This is actually "we will all pay really high taxes so we can enjoy a perceived safety net, those that work less than us can enjoy the exact same safety net, and crooked politicians can make out like bandits"

Cool that people get free stuff but at the cost of my hard work? Not unless I freely choose to give that stuff to them.

This has also resulted in "punishing" people for having the "wrong ideas" by publicly shaming them with partial truths just because they disagree.

It sometimes feels like everyone around is secretly working on behalf of the thought police and we're being coerced into believing one specific narrative.

You cut the line but still go through security.

And if not that.. healthcare then becomes monopolized.

Maybe extreme but what prevents that entity from becoming the decider regarding who lives and dies?

I hope you aren't missing the point. My position is similar to the author. I WILL take responsibility for the code I push to production, and rather than input a prompt and roll the dice on the outcome, I am strategic in my prompts, ensuring the LLM has the right context each time I I voke it, some of that context being accurate descriptions of what I want built, and I am in charge of ensuring it has been properly vetted. Many times I will erase what the LLM has written and redo it, by myself depending on the situation.

Replace "LLM" with "IDE" and re-read. The LLM is another tool. Of course tools can't be held responsible, the person wielding the tool is.

You won't be given a year's supply of medication.

You will be cursed with years of calling every pharmacy in town once a month to figure out which one has your medication in stock this time, and once you figure that out, you stay on the phone with them until you walk into the store to pick it up so they don't give it to someone else.

Why did you copy the dictionary's definition nearly perfectly, but then add "without logic"?

In many cases, the conservative approach to a problem is prudent because the old ways work whereas there is more risk and uncertainty with new.

That's not fear, it's wisdom.

Where does "providing a choice to people in tough situations" end? When is it wrong to terminate a life because you're in a tough situation?

Reading the article, I thought every positive mentioned is also in VS Code, but VS Code has a larger more mature community.

What drew you to Zed over VS Code?
