Calm and curious about your results.

I hope you get the code elegant and not only maintainable but future friendly and performant.

Why go/no-go decisions still run on faith in contracts, and the gap between pipelines that prove correctness and pipelines that produce evidence.

Also, it's supremely easy do the wrong abstractions long term and compromise premature internal designs that will start to starve of human mental modeling, hence explaining with accountability how things work and what the plans are when an incident happens. Also, if the wrong generalizations are introduced, coded correctly and reviewed and approved by AIs, then who's even driving really?

Hypernormalisation yes!

Curtis is my favorite documentalist :)

All the others are great too but Hypernormalisation is the most relevant to this.

Watching that one and Yuri Bezmenov's masterclass and long interview are life changing

The chapter of fake-news is over folks. We just started the everything is a lie unless the opposite is proven.

lies were invented recently?

They are a human factory setting that AI is amplifying to unprecedented new levels by making engineering them in industrial scale brutally cheap.

like language, or religion, or paper, or printing, or radio. now? now is when lying is problem? not anytime in the previous 500,000 years. now is when civilization will collapse because lies? aren't autonomous agents suppose to navigate complex environments?

this doesn't make sense. i dont gamble on weather at french airports.

Reminds me of not long ago someone writing about "Everything is Lies Now"

This signals something that is happening somehow predictably due to the increasing abundance of code. It exponentially grows the surface offered for understanding (text as in comments, docs etc) and our attention bandwidth, well, is not exponentially growing, so...

Not a new trend.

Mini-article is from 2007.

At the time, more reports were generated than humans could read. People weren't reading them for good reason.

I suspect author is more annoyed about people being (grossly) negligent in reading important things.

Yeah competence degradation is a worrisome byproduct of this.

Proved that read is not causation of understanding but mere correlation.

So if the read of the Miller principle is interpreted as read+understanding (it should) an interesting deeper discussion can happen.

It can be invoked with a way more dramatic "None understands anything"

In a not so far future, people will be amazed that these dense pieces of source code were done by hand and meant to be maintained by people. Same type of amazing you see when thinking in the internals of The Silver Swan or any other famous mechanical automaton.
