  • That’s all normally the case, but we already saw evidence from leaked documents that people in the Russian government have paid for misinformation campaigns to influence elections, out of state funds. That’s a pretty significant ethical line to cross.

    Running a sanctioned bot farm out of a data center that shouldn’t have one - wouldn’t be that much of a stretch, from what we already have evidence has been happening in recent years.

    But in principle, I agree with you. It’s unlikely.

  • Any efficiency increased during the actual coding phase, the study authors find, is “absorbed by downstream constraints in the production process”; as “the code review process significantly increases in length, pull requests are more likely to require revisions, and reviewers leave more comments.”

    Yep. Almost like actually understanding problems and computers was the job, and not just typing.
