“tooling problem” makes it sound trivial, its a tooling problem like building a quantum computer is a tooling problem. Ie something that probably won’t be solved in our lifetime

If you told me five years ago that AI would eventually be generating novel math proofs, I probably would’ve said that it’s not happening in my lifetime. And yet here we are.

I don’t know what it looks like to get to fully provable code, but I don’t see that it’s fundamentally impossible in my lifetime. Especially depending on scope. Will an entire operating system and everything on it be fully proven correct in my lifetime? Maybe not. Could the authentication stack for a product be entirely proven correct? Sure. I can’t believe that.

You should try AI out, it’s a lot more capable than it was when most people formed their opinion a few years ago.
