Because if you’re working on anything of note, you will need to sustain, scale, and operate that software while hopefully designing for it at a high level. LLMs are not suited for those problems, at least not anytime soon
I’m looking forward to when the job market recovers, but I’m not looking forward to the prospect of a significant amount of future demand being in the realm of having to scale and maintain the AI slop code that’s being generated now.
Ok, but why should I even care about what was on this hypothetical blackboard? Do you have any real world examples with business or technical significance where this "cope with it, somehow" approach to mutability is a clear win?
The "world" can just as easily be conceived of as being composed of discrete immutable facts rather than global mutable state. Either way, I kind of don't think that unfalsifiable ontological premises should be an important factor in system design.
