  • @krnlg @solitha Therac-25[1] predated most of the problems: the problem is that Therac-25 isn't universally taught in CS classes!

    [1] the accidents happened from 1985, but the Therac-25 dates to 1975 and the software was written by one dude using PDP-11 assembler who may well not have understood race conditions.

    Mind you at this point I don't even really know what I'm trying to say any more, it's more a primal scream in elongated word form. I didn't mean to spam you folks notifications quite this much, sorry.

    All I'm saying is, we engineered nukes and machine guns, napalm and white phosphorus and ethics exams never stopped us. I know it's easy to group all that as Military but it's pretty cross-discipline I think.

    I do agree about software eng, Therac 25 comes to mind.

  • @soph Interesting: do you have a citation for vibe-code failing legal checks? No issue if you don't, I can hop on Google and find it, but this would be the first I'd heard of it (most of what I've heard is that LLM output is uncopyrightable, not that it violates someone else's copyright).

    The reason I ask is that I'm aware of corporate contexts where it's being used and if the courts are leaning towards declaring them copyright violations that could have significant implications (declaring them non-copyrightable probably less so; in practice most companies protect source code as trade-secret because it's hard to prove provenance in a court-of-law... Or by moving so fast that a competitor exfiltrating an out-of-date chunk of source isn't super useful or would require the competitor to also have the hardware / architecture the code "lives" in).

    We have the wrong balance, is all I'm saying. Not that science is wrong, far from it. Not that we should sit in caves loving each other while we die young either! 🙂

    We're an immature civilisation flailing around with power we don't know how to handle. Our philosophy is way behind our science, and we're ruled by bad people who take our science and use it to ruin everything.

    Feels like we're already living in sci-fi but I guess that's the power and purpose of fiction!

    The Green Party of England and Wales has today announced that its membership has surged past 100,000 members, the highest in the Party’s history. This marks over a 45% increase since Zack Polanski was elected Leader of the party last month. The news comes as the recent polling shows Greens on 15% nationally, their highest-ever figure, and just two points behind both Labour and the Conservatives. The announcement comes just one week after the Greens announced they had a bigger membership than the Liberal Democrats. Since then, it has been shown that the Liberal Democrats’ membership is actually just 60,000, and the Greens have grown an additional 17,000 in a week. Green Party Leader Zack Polanski said: More than 100,000 people have now joined the Green movement, that’s 100,000 people who believe politics can be honest, fair and hopeful again. When I was elected Leader last month, I said that we’re not here to be disappointed with Labour but that we’re here to replace them. I was serious. Because while Labour talks about change, people can see in their weekly shop, their utility bills and crumbling services, Labour are offering more of the same. The Greens are the only real opposition left in British politics. Standing up for fair taxes, a liveable planet, and a future where compassion and courage matter more than corporate interests. People are understandably disillusioned, but we are here to make hope normal again. Under Polanski’s leadership, the Party has seen a wave of new members, driven, in part, by growing frustration with the other parties’ failure to tackle the cost-of-living crisis, the climate emergency, and the collapse in trust in politics. The record-breaking membership figures follow the Greens’ recent electoral success in local and parliamentary elections, alongside growing national visibility from high-profile media appearances, including Polanski’s BBC Question Time performance, which sparked widespread praise online. Polanski added: This milestone shows that people are ready for something new. The old two-party system is broken. The Green Party is growing because we speak to the real challenges of this moment. Because we still believe that politics can be a force for good. The message is simple: if you want courage, integrity and hope, come join us. The Green Party is now preparing for major autumn campaigns focused on fair taxation, and the cost-of-living crisis, as Labour scramble to present another austerity budget. #ukpol #GreenParty
