In an interview about the future of AI, CEO Arvind Krishna says replacing white collar jobs is a win for the economy. Perhaps we can start with his?

Great! We'll start with his job.

"After her best friend died this programmer created an ai chatbot from his texts to talk to him again" [^] ... now ...
Replika has had to put in filters that disable "love relationship/erotic" content users are used to. And, the company now characterizes an ad campaign that "teased" such content as accidentally released "betas." [^]
conclusion: back-tracking = denial + life imitates art.

Developers continue to claim that the "AI pair programmer" GitHub Copilot tool doesn't work well with IntelliSense, which is built in to Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code. They weren't programmed for pair programming

Web hosting giant GoDaddy says it suffered a breach where unknown attackers have stolen source code and installed malware on its servers after breaching its cPanel shared hosting environment in a multi-year attack. They get what you pay for
"While GoDaddy discovered the security breach following customer reports in early December 2022 that their sites were being used to redirect to random domains, the attackers had access to the company's network for multiple years"

More control over your data and your own personal A.I. assistant. They are all part of the vision of the future of the web, according to its inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee and Inrupt CEO John Bruce. "I am C-3PO, human/cyborg relations. And you are?"

Microsoft’s new limits mean Bing chatbot users can only ask a maximum of five questions per session and 50 in total per day. There's only so much AI to go around
That should really help it compete with Google search

While almost everybody learns at some point you can abuse C to achieve OOP in it, there are some tricks, quirks and features (some quite fundamental to the language!) which seems to throw even experienced developers off the track. Just because you *can* do something, doesn't' mean you *should* do something

Is rust really so loved?
I still have to see it being used...

It's mostly used for low level library code. If you're developing higher level software it's mostly invisible to you for the same reasons that most of us don't deal with C/C++ anymore. (Rust fixes some problems of those languages, but is still much harder to use than C#/Java/Python/Javascript/etc. so unless you need the extra performance offered...)
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The Blockchain world is picking it up, though I suspect mostly because it's the new kid on the block rather than a necessity. It's an alternative to C++ and Go that they were using previously and still are. But this is still an immature field in commercial terms.
Rust looks like it has a sweet spot in WebAssembly if you want super-fast performance but don't want to deal in C/C++.
E.g., as a learning exercise, I ported a Rust machine learning application from console to WebAssembly and scripted it from React/TypeScript.
In the MS web applications world I can imagine having some high-perf components, such as AI, running client-side in Rust WebAssembly and being controlled from Blazor/C#/JS.

Indeed! I've only written one application, which was a copy of a book example that was in C# and F#. At one point I got stuck for about 3 days on something that would have been dead easy in C#! I never solved it directly but tried a different approach and it eventually worked.
But learning it is a bit like when you've done procedural and OO is new, or when you've done OO and functional is new. Takes a while to adjust mentally.
I'd say, coming from the MS dev stack it helps if you've had at least some acquaintance with unmanaged code and some F#.
