In this video, the host conducts a comprehensive first look and performance test of Meta’s newly released 30-billion parameter dense language model, Muse Glimmer. To rigorously evaluate its coding capabilities, the creator reuses a multi-stage development plan from a previous episode where local AI models were tasked with recreating a classic arcade game called “Solar Fortress.” The model is run l…
Can We Trust AI to Code Without Human Oversight?
Modern Software Engineering (Article:13:41) - Published 2026-08-11 18:00 - Discovered 2026-08-12 13:41
In this video, Sam Newman from the Modern Software Engineering channel examines whether human oversight remains necessary for AI-generated code. Despite the widespread adoption of AI coding assistants, industry data reveals a productivity paradox: while AI has dramatically increased the volume and size of pull requests, overall software delivery throughput has actually declined. This slowdown poin…
