Don’t worry, there is nothing inherently “noble” at all about a matriarchy which enforces compliance through liberal permission for rape. Maybe more a matter of scale, a tribal raid versus the siege, sack, and rape of an entire city. The in

On a tangential note, try run Vibe Island (or equivalent) with Protoss WAVs for the agent sound effects.

If a security report is written for any particular human at all, I’d consider it to be a failure as an enterprise policy document. It should be written for The System, not for the boss; and LLMs are perfect for producing ritual boilerplate.

I'd like to see the studies which confirm that kingship (i.e. rule by the most mighty hunter or warrior) and violence is universal and did not explode about 5000 years ago, because that all seems to me like a mere extrapolation of the

Yes, it would typically be done under contract and then implemented as compliance policy across the enterprise cloud - it would not be up to a tenant to arrange a ZDR policy. Also, the models are shipped to big platforms to run as an execut

Yes I do. In anthropology the surviving “undiscovered” indigenous tribes of the 20th century showed a diverse range of social configurations - matriarchies, patriarchies, everything! Systemic violence came with the agricultural revolution,

Isolated Hunter-Gatherers tended to (and still) coalesce around the person whose opinions were correct more often then not. Violence was not a default until populations grew. The measures may be arbitrary, but can always be defined as “born

You might like Athens, in that case.

I think there is a subtle difference between you-or-I dumping a chat paste into the PR, versus an automated agent directly commenting in a PR. The former carries a human social implication, the latter does not. The weight of them is differe

They probably like to imagine that they are Mentats from Dune, but the reality is closer to truckers cooking in a motel bathtub.

That’s not how enterprise data controls operate in e.g. AWS Bedrock or Databricks - where they use models - sorry to inform you.

Right, in 5 years time the economy will be entirely vibecoded by pension fund and family office bankers. No one will be employed at all

The thing about gold rushes, and market manias, is that the outcomes are irrational.

Even if all the changes are “good” not shoddy, awareness of changes will still require layers of cognitive filtering. One human PM clerk will not be able to oversee all of the products, one developer will not be able to oversee all changes

Start with a scoped read-only permission set. Writing to production is another matter entirely…

Any organization that vibecodes a significant amount of software in-house instead of buying it will not be reducing developer headcount. I'd bet on it. The CTO or EngDir will not be able to run 10x10 agent-cli sessions, or review 50 vi

I’d suggest adding emdashes to your filter list.

It is all fun and games on-prem until it’s time for the annual support contracts.

Back in Socrates time, masters of rhetoric used https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_loci to memorize long texts without reading or writing. Something was definitely lost as something was gained.

You would need to give it AWS credentials and MCPs for that. I’ve been sending agents into prod env for over a year now.

They took a page from AWS on whatever the hell a Kiro token is supposed to represent.

“Fake it ‘till you make it” is not a venerable mafia saying, if you catch my meaning.

I second this. It’s now supremely easy to have a session hook which writes an atomic CHANGELOG along with ADRs for consequential decisions.
