   Pretty wild to see hacking content creators I once admired get completely AI-brained. For years you've made a name for yourself telling people the path to success was learning certain skills. And now, suddenly, the message is just "let the models do it?"

   I know what the models can and can't do. But I also know that they require domain expertise to keep them on track, and there's only one way to develop it. Hint: it isn't writing prompts.

     Quite a few youtubers I've followed over the years have become LLM zombies. I used to like watching them because of their interesting approaches to programming problems and reverse engineering, now it's just "I let Model-du-Jour hack at it for a few hours and for about $5000 I got a solution that doesn't compile but I see what it is going for."

     It's interesting to see those who are absolutely addicted to it, to the point that it's kind of scary that they've sacrificed their entire thought process to this thing. When they start to anthropomorphize it that's when I unsubscribe to them; they're too far gone.
