LLMs .what do you smoke beforehand?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49353513I know this is going to sound negative, and probably a bit generalist but....seriously, what exactly is the LLM helping you with that is not just purely "time saving" - ie. Actual, novel work.I personally feel like while I cannot prove it, nor want to frankly, that LLMs have been neutered intentionally since around October of last year. 4.5-4.6 Opus....Every single company has degraded their models eirher intentionally or accidentally(probably worse) and they cannot admit it and will gaslight you if you even try to acknowledge it....but for my own experiments, LLMs are actually worse than no-LLM....I dont see anyone building anything they couldnt have done before hand....and I am seeing stuff that didnt need to be made...much more frequently....to the degree that I cannot remember the last good idea I have seen even on here (whereas there were cool ideas every month posted here)...I also cannot get even mediocre output anymore...Its literally just trash - Literally a prompt to dumpsterAug 18, 2026 10:14 PM
