I know he says he’s ant talk a human about the proof, but why can’t he talk to ChatGPT?

Is the cost prohibitive , or a proprietary model?

Most people on my project are too. But honestly Claude has gotten good and for 100 dollars of tokens the code is more readable than a humans and I prefer to review it.

For what it’s worth a lot of the code in my company is similar in scope and style. Our design documents are very very thorough and catch edge cases .

I’m not in an ic role anymore but I do feel sad about the loss of handwritten code. It hits at my identity.

As for the article it feels like this is an abuse of ai and is being used for executive cover.

Arguably, it would have happened regardless of who was in power. I do not think Clinton did anything to stop it.

You are right though, the damage is unbelievable and it is heartbreaking.

I could see a republican administration banning this entirely, though they would just find cheaper workers in the U.S.

I wonder when this comes from other white class jobs— process engineering, autocad drafter, electronics design.

What’s interesting here is that it’s easy to see who is a corporate shill lobbyist and who is looking out for the concerns of the public.

I usually do not agree with her but I do here. There is a lot of nervousness where I live that the power rates will rise to support the build out in infra for data centers.

After working in tech I know they really are only in it to maximize profit at any expense necessary, and I personally do not trust them.

If you want buid out data centers fine, but build brand new infrastructure and supply your own water and waste management to not harm the existing community.

These companies are making billions and should be able to do this.

If a border patrol agent downloads your data, including data you have copyrighted, is that illegal ?

I suspect the truth is, that in a war of equal super powers, the winner will decide what was ethical and right.

I wish this weren’t the case but autonomous ai warfare is the future. We should accept that fact. Likely attribution for war crimes will be hard to pin down responsibility for.

This is just the beginning.

When autonomous weapons are deployed the scale will be too large and no one can be held accountable to prosecute like Nuremberg.

Personally I have my own opinions here about moral obligations but it is best to keep those to myself.

What’s your main issue ? The compliance audit being lax or the compliance not being assertive enough ?

PCI compliance works pretty well.

I would like to see restricted access to only us workers for us citizens data though.

Transferring us customer data outside the country should be illegal

Your tax consultants name is Claude ?

Dumb question— why doesn’t proof proposal construction (not the solution) in lean get celebrated more ? That seems central to understanding.

If these proofs are so important why is there not a central repositories of the proposal in a formalized language ?

It’s not the execs, it’s the economic pressures. If they don’t cut cost someone else will.

For the record I feel like I dm in your position also.
