I was excited to hear some details about how LLMs are changing big companies' workflows. This is a fairly straightforward problem and good on them for discussing it. My first gut reaction is that there is no way I would let LLMs write a significant amount of my codebase. And then I remembered that not invented here (NIH) is a problem I have. If I let it decide what code I ship, I am making the same mistake as writing all my code from scratch. When I find myself worrying about alignment, that is what rigorous computer security policy is for. If it's not catching serious bugs written by LLMs it's not catching bugs written by people. Treating my own code as if it was written by someone else is just another part of computer programming.
