What I find interesting is that by Anthropics admission, an agent that can “build, ship and maintain a working software product” is only a possibility for 2030. They're accepting that we’re not there yet.

Those good hearted pharma companies always going for the rare diseases and saving little kids, bless their hearts.

Could you tell me how you brought immigrants to this and found them to be the problem?

In this case, simply cloning a repository containing such an executable is enough. This isn’t a common bug or a gotcha.

Although on Windows, the current directory is checked before PATH, unlike UNIX-based systems that require the current directory to be explicitly included in the PATH if that's the behaviour you want.

So for any repository with git.exe in the root, if you then ran another git command from a DOS prompt with the repo as your current directory then it would give the same bad outcome of running the git.exe from the repo.

I'm not saying that it's good that it's happening, but it doesn't seem like it's their bug to solve per se, it's just a feature of using Windows. Of course, they probably could work round it by parsing the PATH themselves and locating a git.exe that isn't in the current directory.

When an artist "steals" there are two paintings on the wall, I don't think the business secrets work that way.

I know some journalists say that we're living in the post-truth era and perhaps they're right in the sense that it's what the market needs?

We don't value right or wrong outside of the financial markets so much because there's not much profit to be made there. A politician doesn't need to know if their ally is ethical, only need to act according to the narratives. A piece about a company easily swayed by sponsorships and donations, or needless alarmism that keeps public mind away from real problems.

The current system we live in doesn't value the accuracy of the information and I think that's a tell on how badly the world is running.

Oh yes the classic problem of 'the west' always bettering themselves. If they would actually start focusing on the rest of the world, maybe the world would be a wonderful place. Right?

Or maybe, we should look at the problems in our society and try to make it better, instead of just shouting into the void about things we, as nations, can't and wouldn't be and perhaps, shouldn't able to change?
