It's because the purpose of engineering is to engineer a solution. Their purpose is to create profit, engineering gets in the way.

How do you create profit?

Reason went out of fashion like 50 years ago, and it was never really in vogue.

More like once per quarter

The OG grift, FUD and extortion money. But call it a military industrial complex.. The Devil's Playground was an eye+opener

LLMs designing PID loops?

My point is the code for feedback loops is architecturally simple: when reading is wrong correct.

By boosting the accuracy and frequency of the reading you can get pretty good results.

But that has little to do with LLMs, or LLM generated code.

Many people have this potential but it doesn't necessarily materialize or evolves. That's fine, that's okay. We'll always have Paris. The trick is to be fulfilled, not renowned.

How will this pressure add up and bubble to the sociopaths which we collectively allow to control most of the world's resources? It would need for all these billions to collectively understand the problem and align towards a common goal. I don't think this was a design feature, but globalising the economy created hard dependencies and the internet global village created a common mind share. It's now harder than ever to effect a revolution because it needs to happen everywhere at the same time with billions of people.

By things like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_Intelligence_Act

and: https://www.scstatehouse.gov/sess126_2025-2026/bills/4583.ht... (I know nothing about South Carolina, this was just the first clear result from the search)

To be clear - the sociopaths and the culture of resource domination that generates and enables them is the real problem.

AI on its own is chaotic neutral.

Why not both? It's not this industry, it's everything. Fuck Jack Welch, fuck the Chicago School.

Yes, it is both. If something is forced top down as a productivity spike then it probably isn't one! I remember back in the days when I had to fight management for using Python for something! It gave us a productivity boost to write our tooling in Python. If LLMs were that great since the start, we would have to fight for them.

If the agent would be able to update the model that would be educational for the model, noone else.

Do not underestimate the importance of the distribution. Debian 13 is great, fedora too. Ubuntu snaps are a plague.

> Ubuntu snaps are a plague.

I picked Linux Mint way back when, before snap was a thing, so I can't lay claim to foresight. But I was really glad when they announced that they were disabling snap by default (though of course allowing you to install it if you choose to). There days, Mint is what Ubuntu should be — and nearly all Ubuntu-based packages will run unmodified on Mint too, so if you want to run an Ubuntu version that's sane, then Mint is what I would recommend.
