    i’m in embedded systems. i’ve yet to see an llm manage to do anything even remotely useful in anything close to my field. and i don’t predict them being able to anytime soon, because everything is proprietary and locked down to single vendors.

      Same, I’m in automotive embedded, and at best, LLMs are helpful for generating unit tests. No one trusts them to make good memory-safe code

      So, are you selling out your niche programming community to train the model that replaces you? Or are you waiting for one of your competitor to do it first?

        well since it’s all locked down there’s nothing to train on. and if you find something it’s usually specific to one device and doesn’t transfer.

              Well that’s the kind of quitter attitude they aren’t looking for. I guess you’re getting sold out by one of your competitors.

                    Not sure how you managed to read that into what he said. There are some domains where there can be no sharing. It’s not down to diligence. Nobody can share anything and so LLMs don’t know anything. Pretty sure Finance is locked down in the same way as well.
