Not true. China is definitely adopting AI more universally than western countries, and I have friends in China losing designing jobs due to AI. They remain optimistic as (1) the society typically doesn't blame the technology advancement (2) they switched to an AI powered content creator (fortune telling and meme videos) and continued to make money
> In countries like China (83%), Indonesia (80%), and Thailand (77%), strong majorities see AI products and services as more beneficial than harmful. In contrast, optimism remains far lower in places like Canada (40%), the United States (39%), and the Netherlands (36%).
Correct. As someone who maintain a 16-year-old C++ code base with new features added every day, The status quo is the best incremental improvement over deep copy semantics.
There are better choices if everything is built from scratch, but changing wheels from a running car isn't easy.
Nope. It's only true when all your code use safe subset/built upon a perfectly correct unsafe base (which is inevitable in a project like Chromium) with correct usage. Otherwise a single misused external call with unsanitized value can ruin all of your security guarantee.
