This is fine until we reduce it all the way to "but I liked being a human"

It does some neat things that, ultimately, are super obnoxious. Background animations and "sparkle" effects that make my terminal indicate activity at all times. Just subtly broken behavior.

I would be interested if a common outcome was to have a fork with AI PRs and one with AI contributions disabled. Not only does it satisfy both camps, but it provides a longterm anecdote of the effects of agentic code quality and maintainability.

Several people I work with have adopted its mannerisms unironically. Then again we don't exactly hang out outside of work.

With LLMs, everyone's a developer now. Welcome to the mainstream.


We could put Sam Altman and gdb on it; after all, they know a ton about AI. Elon Musk probably has some important insights too! They'd probably know best if a new competitor or any of these open source models should be allowed to exist. This should alleviate all sorts of problems (for OpenAI).


Mr. Musk is going to be busy for the next few months hammering out our new defense technology doctrine. So many issues, so few billionaires.


Replace this with Tesla, Waymo, etc and it's not far fetched. It might take a while, but liability is going to need a new legal doctrine to describe why it's not their fault that their car & their code killed someone.


Waymo at least seems to take a reasonable duty of care. Tesla clearly doesn't.


Pretty incredible how much humans can be conditioned, isn’t it?


And what has the FAA done to both costs and innovation?


I'm getting on a plane tomorrow. I think I would prefer a world with the FAA than one without it.


Move fast and break passengers


Not enough if you ask those 600 people Boeing killed from failing to disclose MCAS.


You’re likely taking this too literally. OP is saying that beliefs inspire action, but as of now we haven’t seen action from these people that support such an extreme belief.

What we have seen is incredible hype (justified or not), so it’s more likely just a continuation of that.


Precisely, all I hear is a bunch of cheap talk about something gravely serious, if true.
