Eventually there will be an incident with bad software at a hospital or bank that leaves some people dead or broke.

Then regulators will take things seriously.

Which is why the medical device software industry is so heavily regulated after the Therac-25 incident. Oh, wait, it's not.

i could see this being the thing that pushes the US toward licensing softeware developers like other engineering disciplines.

gotta get a PE to stamp your LLM-generated code in sensitive environments.
