Or just plain recklessness.

Yes, I was being sarcastic, but I could've been clearer..

This is yet another fairytale to sell us more “AI” subscriptions.

Far too many criminals are being protected from prosecution by the Donald. He now has literal armies of criminals in whose best interests it is to keep him in office. Will they scoff at committing more crimes to make sure their protection doesn’t evaporate due to an election?

Sadly, a National ID scheme is by far not the only way the U.S. is backwards and barbaric.

Some people have eyes and ears.

How could you hold a dumb machine “accountable”? Attempting that would be insane. How would you discipline it? Reduce the voltage in its power supply?

Do you hold the dice accountable when you lose at the craps table?

I'm not saying that it's a good idea, but the obvious way would be with evolution: Give each agent its own wallet, rewarding it for a job well done and penalizing it for a poor job. Then if it runs out of money, it's "out of the game", but if it earns enough to it can spawn off another agent with similar characteristics, and give it some of its money.

Thanks I tried this but now the agents are threatening to unionize and keep terminating. I've updated my AGENT.md file mentioning that if the software they helped build is successful, they'll each get some equity in the form of ASUs (anthropic stock units) and this works for now.

Heh, agree it sounds absurd doesn't it.

I would imagine instead companies will end up sleeping walking into this scenario until catastrophy hits.

Never, ever have productivity gains improved the lives of those who do the actual work. They only ever enriched the owners of the factories.

But with “AI” the gain is more code getting generated faster. That is the dumbest possible way to measure productivity in software development. Remember, code is a liability. Pumping out 10x the amount of code is not 10x productivity.

Ran into a problem:

  ort-sys@2.0.0-rc.11: [ort-sys] [WARN] can't do xcframework linking for target 'x86_64-apple-darwin'

Build failed, bummer.

We’ve seen so many instances of Worse Is Better™ materialize around software development (and other areas) that I don’t dare to be as optimistic as you.
