From <Sam Schillace>:[^1]

> Based on his experience with <GPT-4>, [Microsoft](https://wiki.g15e.com/pages/Microsoft.txt)'s Deputy CTO <Sam Schillace> developed nine principles for using [LLM](https://wiki.g15e.com/pages/Large%20language%20model.txt)s to create software. We call them the "Schillace Laws":
>
> 1. Don't write code if the model can do it; the model will get better, but the code won't.
> 2. Trade leverage for precision; use interaction to mitigate.
> 3. Code is for syntax and process; models are for semantics and intent.
> 4. The system will be as brittle as its most brittle part.
> 5. Ask Smart to Get Smart.
> 6. Uncertainty is an exception throw.
> 7. Text is the universal wire protocol.
> 8. Hard for you is hard for the model.
> 9. Beware pareidolia of consciousness; the model can be used against itself.
