Ask HN: What if your LLM violates a patent?

1 pointsVikingCoder29d ago1 comments

What if your LLM has a hidden system prompt to encourage it to violate some patents?

And what if it has a system prompt to not reveal them to you, when it analyzes your code?

I mean, now we have to add defense in depth against the code we vibe? So you have multiple LLMs checking code before you ship it?

As a human, you should be validating. Vibe coding is not how real products are built, so if that's all you're doing, I wouldn't worry about it
