It's transparent to large-enough LLMs given enough resources. Which is the thing that was always true. The difference now is that the level of resources is lower, so we're finding a bunch of things it wasn't previously economical to find.

But the cost still isn't zero. On top of that, the same LLMs are now generating enormous volumes of new code, which both nobody has verified to that level of exaction and nobody has even considered how it interacts with existing and other new code.

This I can agree with, and my perspective would be that we have theoretical solutions with no ergonomics, and rely on unproven (as in formally proven/validated) mechanisms. WASM + capability passing is enough, but the WASM layer is still built on an OS or runtime that is not proven and you'll have a heck of a time trying to build a product on it

I think narrowing the scope of this statement would better support your argument, as it is easily disproved in its current form.

Oh yeah? slides baton Pick up that can, Clanker.

Jokes aside, I do want to see the first news of AI going out of its way to acquire and make use of actual currency and hiring a meat proxy. I don't even care what for, can be making paperclips.
