Oh no :((

Rust’s emphasis on “reliability” makes it a great target for AI

What?! Aaaaaaahhh! This makes me want to scream. After so many years of C++ misery and increasing frustration with it, and looking into various alternatives for years, I found that Rust is the lanuage which brought me back to actually enjoying programming. If they really ruin it with LLMs now, I don't know where to go anymore in terms of programming languages.

this excellent sneer from Anatol Ulrich

That reply is indeed excellent.

Is it supposed to be funny or something? Does he actually believe it?

Or: does he even know what it is?

This seems like people writing a paper about swinging crystal pendulums, trying to figure out the important question: are the crystals on our side?

Wow, how did you manage to figure that out?

Ugh. With this, and the recent articles about car makers collecting location data, and the multitude of news about car makers integrating LLMs, it seems that cars are going the same way as TVs, i.e. everything on the market is constantly violating privacy while also throwing ads in your face, and there's no good models left to buy that don't do it (to my knowledge). Wondering if there will be any good options left when it's some day time for a new car...

Shows up like that in the local (non-US) version here too.

And this would have been such an easy way for Google to show a little bit of (at least symbolic) resistance to everything going on...

Maybe your monitor was trying to protect you

Yep, I'm certainly not claiming that Windows is better at it these days... (Possibly unpopular opinion: Windows usability peaked with WinXP.)

Thanks! I uninstalled it and things appear to work normally.

I like to use -- in plain text too! LaTeX user high five...?

Although I read somewhere recently that some people consider usage of em-dashes as a sign of AI-generated text. Oh well.
