<p>Irish siding with a colonial terrorist power which flounders its genocidal ambitions freely financed by a petro state which also flounders its genocidal ambitions freely instead of the indigenous people of a land who's artefacts and scriptures are in the name of the land as well as dug up from the ground has to be the biggest moral confusion of the 21st century.</p>

<p>The argument conveniently always goes such that Israel is the baddie.<p>Curious how that goes, especially since Israels ulterior motives are always implied, they're not taken by their word.<p>And Islamists, who share their motives openly with anyone willing to listen are ignored.</p>

<p>> The magic<p>Hilarious that you start with that as TAO requires<p>- Continuous adaptation makes it challenging to track performance changes and troubleshoot issues effectively.<p>- Advanced monitoring tools and sophisticated logging systems become essential to identify and address issues promptly.<p>- Adaptive models could inadvertently reinforce biases present in their initial training data or in ongoing feedback.<p>- Ethical oversight and regular audits are crucial to ensure fairness, transparency, and accountability.<p>Not much magic in there if it requires good old human oversight every step of the way, is there?</p>

<p>I highly doubt that, and its in OPs article.<p>First, a vendor will have the best context on the inner workings and best practices of extending the current state of their software. The pressure on vendors to make this accessible and digestable to agents/ LLMs will increase, though.<p>Secondly, if you have coded with LLM assistance (not vibe coding), you will have experienced the limited ability of one shot stochastic approaches to build out well architected solutions that go beyond immediate functionality encapsulated in a prompt.<p>Thirdly, as the article mentions, opportunity cost will never make this a favorable term - unless the SaaS vendor was extorting prices before. The direct cost of mental overhead and time of an internal team member to hand-hold an agent/ write specs/ debug/ firefight some LLM assisted/ vibe coded solution will not outweigh the upside potential of expanding your core business unless you're a stagnant enterprise product on life support.</p>

<p>I do not see how in due time, this will <i>not</i> turn into an absolute hot mess for supply chains.<p>If the marginal cost of writing code falls flat, the opportunities to plant exploits skyrocket.<p>Human attention is limited and things will fall through the inevitable cracks.<p>Will dependency upgrades become its own sandboxing ritual?</p>

<p>Adverserial work (be it agent or human).<p>The one difference between "can do" and "should be trusted to do" is the ability to systematically prove that "can do" holds up close to 100% of task instances and under adverserial conditions.<p>Hacking and pentesting are already scaling fully autonomously - and systematically.<p>For now, lower level targets aren't yet attractive as such scale requires sophisticated (state) actors, but that is going to change.<p>So building systems that white-hat prove your code is not only functional but competent are going to be critical not to be ripped apart by black-hat later on.<p>One nice example that applies this quite nicely is roborev [0] by the legendary Wes McKinney.<p>0: <a href="https://github.com/roborev-dev/roborev" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/roborev-dev/roborev</a></p>
