Comment "Adversary" (Score 2) 30

It's irritating to me that the word "adversary" has started being used to mean "attacker". They are not the same thing. An adversary is an idealized opponent with certain well-defined capabilities often seen in cryptographic proofs or threat models. It's not the same as an attacker, which is a concrete person, or group of persons, having attacked a system or is currently in the process of doing so.

BUT it still occasionally rewrites your entire code base for to fix a button

I think that's how it should work in many situations. Iterating on code is not strictly necessary when you have agents that can reason about and output thousands of lines of code in minutes. Any new requirement has the potential to result in architecture-breaking changes that may be best solved through a complete rewrite. What happens with the code in the implementation may not, in a completely spec-driven scenario, be relevant at all assuming no human developers are expected to work on it.

I am not sure what you're referring to, but the bizarre self-censoring of even mildly offensive words like "suicide" and "prostitute" on Youtube is getting to a point where it's almost comical. I am not sure if this is a result of actual rules that Youtube enforces, or if it's creator paranoia.
