  I love tech - tech that actually works well. The current tech we have for AI does not, so I'm not excited about it.

  "One such test for Python code, called a pytest" The brain rot from the author couldn't even think of "unit test".

    Why would you expect a reporter to magically know what a "unit test" is? Sounds like a simple miscommunication with one of his sources. Not perfect but not "brain rot".

  A really good pattern-matching engine is an "insane leap of science fiction"? It saves me a bit of typing here and there with some good pattern matching. Trying to get it to do anything more than a few lines gives me gibberish, or an infinite loop of "Oh, you're right, I need to do X, not Y", over and over - and that's Opus 4.5 or whatever the recent one is. Would you give it access to your bank account, your 401k, trust it to sell your house, etc? I sure wouldn't.

    >A really good pattern-matching engine is an "insane leap of science fiction"? Yes, literally. The ship computer voice interface in Star Trek was complete science fiction until 2022. Now its ability to understand speech and respond seem quaint in comparison to current AI.
