Magical human verification technology is called "your own private forum" in conjunction with "invite your friends"
Until your friend writes a bot. Funny story, when I was younger I trained a basic text predictor deep learning model on all my conversations in a group chat I was in, it was surprisingly good at sounding like me and sometimes I'd use it to generate some text to submit to the chat.

Relieved to know I'm not the only one who grepped for that. Thank you for making me feel sane, friend.
is it a reference to something?
Instead of realistic ones like "Loading assets" and "Reading file", they would give humorous nonsensical ones like "Reticulating Splines".

I don't see what the value of this would be. Why would I want to automate talking to my friends? If I'm not interested in talking with them, I could simply not do it. It also carries the risk of not actually knowing what was talked about or said, which could come up in real life and lead to issues. If a "friend" started using a bot to talk to me, they would not longer be considered a friend. That would be the end.

You'll never win this battle, so why waste feelings and energy on it? That's where the internet is headed. There's no magical human verification technology coming to save us.
Fatalism will also not fix anything. But I suppose death comes for us all, yes? Why do anything at all?
Gemini CLI and Codex are open source anyway. I doubt there was much of a moat there anyway. The cool kids are using things like https://pi.dev/ anyway.
> I doubt there was much of a moat there anyway. There is _a lot_ of moat. Claude subscriptions are limited to Claude Code. There are proxies to impersonate Claude Code specifically for this, but Anthropic has a number of fingerprinting measures both client and server side to flag and ban these. With the release of this source code, Anthropic basically lost the lock-in game, any proxy can now perfectly mimic Claude C…

To feel something. To resist something bad. To stand for what is right. Do those sentiments mean nothing to you?

I assume we're heading to a place where keyboards will all have biometric sensors on every key and measure weight fluctuations in keystrokes, actually.

Yes, if it was made for human comprehension or maintenance. If it's entirely generated / consumed / edited by an LLM, arguably the most important metric is... test coverage, and that's it ?
Unit testing is much much harder when you have functions spanning thousands of lines and no abstractions. You have to white box test everything to ensure that you hit all code paths, and it is much more expensive to maintain such tests, both as a human and LLM. I don't think this can be ignored just because LLMs are writing the code.
Scrolling through a 3k line test suite with multiple levels of nesting trying to figure out which cases are covered is a fucking pain in the ass.
