No but you're claiming "if they all are investing X amount then these bets obviously must pan out". If you follow that rationale then it means that all bets that these company's make in the same space must all pan out. So if they don't all pan out then the fact that they're all making bets isn't a sound rationale for it being true.

As others have pointed out, investors notoriously have FOMO, so rationale actors (CEOs of big tech) naturally are incentivized to make bets and claims that they are betting on things that the market believes to be true regardless if they are so as to appease shareholders.


No, i don't claim that all bets must pan out - simply that most bets are made intelligently with serious intent.

that's the way i see this bet as well.

your take on investors is naive and largely incorrect - its the musical chairs theory of markets.


Kodak made a crypto coin. Where did that end up?

> Do you want to run a hypothetical exercise on how many they get right vs wrong? And based on that we can see if this is a "fantasy" or not?

There's also categorically a WAY easier way to implement this - which is to criminalize and enforce businesses who employ illegal immigrants.

Amusingly, a lot of rank and file on both sides ( and center ) of the aisle would not mind at all. However, somehow the political will in the upper echelons is just not there. Somehow.

Agreed - the laws are in place but not enforced. Raid a few meat packing plants or farms or hotels and the message would get out.

Because they aren't saying that.

They're saying "this is a very thoughtful way to approach orchestration for using AI coding agents". This experiment is profound not because it works or because its THE end game, but rather it's a novel approach worth testing...but so is Ralph AI.


> high quality code

What does high quality code look like?

> The code still matters.

How so?


Great questions. For me, high quality code is code that: 1) works (is functional, no bugs) 2) is secure (no security vulnerabilities) 3) is extendable (I can quickly and easily build new features with limited refactors)

I argue the code still matters because of these 3 reasons. If the code doesn't work, your product won't work. If its not secure, there's obvious consequences. If you can't build new features quickly, you will end up wasting money/time.


Not saying it's right, but boy do I have stories about the code used in <insert any medical profession> healthcare applications. Not sure how "vibecoded" programming lines of code is any worse.

Because that code is presumably working and the vibe code is probably not?

Honestly even if this wasn't vibe-coded I'm still a bit surprised at individual radiologists being able to bring their own software to work, for things that can have such a high effect on patient outcomes.

do you have evidence that all vibe coded solutions dont work? Because thats what you're implying.

If I wanted to prove murder, not negligence.

What you're getting at is basically the difference between probabilistic models vs deterministic ones.

waymo is also a probabilistic deep learning system

If this is all true (I don't disagree) than what is or should be the backbone of democratic life?

Source?

Some of these still exist, I don't get it? What dictates when a company is "dead"? Insolvency? Bankruptcy?

For example - Domo is still publicly traded and does $300M in revenue:
