Was/is your reading hook for AI-generated code different than for human-generated code?

The author is a Principal Engineer at DeepSeek. I don't know what that title maps to in other organizations. Their formal education/background is in ML however.

The tweet is a response to https://x.com/ronawang/status/1986874105472426188

(disclaimer: I'm a software engineer with minimal compiler theory experience outside classes in college) I wonder whether its possible to trust an LLM to "compile" your code to an executable and trust that the compiled code is faithful to the input without writing a static validator that is pretty much a compiler itself.

There's a lot of stuff the dev team can do that are not strictly business decisions though. Rate limits, QoS, etc.

Hi Peter - I'm on H1-B and not eligible for EB-1/2 or O-1. I filed for EB-5 through an RC and just got my EAD and I want to use that to start a startup in the US. If the underlying EB-5 petition is rejected after the startup is established, do you know if there is a path to re-sponsoring my H1-B through my own startup? I'm trying to understand whether I should wait for a proper green card before going down the startup route.

> Try murdering someone like that… well that person might have contingencies in place so that things just start to randomly burn down in your country……………

I don't even know where to start with this. The article portrayed your interaction with the DoD to giving them a Powerpoint presentation and making various attempts to catch their attention. Which you've portrayed here as a 'heavy affiliation'... so heavy that the state conducts special operation behind enemy lines to avenge you.

The information density of the average LLM response is much much lower than my coworkers' responses to my questions.

> The only way to have an LLM where data and instruction never meet, in my view, is one that doesn't update in response to prompts (and therefore can't carry on a multi prompt conversation).

Do you mean an LLM that doesn't update weights in response to prompts? Doesn't GPT-4 not change its weights mid conversation at all (and instead provides the entire previous conversation as context in every new prompt)?

No, the other comments that talk about possible architectural evolutions of LLMs are more in line with the intent of my question

Would training data injection be the next big threat vector with the 2 tier approach?

That is the cat and mouse game. Those books aren't the final and conclusive treatises on deception
