The article is about only one side of the solution: using AI to make it easier to work with code. I think the other side of it is more important: making software simpler so that pe…

First, AI is not just a tool like other tools. It's much more random and complex, which makes it very different from other tools. You can't simply say that it's useful. How useful …

It might be a good thing that companies kill games, actually. I want Non-free Software to suck as much as possible to give people more reasons to use Free/Open-source Software, whi…
