This is in great opposition to the best software out there so far: tcp/ip, linux, git, emacs, postgres, and a long etc. We depend enormously on this tools and that’s fine because they are open source. But we are starting to depend enormously on proprietary LLMs and that sucks. I know we have open source LLMs but 99% of us are not using them; that’s reality.

I for one do all my LLM assisted linux distro development using hardware racked in my own garage using open weight models.

Sure, most people outsource control of the tools to do their job to third parties, and it will end badly for them. Not my problem.
