Why would you do that
sparkling arch, sparkling fedora, and diet arch
Alternating beans in one grinder willy nilly? Do you have any issues with retention?
Arch teaches you to exercise muscles that would otherwise atrophy. Understanding how your system is put together, how to diagnose and fix problems, how to handle upgrades safely. It becomes just as easy as any other OS and you're better off for it.
Extremely funny. There's a similar situation in math where almost everybody is implicitly using one set of axioms (ZF/ZFC) because they're highly expressive, intuitive, and not known to be inconsistent. There's a hypothetical scenario where somebody discovers a proof that ZF(C) is inconsistent, rendering the vast majority of mathematics "invalid." But nobody is really concerned because on a purely intuitive level, you should be able to transfer the vast majority of mathematics to a different formal basis without issue, since it's all generally done at a different level of abstraction anyway. You'd have to somehow accidentally exploit the inconsistency of ZF(C) to get bit, which is unthinkable. ... Unless you're an LLM, I guess.
That doesn't follow. What I think you mean is that by defining the constraints so rigorously, you've basically solved the problem yourself. But that's exactly the point. The LLM isn't the problem solver, it's the execution engine that does the wiring-up and the ticking of boxes. The easy part, arguably, sure. But still considerable effort that can be saved, and that effort may be better spent on the problem-solving + constraint-defining stage.
Mandatory disclaimer that this is not a pro-AI post. I also don't agree that this setup works, anyway. It's a classic Bob Martinism, the idea that writing good enough specifications makes the implementation irrelevant; it's the type of idea that is allergic to reality

Any software born after 2025 should be assumed LLM nonsense until proven otherwise. The days of "there's a working proof of concept so someone must actually have put some thought and effort into it" are gone.
It's dithered and possibly smoothed and upscaled, not necessarily AI
It would be trivial to add online only drm with a killswitch to physical media. If that's the problem, discs aren't the solution. What we actually need is legal protection for consumers.
