Actually those two stances are NOT incompatible. I'm not sure they're both true, but they might well be.

Finding a code exploit is a task with an easily validated result. That's where AI is best.
Writing code that doesn't have exploits doesn't have a easy check. So AI is not as good there.

You could use a harness to check for exploits after you wrote the code, but that increases both time and cost, and isn't guaranteed to find all the exploits. (People and AIs think differently, and don't recognize all the same patterns.)

This will probably change. AIs have "jagged competence", but the areas that they are weak have been getting stronger. For now, however (and as I understand it) there are still many areas where humans are more competent than publicly available AIs.

It's quite plausible that sometime next year Yang's reported claims will be appropriate. OTOH, that would imply massive other changes, also. And it's also possible that the claims will still be exaggerated.

I get that slashvertisements have to exist to keep this place afloat, but "The glasses are available to order today" is such a massive fuck you. That's not what available means. The ordering website is available. The glasses are not. Advertisers are all gaslighters.

I'm sure Israel would have preferred to not have Oct 7 happen. But they weren't given that option.

Yes, they were. All they had to do was not have Netanyahu as president making sure October 7th happened. Or barring that, maybe not be doing illegal settlements and having soldiers support those illegal settlers for literally their whole existence. The same clown fucks who rant about illegal immigration in the USA love it in Gaza.

Internet censorship won't restart the engines. That doesn't mean they won't keep trying anyway.

They've been interested in censoring it ever since they became aware of it. It's truly remarkable how the CDA backfired so beautifully. It's somewhat stupefying how many people who ought to know better (as in, they wouldn't even be allowed to opine further about it) would like to undo that!

Netanyahu voted for Hamas. He bragged repeatedly about making sure they got funded as part of his strategy on Gaza. He is far more culpable than any other single person for the attacks that people like to claim led to this genocide, ignoring that Hamas was founded in response to an Israeli settler doing a massacre in a mosque.

IME the very best information can't even be found in fora, it's on private mailing lists.

Back when I had a Nissan 240SX I was on such a list called the 240-list which was at least twice as good as any forum.

The public is just too problematic for people who actually know and do things.
