Um. Lifting the sanctions lets tankers carrying Iranian oil sell it on the global market and then turn around and buy more from Iran. How does that not make Iran money?

Guys, you can laugh at a joke. The AI doesn’t win just because someone upvoted a meme. Maintainability of codebases has been a joke for longer than LLMs have been around because there’s a lot of truth to it.

Even the most well intentioned design has weaknesses that we didn’t see coming. Some of its abstractions are wrong. There are changes to the requirements and feature set that they didn’t anticipate. They over engineered other parts that make them more difficult to navigate for no maintainability gain. That’s ok. Perfectly maintainable code requires us to be psychics and none of us are.

At a minimum, the agent should be compiling the code and running tests before handing things back to you. “It references non-existent APIs” isn’t a modern problem.

It’s not the storage of the information that matters as much as the presentation. Google’s search index stores a huge amount of copyrighted material, even losslessly. But they only present small snippets at a time which is not considered copyright infringement. The question really is whether or not the information being presented by the models is in a format which is considered copyright infringement. So far, courts have not found that they are.

I think 100% autonomous robotics and driving is still at least 5-10 years away even with large research teams working on it. I mean truly robust AI which is able to handle any situation you could throw at it with zero intervention needed.
