I don't think those assertions about AI development necessarily hold. And I think it'd be a depressing future if we can't ever have anything new or better that wasn't popular in the training set as of November 2025.

I wrote about some of my thoughts with Zena and AI here: https://zena-lang.dev/blog/2026/09/languages-for-the-ai-era/

Yes, we're building a sad world. I'm glad you noticed. Until we get LLMs with online learning, training data will dominate.

    What is the point of sarcastic, passive aggressive comments like this?

      I don't think it's particularly sarcastic. Its bitter, of course, because the world we're working towards kind of sucks. I'd like to opt out of it, but it's being forced on me.

      The best I can do is understand its edges and try to find some advantage that leaves me well off enough to stave off the worst effects.
