• monkyyy (9/14) Nov 12 its very slow at it and imperfect; while the code it copies are 1
• Alexandru Ermicioi (8/15) Nov 12 you can always take control of that by implementing your own mcp

code like crazy when it ever gets an import wrong.

its very slow at it and imperfect; while the code it copies are 1 
to 1 copies.

I think the ai control mechanisms that google and shit are push 
of more and more ai in the pile, is stupid, we have old proven 
tools, I would like to see unix file permissions so some ai 
doesn't delete a test because that will just work at preventing 
that common failure. etc.

ask it multiple times: are yo sure you de-duped it right? :D

you can always take control of that by implementing your own mcp 
server that will prevent llm from willy-nilly modify your files.

I'm playing with spring ai (java) to enhance intellij idea 
support of local llms (it currently doesnt expose mcp commands to 
local llms), and is quite easy to expose commands to llm that you 
control.
