme Programming team. Ron reflects back on the past 20-or-so-years of Agile Software Development and dares to look ahead on things to come.

I know it's a sin, but I've been trying a chatbot in conjunction with programming. Here's a brief report.
