This is not at all what I'm trying to do. This same essay is cross-posted on LessWrong[1] because I think ASI is the most dangerous problem of our time.

> This "we can't fix a bug like in regular software" theatre hides the fact that we can design better benchmarks, or accountability frameworks

I'm not sure how I can say "your intuitions are wrong and you should be careful" and have that be misintepreted as "ignore the problems around AI"

The word intuition here have power. Surely you must have noticed that vibe coding and intuition have a strong connection.

There are people (definitely not me) who buy 100% of anything AI they read. To that beginner enthusiastic audience, your text looks like "regular software is old and unintuitive, AI is better because you can just vibe", and the text reinforces that sentiment.
