• I mean, maybe it could be that, but what I think it’s going to end up being is more like a reputation thing, like an actual community with standards and basis for trust with vetted individuals that have a reputation of producing good code by hand, and testing it correctly.

  Think of it this way. There’s already a standard practice for keeping people that suck at coding from trying to write code, right? I trust that the same community norms that got us this far will continue to do well. I also believe that there will be some that have reputation issues because of AI.

• I’m just jumping out of bed, but I’ll give you a quick answer. You’re right, in some cases it’ll be impossible to tell that code was AI-generated, but what you’ll have is the reputation of the developer. If any of their other code is AI-developed, then they would be suspect, right? So, I think it’s gonna be something like that, and, like with other things in the open source community, a matter of trust and respect.

• I sympathize somewhat, but there many documented ways to test the functionality of a phone and its ability to make calls that would validate its ability to call 911 without actually calling it.

  on Colorado: to test the 911 service, you must first place a normal call to the 911 center. WTF, they don’t think you might be unable to make normal calls (the very reason you need to test 911)? in c/technology@beehaw.org · 28 Aug 2026

• If it’s not annual and a significant percentage of their gross income, it’s just the cost of doing business.

  Its not a total loss, but I can’t bring myself to see it as a win.
