That's not my experience at all. The complexity of my instructions still depends on the complexity of the task, but recent versions can do FAR more than write CRUD boilerplate.

1. How much of Proton's code is security-critical? I would bet less than 1%. The rest is UI and CRUD. 2. Did you see how complex the vulnerabilities that AI has discovered were?

"stop lovingly handcrafting all our code" - Lol, that really sounds like a clash of cultures. But I am mostly on the CEO's side. I feel more and more like a product manager. Opus 5.5 has become so good that I often only take a glance at the code before accepting it. At the beginning of the year, it was more like "add this function to this file, write test cases for it that cover x and y". These days, I increasingly just describe what I want, and only give minimal short hints of how I want it, and it turns out to be just perfect. It identifies and handles corner-cases that I haven't even thought of. There may be a market for "lovingly handcrafted code", just like there is a market for handcrafted carpets or sweaters. But I don't think it's very big.

I missed the part that said it involved leftists, fats, or lesbians.

Yeah, let's ressurect a 30-year-old flame war!

So far as I know, the problem has not yet been detected on other planets or spaceships.

I'm guessing that Martians don't run Windows on their computing machines.

Though I'm not sure heavier fines or criminal charges is really going to fix this, it's too easy for executives to rationalize away any risks.

The real fix is more funding for researchers (university and government) so they have the resources to investigate these things on their own. We shouldn't have to rely on companies policing themselves.

They'll probably postpone is US share prices start dropping.

No browser is going to bring back the good old days.

Yeah, like that matters.

These days it's more economical to sacrifice incels.

A brown nose?

Yeah, and Trump is promising to wrap up the war immediately after the upcoming elections.

I've always been a big fan of space exploration, but for a country that can't afford its lifestyle a moon base doesn't sound very important priority.

(Or maybe I should have said "isn't willing to pay for" its lifestyle.)

My cranky post was about a Samsung. I didn't mention the brand because I assumed their all that way.
