If things were to otherwise stay the same, then it would. They won't. Some descendant of "vibe coding" will become the dominant mode within 20 years. Probably a *lot* sooner. Next year wouldn't really surprise me.

Also, Rust is more complex to use than C, so a small program is much better in C. And a large program is probably better in either C++ or Python(with a lot of library calls).

I don't like Rust, so I'm probably not being fair to it, but I struggle to identify a good use case. (Personally, I'd rather use Forth than Rust.)

Note however "will be", not "is". It's not there yet.
Then you have the problem of getting the right standards.
Then you have the problem of getting the right specs.
Then you have the problem of getting the right problem. ...
There's probably an end to this somewhere, but I doubt that it will be in perfection.

Nobody can write safe code. People, can, however, test the code they write, and if there is a comprehensive test suite, fix it so that it works safely. Debugging is mandatory!

If Rust didn't encourage copypasta, why didn't they just vibe code those commans wit with claude? I suspect Anthropic would have gladly donated the tokens for a permanent MIT license credit. /s

It is similar to the current problem with AI and open source. Which isn't surprising, since the open source movement and Free software especially originated in academic circles. The issue in both cases is that a valuable resource has been created cooperatively, and the mechanism of enforcement of norms is purely social. Hence it is vulnerable to exploitation and sloppification by AI companies, which are deliberately not following any norms.

If someone has a solution, now would be a good time to start developing it. Otherwise I suspect the attacked communities will close off the commons to survive, and we will all be poorer for it.

We've had this conversation in excruciating detail before, about 6-9 months ago, and we've already established that you simply don't have the knowledge about Markov chains to have a meaningful discussion on LLMs. You're just wrong about this, and I'm not going to repeat myself.

Pretty much all of them so far. OpenAI is clearly looking to brute force science problems by hook and by crook and take credit wherever possible. They have a profitability deadline coming up, after all.

It's a good lesson, though. Don't talk to your AI like it's a confidante. It's a spy, and your secrets aren't safe. And when OpenAI goes bankrupt, your secrets will be sold to the next buyer.

It sounds as if he was referred to the bar association evaluation committee. IIUC those are he folks that can do the disbarment. A court can only say "you can't be a lawyer before us anymore", but he'd still be fine in a different court.

No. Not "is generally", but rather "must be". If the software can decide to ignore it, it's not a kill switch. (OTOH, computers today don't tend to come with kill switches. Those would prevent remote wake-up commands from working.)

How long ago did this happen? The summary didn't list the date of the submission of the "testimony", but thing like this tend to take time to process, so I'm guessing that it happened well over a year ago. This make his claimed "honest mistake" due to ignorance believable. But it also negates your point.

That said, they won't be able to stop hallucinations without breaking the AI models. That's a mistake that people make all the time. What they need to do is prioritize having the AI determine how certain it's statements are, and including that in the statement...but people won't like that kind of answer.

Yup. The hookers make $500k/year, so it can't be them.

(the oldest profession will outlive AI replacement)

Eh.... I'd call that FinTech. Financial Engineering is more... optional.

When I'm worried my phone doesn't turn itself off, I just use a small flyswatter.

(And by small, I mean large.)

(And by flyswatter, I mean hammer.)

Works every time though!

(But it's expensive! I really ought to try this long press thing one day.)

When did it become acceptable to treat Dr Evil's henchmen poorly? I blame a lack of Austin Powers remakes in cinemas. Are you listening, Hollywood? Won't someone _please_ think of the children (and wives)?
