I kinda feel like this attitude, like “free market capitalism”, allows more bad things to happen with the potential for some unseen/immeasurable force to “correct” the environment once the Bad Thing is recognized and rationally dealt with. But there are probably better ways to avoid Bad Things that require only a little additional forethought, planning, and deciding ahead of time what sorts of things we’d like to avoid (oh no, regulation!).

Do we care? Is the podcast script timer from the article a Bad Thing? Are people actually hiring vibe coders for critical infrastructure?

I write really bad Haskell code sometimes without any AI assistance. Am I doing a Bad Thing when I create my own tools?

What are you intending to regulate here?

It appears to be happening right now in the US federal government.

To be clear, you're saying that people with no ability to reason about code are currently in a position to push unreviewed code into critical government infrastructure?

Do you have an example?
