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?
