There was no functioning government, no reliable electricity, no clean water
That’s one of the best articles on the potential issues with relying too much on #AI / #LLMs for programming https://blog.fogus.me/meta/LLMe.html

In which I try to piece apart whether or not a *particular* AI agent is doing something novel: running Datalog as a constraint against its own behavior and as a database to accumulate and query facts. Is something interesting happening or am I deluding myself? Follow along!
This is a thread of beautiful or interesting computer-y things I scanned at the Museum of Printing this weekend.
