> how do we ensure that the people of the world have equality of access to these powerful new tools, and that capitalists don't monopolize it to enrich themselves and exacerbate wealth inequality?
Lol, the model is already locked behind a capitalist entity. It's already too late
Why do we still need to do all this boilerplate? I'm not even singling out Python here, I actually think that Codepilot being so amazing is kind of sad, clearly we shouldn't be needing to do all these things in 2022.
I still feel that we're overdue for some paradigm shift in programming languages. There's a nebulous feeling, probably informed by my amateurishness, that some tasks just shouldn't be this hard. Seeing the whole buzz around GitHub Copilot, which seems to confirm that 90% of the typing we do is useless, makes me think that there's another level of "semantic abstraction" (?) we're missing.
