It... really couldn't? Step 3 in this fictional chain would never happen with a HITL. I honestly can't tell with comments like this whether folks have too much respect for AI, or to little respect for people...

What's "step 3"? I don't see step numbering anywhere?

Is... this comment also satire?

its tagged as satire at the very top of the page, first thing under the title (also, CVEs are numeric only, so the "LGTM" (looks good to me) and CVE "YIKES" is also a big giveaway, on top of ~all of the text being outlandish)

> its tagged as satire at the very top of the page, first thing under the title Not the first thing, it’s buried in the tags as grey on light grey on white.

> grey on light grey

That's not part of the satire?

Great write-up. Side note: interesting to see how many folks commenting did not get it being satire (even the title has LGTM). I guess it's time to rethink how sharp the HN folks truly are compared to the average non-tech person (not that I had any big assumptions myself). I'm curious about this recipe for chevre :D

By this point I’m not sure why everyone isn’t in “default satire” mode.

This is usually my default position, but apparently that “gas town” article was Real and Serious and Distinctly Not Satire, and I started to feel reality fragmenting underneath me.

(I know its a satire, but could be seen as an actual post mortem of the future incident) This report made me realize there's no place for humans, as it is right now, in the process of building software systems in the future. Reading this incident made me dizzy after few paragraphs because of the cognitive context overload and I lost track multiple times.

I mean, none of the software or processes in this hypothetical future actually worked. At a certain point, even the most normal of normal people will push back on shitty software when their bank deletes their account or their software controlled brakes fail...
