Time to get the forks out! I mean, there is no stopping anyone from forking everything and just iterating off of that. But I dunno, look at zig. They tried to pull the whole "humans don't write slop, AI does, so ... humans only" thing, and it was so wrong that Bun got rewrote into rust. People who believe that bad code didn't exist before AI are not remembering the world before AI properly.

I have yet to see anyone at all claim that bad code didn't exist before AI. In fact, the famously viral "WTFs per minute" comic demonstrates that such an insightful joke resonates deeply with coders and code reviewers.

Isn’t it exactly the opposite: Bun overused LLMs -> codebase became a mess hard for humans to reason about. Luckily, bigger smarter model still could handle the mess and AI lab can afford spending $1M in token to rewrite it from scratch and the rest of the work to maintain it.

Can we expect that LLMs will be smarter and smarter without us running out of electricity?
