It is really disappointing how much critique it gets, people complaining about stuff that has been bad for 15 years, but apparently the same people who were annoyed by it never contributed to fix it. I guess open source mentality is something else.
Also: while it is released, it is not yet marked as recommended. So I needed to upgrade manually. I assume they do this to get some feedback from early adopters. So I think people should either just wait or contribute.
Apparently they had not been contacted.
I think cue might be close but to be honest, some practical examples would have been helpful to get a better impression of the point the article is trying to make.
Personally I find rust projects very inviting. Figuring out the amount of unsafe code is easy with grep/rg (to a certain degree), the project structure is pretty standardized, etc. All of this makes even a complex project relatively easy to start with. At the same time, the language is pretty usual (C-like and readable). I understand people like it, and writing "written in rust" is a good call for those people, I guess.
"Written in JS" would communicate something else than "written in D" or "written in C++". It communicates a lot of things implicitly.
But the main point here is that this is something generated in a chat-like product. The task and expectations and level of control are completely different. I am not saying it is impossible something like this comes up in a model even with good training data, but even in this unlikely case, this would be easy to catch with a filter.
AI is not search. It is a likelyhood-based text generator which can be useful for finding good terms for search and a lot of other uses, and while people use it for search, the mode and UX is completely different. That is why people use it as such!
If a Restaurant cannot provide proper hygiene, it will be forced to improve or be closed if noticed. And for Grok (and others) hygiene is in question due to such incidents. Society needs to discuss metrics for AI chat hygiene so we can have consistent law enforcement to shut down services like these when they are not hygienic enough.
Besides, CO2eq are often wrongly measured with nuclear energy, ignoring building emissions and effect on the water temperature in rivers (every summer more and more plants need to shut down because of this), etc. Even if this would be done right, there are again and again longer periods where Germany exports energy to France because their reactors are often in maintenance. In the end I would say it is always a bad idea to rely on only one technology to a large degree. Only a well done mix makes you resiliant.
