Why would anyone care who Paul Graham hangs out with?
Is that a joke?

HTML/CSS? Anything UI is unnecessary verbose, and full of boilerplate code. [edit] also any interaction with storage / database isn't fun either, unless you use some ORM frameworks, and then you have some even bigger problems.
So the output of this company is websites? It's not 1995 any more.
History doesn't repeat itself,
but it definitely rhymes.

AI is a too and can be useful at times. But amount of hype is unjustified in my opinion. Ergo, I am getting a feeling that there is some kind of elite conspiracy going on.

#1910k lines added daily or generating 10k lines, of which only a fraction makes it?
Either way, extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence and from that one visible tweet without an account I remain unconvinced.

I've done that, occasionally, though through deterministic means, i.e. code generation tools. If you know what you're getting it's no big deal. If you don't, it probably is, but not in a good way.
If it's actually true and the result reasonable, I expect ~7-8 KLOC out of those 10 to be adequate and necessary tests, and roughly 4 out of those 12 h a day to be waiting for tests to finish. I also expect static analysis tooling, linters, ast-grep and so on get a lot of use.
