    Yes, because I clearly see a future where people use local LLMs on their own computers to help program the system that they want to create.

    This can be from completely open source and open weight models in open source projects to company owned models on company software.

    I do not like the centralization of LLMs to a few (mainly USA based) companies. This is definitely not the future that I want.

    Our department are educating software engineers and computer scientists.

    @rhialto @jaredwhite And the local software industry clearly tells us that our graduates need to both be able to read and understand code, write it "by hand", and be able to proficiently use LLMs in a integrated development method in some form of agentic software development.

    So the question for us as a department is how do we take high school graduates and give them these competences within 5 years.

    @UlrikNyman @jaredwhite If people need to be able to write code by hand, you certainly should not use LLMs. It has been shown that LLMs cause brain rot (less informally worded: deskilling). Many people have complained that they don't learn anything after having used an LLM. So that is a reason (on top of the immorality of LLMs and the fact that they destroy the world) not to use them, certainly not in education.

    Apart from that, all arguments against LLMs in this thread should be well known already, including to you, so there really is no reason to demand that they are produced again and again.
