This is way too strong and narrow statement. Gleam is statically typed garbage collected language, closer to OCaml than Rust. Elixir if you like dynamically typed instead.
Just recently DeepSeek researcher in his post was saying that they need to get to AGI first, because if Anthropic gets there first then that brings a dystopia. Exact same argument was used to justify launching OpenAI (against DeepMind), and Anthropic (against OpenAI)
The real issue here is the preferred basis problem, not an infinity of worlds: a single state vector can be decomposed many ways, and the bare math doesn't say which decomposition counts as "the branches." Decoherence picks it out: once the cat is entangled with its environment, the alive/dead decomposition becomes effectively unique and stable, through ordinary unitary dynamics. No collapse, no consciousness (that's von Neumann–Wigner, not Everett). MWI does have an open problem, but it's a different one: the Born rule, i.e. why |c|^2 should count as probability when every branch is real. Also, the normalization is |c1|^2 + |c2|^2 = 1.
