This was pretty much my first experience with LLM code generation when these things first came out.

It's still a present issue whenever I go light on prompt details and I _always_ get caught out by it and it _always_ infuriates me.

I'm sure there are endless discussions on front running overconfident false positives and being better at prompting and seeding a project context, but 1-2 years into this world is like 20 in regular space, and it shouldn't be happening any more.

I had my highest appraisals and biggest bonuses when I didn't do the job I was hired to do.

I was assigned to help team members on the lowest rungs of "performance" metrics. My stats went to shit.

Some teammates smashed it, others didn't. My influence and pay increased and nothing felt right.

Ended up leaving the best org of the company because I couldn't (at the time) understand what was happening.

IMO, looking back, as amazing and 'right' as this scenario feels (OP and myself), it needs the full support of the entire company to make it work.

This is exactly how it does it. The entire conversation (including bot responses) is part of the payload on each new input/message request.

Yet there it is at the top of HN.

Ridiculous that this has a crypto label. It's the same game as all of the senior people I know who have been hit with fake anti virus, fake software updates, fake banking apps etc.

Start small and harmless, take a small payment, request higher access, get a screen share or account password. Game over.

That's weird.. I don't recall feeling like it was a money thing that I had a Spectrum, only that my parents had made the 'wrong' call on a 50/50 decision (though I will forever be grateful for that early exposure to programming!)

Trying to search for local prices back then is tricky, but they look to have been in the same ballpark (£180-200).

Sellers generate fake orders for their products using real identities, actually send the product to those people, but leave a fake review in their name.

I've tried raising the issue repeatedly with Amazon, but I've now given up and look forward to the random crap I get sent almost on a monthly basis.

Last time I tried this is it was a complete ballache to get iMessage working - I expect other services are similarly problematic. Is this still a problem?

Kinda amusing that it looks like the girl in flight is about to slam hard!

Sad to not see Baidu on there.
