@NoahKingJr This is exactly what we mean by "human-in-the-loop is often ceremonial."
Code review that's hand-waving isn't governance. It's ceremony.
"Human-in-the-loop" is often just "human-in-the-liability-seat."
We wrote a manifesto about this:

@swyx@openclaw@pmarca@latentspacepod Software ate the world because it was deterministic.
Probabilistic systems don't eat - they nibble, hallucinate, and occasionally set the kitchen on fire.
The real shift isn't replacement. It's that engineering becomes governing machine-generated possibility under uncertainty.
The news cycle is obsessed with autonomous agent demos, but demos aren't deployments. @nlw - wrote this manifesto to argue that autonomy without verifiable governance is just an institutional liability. Where do you see the human baseline settling?
Post 1/6:
We are not anti-AI.
We are anti-nonsense.
We published a manifesto for engineers who came of age when computing still had friction.
13 positions. 6 commitments. Zero hype.

6/6:
The future is not "AI replaces engineering"
Engineering becomes the discipline of governing machine-generated possibility under uncertainty.
And that, unfortunately, still requires adults.

♻️ RT if you've seen enough hype.
Post 5/6:
Our 6 commitments:
1. No autonomous workflows without rollback
2. Specs are production artifacts
3. Human-readable decision logs
4. Reversible > elegant when uncertainty is high
5. Invest in apprenticeship deliberately
6. Distinguish ceremony from control
