Well I guess we're done then. AGI is here. We can go home guys, the billionaires no longer need us.

Yeah this is a basic problem that's been solved since the advent of PGP. As many other posters have said, this isn't about age verification.

> compute shall keep getting cheaper as it's always been since 60 years or something

past success is not a strong indicator for future success.

Then just start rubber-stamping their code. Say you "vibe" read it.

Where can one even find the seasons? I only found season 1 on Blu-ray.

Sounds like we're finally doing agile.

Sure, but surely you expect a `func add(a, b) { return a + b; }` to actually produce a + b, in whatever way it finds best? And if it doesn't, you can reproduce the error, and file a bug? And then someone can fix that bug?

Ok, but we treat them as bugs that we can reproduce and assume that they are solvable? We don't just assume that it's intrinsic to the compiler that it must have bugs, and that they will occur in random, non-deterministic ways?

Do these compilers sometimes give correct instructions and sometimes incorrect instructions for the same higher level code, and it's considered an intrinsic part of the compiler that you just have to deal with? Because otherwise this argument is bunk.

Computer memory, even cheap consumer grade stuff, has much higher reliability than 90%. Otherwise your computer would be completely unusable!

What is the ratio of Markdown to Code with these agents? How readable is the Markdown after you've finished using it to develop your plan? How much time does it take to review code so closely vs. writing it yourself in the first place?

You don't have to. How else are the new hires going to learn the downsides of outputting so much unreadable BS?
