Judging from your attitude the West is not a "corruption-free zone" as our politicians told us

More like a "corrupt free-for-all zone".

TLA+ is a high level, open-source, math-based language for modeling computer programs and systems–especially concurrent and distributed ones. An even better Three Letter Acronym?

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Will non-developers be able to build software using ChatGPT and large language models? Yes, if they can master "conversational programming". "All you do to me is talk talk"

IMHO... bollocks.
We are everyday fighting with vague requirements, people that can't express themselves correctly, people that doesn't have a clue about they actually want, etc. etc. etc.
Don't get me wrong, I don't doubt on the capacity of those systems to do it (well... I do now doubt about it, but that will probably improve). But I seriously doubt in the capacity of the "non-developers" to really manage to use it properly.
And I am really afraid of what it come out, because of the ego of many people thinking "of course I can". I would not try to build the fundaments of a building, but everyone think they could build software better than us.

It's simple: you just have to keep refining the instructions you give the computer until it produces the output you want.
Which is precisely the definition of "programming".

I have to say that the demo left me feeling heavily underwhelmsed. It's a solution looking for a problem, where better solutions are already possible for the problem it's meant to solve.

Unless it can project a live hologram of the other person (ala Star Wars) I'm not buying.

In a pre-press paper titled, "How Secure is Code Generated by ChatGPT?" computer scientists Raphaël Khoury, Anderson Avila, Jacob Brunelle, and Baba Mamadou Camara answer the question with research that can be summarized as "not very." Today in shocking news...

And yet... Record number of software security flaws uncovered in 2022[^]
Having seen the quality of the questions in the Q&A last years... the average enquirer for code of ChatGPT won't even think a second about using that code in production.
I see a new wave (or should I say Tsunami?) of @OriginalGriff "Crappy IoT OTD" messages incoming.

Inspired by the adaptable nature of organic brains, researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have introduced a method for robust flight navigation agents to master vision-based fly-to-target tasks in intricate, unfamiliar environments. It's all fun-and-games until it springs a leak?

A record 26,448 software security flaws were reported by CISA last year, with the number of critical vulnerabilities (CVEs) up 59 percent from 2021 at 4,135. And now we're all fixed up, right? Right?
