> where we describe exactly what we expect the generated code to do, and then formally verify that the now generated code matches the input spec requirement.

In ancient times we had tech to do exactly that: Programming languages and tests.

I have to warn you that it might just be sarcasm.

They make the best, no doubt, but would the Trump phone have the best of anything?

Sarcasm is hard to spot in raw text.

Has it been hacked? I mean, Trump's accomplices running conspicuous scams would not exactly be a surprise. They are all immune from prosecution, after all.

Not just expect, but wish for it. "It's OK when our guy does it." You could make a campaign out of it: "Show your support by letting your data get sold!" That should stick it to whomever they dislike this week.

I'm sure those good people have nothing to hide.

Are the Pfhor still engaged at Tau Ceti? Is there a bus route to Wolf 359? I have so many questions.

When they are doing Colossus (The Forbin Project), I wonder who will be building Samaritan (Person of Interest)?

The looting began with how they trained their models and now they want to continue the looting with how the models are being used. You can't loot entire industries by cooperating with them.

That's fussing around with symptoms. The real cure would be to remove the reasons parents don't have time for their children anymore.

Now watch Person of Interest and then name your computer Samaritan.
