navigating AI hype. Dan Lyke / comment 0
Lest you think I'm all anti-LLM all the time, I'm pondering <antirez> Don't fall into the anti-AI hype
And... I've been led astray by Google Gemini, and had it delete data. I'm feeling very much like my coworker who's using Claude Code is introducing a lot of subtle regressions, but it's hard to really point my finger at it. I totally get the absolutists, but, you know, I live in the United States, I definitely have some malleable ethics. And I know that when I rely on LLMs I not only don't learn anything, I'm misinformed, and most of the business processes in which "AI" is introduced are there to make life worse for the customer/consumer.
And, of course, it's obviously a bubble that's going to have tremendous economic impact on us all when it pops.
So I'm trying to navigate all of this...

Arthur Charpentier: Vibe Coding and the Next Silent Cyber Risk
For casualty insurers, this loss of visibility turns a software defect into a provenance problem. After a loss, the insured may need to show who requested the change, which model or tool generated it, what modifications and dependencies were introduced, what tests were run, who approved deployment, and what monitoring followed. If that chain cannot be reconstructed, the insurer must assess causation and liability without a reliable evidentiary record.

A friend refers to the "a pedestrian was struck by a car" construction as the "exonerative" tense, and that shall be its name henceforth and hereafter.

Sitting here mashing reload on the PG&E outage map, noting that the two addresses I have real-time data on aren't in the outage map yet, and all of the little disconnected areas seem implausible...
