What do you mean by this?

> Whenever I’ve seen AI researchers talk about the possibility of AI writing fiction they always sound very confused about why people read novels.

Why do people read novels? For the story or something else?

skinfaxi··on Supreme Court permits states to use SAVE database for citizenship checks
So what's the allowed level of voter fraud we should accept? And the fact check is about votes not registered voters. Funny how it focuses on national elections when local elections can be swayed by handfuls of votes.

Didn't it recently come to light of NJ registering thousands of non-citizens to vote?

I like this way of branching and adding context for the user. It would be interesting to make it more generalizable to other texts.

> Federal gas taxes don't count, because those go to the Highway Trust Fund which funds road construction, which is not an operating expense.

Doesn't the Highway Trust Fund pay for road maintenance as well?

skinfaxi··on Towards Self-Driving Codebases
I've had a similar experience, also at a very large organization. In my case this person chose that kind of environment because it allowed them to work on side stuff while waiting for approvals, etc. A lot of people in very large companies don't view the grind of organizational friction inhibiting their actions as problematic.

> Should it be fully agentic? Should there be human intervention here to approve the CAPA? Open questions to be answered.

I think a point we are grappling with is, what necessitates human intervention, like philosophically. Is it accountability? I was thinking about this in terms of code review and it's not like we would fire someone if they broke prod, so at what point do we need someone accountable. Maybe it's for approvals for certain classes of risk (like those associated with actual harm to life). It's also not lost on me that many human systems lack accountability.

I know what a gate is for. My question was trying to get you to explain the middle ground between the extremes. That it is hard to visualize/imagine is kind of my point. The UAC prompt is an excellent example of a potential middle ground that is definitely a gate but a near useless one.
