Biggest WTF news I've read today. I'm not a web dev so this doesn't affect me, but this is bizarre.

We get a closer first look at what's around the corner for AI coding tools, and make Bun better for it

This incredibly popular tool is now going to merge with an AI company and shift gears to be turned into some forced AI hype machine. Yipee! Exactly what all the devs were hoping for! /s

I have officially lost the plot on what's happening here.

These statements can sum up most of what happening. Companies are always trying to make number go up. Ai is the new fad and they feel that if they don't use Ai, their number won't go up as much as their stakeholders expect it to. To not look bad to their stakeholders they jam in Ai anywhere they can fit it, but they don't know what Ai is or how to use it. I believe this is the case where the how to use it is known however it is a shit tool that codes badly and does not actually understand code, just what is the most probable token to output next.
