If this causes us to nip in the bud a new wave of clip bait it'll be worth it

Software 2.0 relies on validation

If your code base doesn’t have verification & controls that are as good or better than your senior dev, you’ll get slop
A large pink slide fills most of the image, displayed in a bright glass-walled auditorium. A presenter stands beneath it on a red circular carpet, wearing a dark T-shirt and dark pants, holding a clicker. Slide title (top, in large red text): “The Problem: Most Codebases Lack Sufficient Verifiability” Subheading in smaller text: “Humans work around incomplete infrastructure. AI agents cannot.” The slide is divided into two rounded pink boxes: ⸻ Left box: “What Humans Can Handle” A bulleted list in red text: • 60% test coverage (“I’ll test manually”) • Outdated docs (“I’ll ask the team”) • No linters/formatters (“I’ll review it”) • Flaky builds (“I’ll retry”) • Complex setup (“I’ll help onboard”) • Missing observability (“Check logs”) • No security scanning (“We’ll catch it later”) • Inconsistent patterns (“I know the history”) ⸻ Right box: “What Breaks AI Agents” Bulleted list with each line marked by a red “X”: • No tests → can’t validate correctness • Outdated docs → makes wrong assumptions • No quality checks → generates bad code • Flaky builds → can’t verify changes • Complex setup → can’t reproduce environment • No observability → can’t debug failures • No security checks → introduces vulnerabilities • No standards → creates inconsistency ⸻ At the bottom in a wide pink bar: “Most organizations have partial infrastructure across the eight pillars. AI agents need systematic coverage to succeed.” Tall windows behind the stage reveal greenery and modern architecture outside.

People have been voting /against/ warmongering, and such its bad for LGBT ppl to be associated with that.

I think the point is that Nvidia is inflating its profits through various circular agreements, and that the way its customers are funding their purchases isn't sustainable (aside from companies like Microsoft).
