Something very cool - this office block in Newcastle is due to be demolished, so a bunch of artists got access and used the whole thing as a canvas. Six floors of art installations, with DJs scattered around.

It was Berlin as f**k. Seeing offices twisted like this was a weird mental flip.

every once in a while someone asks us "why can't you just review the slop code as if it were human written" and let me tell you that we have tried it, and you cannot, actually, do this, for the simple reasons that humans do not write code like that

human-written code follows a progression and exhibits a model of the problem domain. the model may be wrong, the progression may be wrong, but line 1 and line 10 are related to each other.

LLM code has none of that. it looks like code, but does not have the structure of it. there is no progression of thought, there is no model of the problem domain, and lines 1 and lines 10 bear no relationship to each other outside of statistical likelihood.

the question thus asks, "why can't you just eat the dogshit as if it were a burger cooked by a human"
