Curiously, he talks about it specifically for AI programmers.
The article links to an oath drafted by a prof and his students, which contains some things that are vague or even naive.
It's mostly virtue signalling and a waste of time. "Do no harm" is simple, but now people feel compelled to write reams of nonsense. Getting everyone to agree on it would be difficult, but the only alternative is to ram it through. What would happen to anyone who then objected to certain provisions?
It would also make it impossible for many governments to staff certain projects, which would be a big plus. But they'd all be de facto or de jure exempt anyway, so what's the point?

We need a Hippocratic Oath for company presidents, specifically Brad Smith.

A clever phishing scam is targeting cPanel users with a fake security advisory alerting them of critical vulnerabilities in their web hosting management panel. CPanel. CPanel secure. Run, CPanel, run!
I blame Monday for that blurb.
"In addition to a well-worded email with little or no grammar and spelling issues..." <- They are getting clever!

The dwarf planet Ceres—long believed to be a barren space rock—is an ocean world with reservoirs of sea water beneath its surface, the results of a major exploration mission showed Monday. Anyone have Kevin Costner's phone number? We can send him to explore.
He's got experience dealing with these things.

Also unfit to work with from a programmer's perspective.
It's very specialized and most companies that offer PDF tooling charge a month salary a year.
Just printing a PDF document can be a daunting task (a few years ago, the only free option was by using Adobe Acrobat Reader according to several SO threads back then)...

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
