Just as the initial influx of do-everything large language models (LLMs) have been advancing along with smaller and more specialized AI constructs, the same could happen to Microsoft's coding-specific GitHub Copilot. Coming soon: a Copilot for writing Copilots

His entire argument boils down to "there aren't as many Rust developers as C++ developers." His lack of real-world experience (he indicates his youth by saying he was just an intern at Microsoft) shows in this conclusion.

Take the "Moral Turing Test" yourself to see whether you'd trust "artificial" moral advice. "You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you."
Which isn't really much, is it?

I don't think an AI will want to kill us, it will just be the most logical option to acomplish a goal

I think it's a conspiracy to be declaring that all code should be stateless. What's up with that?
I always knew I was a rainbow farting unicorn. I just have to keep working on it to sell them on the job title.

I'd say quite to the contrary. Code should go from one consistent state to another consistent state in atomic steps of (conceptually) zero time. Event driven state machines are easy to comprehend, reliable, efficient. Error/exception handling is much easier than in other programming models.

Don't really disagree at all... I guess that's just a different state-having-version of stateless than some might use.
