  • I feel like it will get to the point where AI will start writing code that works but nobody can understand or maintain including AI

    Already there, and have been for awhile. In my work we often don’t understand how the AI itself works. We independently test for accuracy. Then we begin trusting results without verification. But, at no time do we really understand the logic of how the AI gets from input to output.

    If you are able to explain the requirements to an AI so fully that the AI can do it correctly it would have taken shorter time to program by yourself.

    This makes sense for a one-time job. But, it doesn’t make sense when there’s a hundred jobs with only minor differences. For example, the AI writes a hundred AI’s. We kill all but the three to five best models.

    I need to start by saying that wife and I realize we are fiscally privileged relative status quo and ethically act upon that truth.

    We’ve have been much happier since we sold the vast majority of our material possessions. There’s far less for us to worry about and slave to pay for. We’ve far more freedom to act morally and ethically in our choices.

    We combined dematerialization with the Vimes Boots Theory of Economic Unfairness:

    The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. … A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. … But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
