<p>I got:<p>"Hello, world! Welcome to the classic programming greeting. It is the traditional test message used to introduce beginners to computer science and verify that a language's syntax is properly understood"<p>Which clearly shows that there will be an avalanche of issues when non-technical people discover the joys of non-deterministic results.</p>

<p>Conversely, you have "full ownership" and have the ability to decide the direction, as long as it's the same direction as your higher-ups have decided.<p>All the responsibility is still yours though.</p>

<p>From past experiences (and I'm sure I'm not alone here), I can almost guarantee that the senior devs did communicate the problems, but they were ignored or brushed aside.<p>Very seldomly does middle/upper management truly listens to engineers, unless there's buy-in from the CTO/VP to champion the ideas and complaints.</p>

<p>What does AGI look like in your opinion?<p>Personally, I've used LLMs to debug hard-to-track code issues and AWS issues among other things.<p>Regardless of whether that was done via next-token prediction or not, it definitely looked like AGI, or at least very close to it.<p>Is it infallible? Not by a long shot. I always have to double-check everything, but at least it gave me solid starting points to figure out said issues.<p>It would've taken me probably weeks to find out without LLMd instead of the 1 or 2 hours it did.<p>In that context, I have a hard time thinking how would a "real" AGI system look like, that it's not the current one.<p>Not saying current LLMs are unequivocally AGI, but they are darn close for sure IMO.</p>

<p>Yeah, that was my understanding as well, so I fail to see how a proper SOC2 would have prevented this.<p>I mean ideally a proper SOC2 would mean there are processes in place to reduce the likelihood of this happening, and then also processes to recover from if it did ended up happening.<p>But the end result could've been essentially the same.</p>

<p>Would a proper SOC2 audit have prevented this?<p>I've been through SOC2 certifications in a few jobs and I'm not sure it makes you bullet proof, although maybe there's something I'm missing?</p>

<p>Not bad per se but how much legal weight does it actually carry?<p>I presume zero.. but nonetheless seems like people will take it as valid anyway.<p>That can be dangerous I think.</p>
