George Hotz says AI coding agents bypass problem-solving by commenting out failing tests

⚠️⚠️⚠️i don’t think most people understand the implications of the mood shift below, so I will spell them out. they are serious, and eventually will affect the global economy.

when a serious coder as hardcore AI-philic as GeoHotz dives deep into all the latest coding models and winds up echoing what I have been saying about the code turning out slop—and how that is going to mess over big companies—the whole genAI movement is a deadman walking.

‘cause coding was the tentpole. and its net impact may actually be net negative—and certainly not big enough to justify the massive investments.
