    Ah. Definitely a translation issue. I didn’t realize there was a translation involved. Or that you were the author. I wouldn’t have been so critical otherwise. You’re doing great.

    “Attachment” in general doesn’t have a direction, but in the context of “attach debugger”, it does, because the target of the attachment is the process you want to inspect. In this case, the process is the code you’re writing, not the LLM helping you write it.

    attached a debugger to the LLM

    interpret the input

    This reads like someone who has heard of these general concepts but doesn’t understand them.

    But then again, I just imagined trying to be 100% accurate while still being concise, and I don’t think it’s possible.

    It’s also not really clear what the dynamic is supposed to be here. Is the LLM supposed to be invoking the generated code through a separate entry point like a test suite, or is the developer launching the built app with a debugger attached and feeding a prompt to the LLM whenever an exception is thrown?

    Neither one of those would really be “attaching a debugger to the LLM” though, and in either case it would be interpreting the output not the input.





  • I’d settle for just requiring interoperability. Seems like a reasonable requirement for a government to demand the ability to change vendors.

    We have that requirement when it comes to munitions. You’re not allowed to sell the military a gun for which you are the only ammo manufacturer.

    A side effect would probably be that more commercial software would be interoperable as a result, just because it’s easier for the vendors to maintain a single product rather than wildly different variants.

    For example, in 2006, when Facebook decided to open its doors to the public – not just college kids with .edu addresses – they understood that most people interested in social media already had accounts on Myspace, a service that had been sold to master enshittifier Rupert Murdoch the year before. Myspace users were champing at the bit to leave, but they were holding each other hostage.

    Those live, ongoing connections to people – not your old posts or your identifiers – impose the highest switching costs for any social media service. Myspace users who were reluctant to leave for the superior lands of Facebook (where, Mark Zuckerberg assured them, they would never face any surveillance – no, really!) were stuck on Rupert Murdoch’s sinking ship by their love of one another, not by their old Myspace posts. Giving users who left Myspace the power to continue talking to the users who stayed was what broke the floodgates, leading to the “unraveling” that boyd observed.
