They haven’t just unleashed chaos in open source. They’ve unleashed chaos in the corporate codebases as well. I must say I’m looking forward to watching the snake eat its tail.

Singularity has arrived for software developers, since they cannot keep up with coding bots anymore.

To be fair, most of the chaos is done by the devs. And then they did more chaos when they could automate their chaos. Maybe, we should teach developers how to code.

    Automation normally implies deterministic outcomes.

    Developers all over the world are under pressure to use these improbability machines.

      Does it though? Even without LLMs, any sufficiently complex software can fail in ways that are effectively non-deterministic — at least from the customer or user perspective. For certain cases it becomes impossible to accurately predict outputs based on inputs. Especially if there are concurrency issues involved.

      Or for manufacturing automation, take a look at automobile safety recalls. Many of those can be traced back to automated processes that were somewhat stochastic and not fully deterministic.
