Seems like the author simply does not like traveling to see things? Most of the article seems like minor annoyances that you take for granted.

Correct, I meant it in a more general way. Asimov’s favorite overarching theme is that whenever you try to constraint robot/AI ethics with rules, creative misinterpretations or misunderstandings tend to have outsized impact.

You should read Asimov ;)

Speaking of that, Anthropic is getting priests to try and teach Claude ethics https://observer.com/2026/03/the-catholic-priest-who-helped-write-anthropics-ai-ethics-code/

Counterintuitively that’s the definition of healthy in economics. If you don’t have busts, at some point your system will abruptly/violently cease to exist.

Reminds me of the silicon valley episode where every company repeated the phrase “making the world a better place”.

It’s statistically unsound to compare results of low probability events like this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_sharpshooter_fallacy

Are you using the planning mode? That's the way to get it to plan an exact set of actions, given a two sentence prompt.

I hope you understand that close to 100% of software developers employed by large companies have effectively unlimited access to the latest models and tools. Denialism would have presumably worked if this was something not a lot of people h

Have you tried this in the last few months with an expensive model? (Claude 4.6 opus high, for example) You might be pleasantly surprised if you haven’t yet.

In my experience large scale automated refactoring of code is something that works reliably for the last 3-4 months.

Your observation was valid in 2025. This is largely a solved problem now with better harnesses and 1M context windows.

I’ll go against the prevailing wisdom and bet that clean code does not matter any more. No more than the exact order of items being placed in main memory matters now. This used to be a pretty significant consideration in software engineerin

You can repeat your argument with photos, poems, code??, and just about anything else that humans produce. Not that you're wrong, but human creativity doesn't mean what it used to.

I'm excited for the long tail of techniques like this that are going to be discovered over the next several decades that's going to make this technology eventually run on a toaster!

I don't think it's specifically bad to have occupational safety laws, but overregulation in general has a choking effect. By the time it'll take you to navigate the system to build anything physical in the US, you can have tw

That seems like a weird tangent. If you give companies the ability to choose US government protection against their overseas operations being nationalized versus the ability to hire foreigners on work visas, the overwhelming majority of com

Oh I agree with you about H1B being exploitative. Unfortunately, the current status quo and economic footing everyone enjoys in the US is built on this and similar exploitative behaviors explicitly enabled by the US government for its entir

Your factory analogy is great because that's exactly how it happened and we outsourced everything to China. It's significantly easier to outsource white collar work. And you can keep playing the regulation game until there are no

You are absolutely right! Good luck though.

The government is not the friend you think it is. All the new regulations (carefully presented as crackdown) make it easier for large companies to hire immigrants in a more reliable way. All carefully choreographed by big tech. The chances

There's not much preventing you from starting a company and not hiring immigrants. This is something I'd encourage everyone with strong opinions about work visas to try and accomplish. You don't change a system by crying abou

This article is deliberately written in a way to aggravate people who do not understand how the visa process works.
