The field has never learned to distinguish provenance — where an artifact came from — from warrant — why anyone is entitled to rely on it. Authorship, a passing test suite, and a completed review are routinely mistaken for the second when they are only ever the first; libraries are the rare exception, where warrant is actually constructed and amortized across users who never read the source. LLM-generated code inherits neither comforting story, and the discomfort that provokes is not a new problem but the oldest one in the profession, finally felt without the anaesthetic that provenance usually supplies. That discomfort is worth welcoming. -tags: [meta] +tags: [ai, tech, nonfiction/philosophy, education] status: Working model -confidence: 72 -importance: 3 +confidence: 60 +importance: 4 evidence: 2 -scope: average -novelty: moderate +scope: broad +novelty: idiosyncratic practicality: moderate -confidence-history: [10] +confidence-history: [10, 60] history: - date: "2026-08-09" ---
