(Don't worry, I know I'm rowing against the tide with this comment. The AI people have decided to destroy the commons for a few more millions on top of the billions they have already been given. It's a shame.)
I have not hand written a single line of code in months on my side projects.
Obviously I am also interested in discussing the latest model. Your claim that I promote anything or otherwise don't engage here in good faith is both misplaced and against the site rules.
This went on for many rounds, during which I tried to steer it toward what I thought was the source of the bug, while the model mostly kept adding instrumentation and logs.
In the end the cause was not what I suspected, but reasonably close to it via another mechanism.
