A programmer generates code 100 times slower than they type. Does this change for vibe coding?

"I don’t think humans are formal systems. That’s just one working assumption some philosophers and AI researchers adopt." - ChatGPT 5, Aug 2025.

From my morning philosophy chat with ChatGPT - yes, I really do talk to ChatGPT!

Do you think you are a formal system (aka a computer)?

Bitcoin Threat Level Monitor from Valis Labs
A proposed app to monitor the likely quantum safety of Bitcoin. (This is a mockup. It would take a handful of days to complete.) We monitor addresses that should not change very much.

Is Bitcoin ready for Quantum?
Who would be interested in meeting to discuss next steps in a post quantum Bitcoin world at Bitcoin2025.

Some questions for an Artificial Super Intelligence or an alien visitor.
Do we have free will?
Is the brain a computer or a quantum device?
Will we ever abolish war?
Is there life after death?

Some questions for an Artificial Super Intelligence or an alien visitor.
Can we cure all disease?
Can we clone dinosaurs?
How should we run planet earth?
Will we soon live forever?

What questions would I ask an Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI), or perhaps an alien if one ever turned up on CNN for an interview?

Is there a theory of everything (TOE)?
Are we living in a simulation?
Will we live on Mars?

Looks like I'm the face of the Qualcomm Institute Innovation Space! This was us building the World Mobile Antenna for deployment on an aerostat.

Quantum Vibe Coding
Vibe Coding Means I wrote no code, I did not even read it. I just give it the objective. If it gets it wrong, I tell it the problem and ask it to try again. I use Cursor as the front end and usually Claude 3.7 as the default AI.

Here at SXSW talking about Communications, Quantum Mechanics and Bio Computers. Here until Thursday. Who else is around?

Vibe Coding Quantum Gravity: I asked ChatGPT 4.5 and Cursor to implement my garage quantum gravity Orch-OR experiment on the IBM cloud quantum computer and it said yes! and wrote the code. I ran out of IBM credits but there is certainly a departure from the simulation at short time scales.
