what trend? they made thi ipod, they made the iphone, they've been late, really really late, for very basic features on either. And a bunch of just plain bad stuff.

Butterfly keyboards, magic mouse, touch bar on macs, not cherry picked at all. There are tons of examples

so no. Before llms came around, lots of people were hobby programmers. We learned. Sorry to be blunt, but being a hobbyist is not an excuse. The best programmers I know are hobbyists

i haven't come across many. But i have written a lot.

to be fair this didn't break thne system either. It refused to update until you followed all 1 instructions

by "completing it" do you mean having something that seems like it works? Or something that you know works? If it's the former then you've just had the computer do the easy part (creating something) and skipped the actually hard part (making it robust).

Are errors handled properly, is all input being validated? If using https, are you actually verifying certificates? This sort of thing

cryptic != complex. Are they cryptic? yes. Are they complex? not really, if you can understand "one or more" or "zero or more" and some other really simple concepts like "one of these" or "not one of these" or "this is optional". You could explain these to a child. It's only because they look cryptic that people think they are complex. Unless you start using backreferences and advanced concepts like those (which are not usually needed in most cases) they are very simple. long != complex

a lot of non-criminals do too... what's their point? /s

bully for you :)

the "guardrails" they mention. They are a bunch of if/then statements looking to work around methods that the developers have found to produce undesirable outputs. It doesn't ever mean "the llm will not bo doing this again". It means "the llm wont do this when it is asked in this particular way", which always leaves the path open for "jailbreaking". Because you will almost always be able to ask a differnt way that the devs (of the guardrails, they don't have much control over the llm itself) did not anticipate.

Expert systems were kind of "if we keep adding if/then statements, we would eventually cover all the bases and get a smart, reliable system". That didn't work then. It won't work now either

yes, "complex" regexes are quite simple too. Complex regexes are long, not difficult. They appear complex because you have to "inline" everything. They really are not that hard.

always read the news before updates. There was one that said manual intervention was needed, and gave you the exact command you needed to run

I would support them joining. But of course no fucking tantrums will be tolerated. You will abide by the same rules as everyone else.
