    Not that it will matter in the AI future

    that statement makes so little sense I feel like Mount stupid does not give it justice .

      Websearch “transhumanism silicon valley”, and it starts making sense: Musk has faith that artificial general intelligence is coming, Soon®, and that it’ll replace grunt labour like programming.

        no it still doesn’t because unless that ai will code in assembly (which you could argue is a statically typed programming language with just one type , but lets not be pedantic) , it will still use programming languages , which means it will still matter if a language something is made is statically or dynamically typed .

        even with the assumption that AI will be able to efficiency code in assembly , lets entertain the exponential growth version of ai often shown in fiction , it will still not be worth for that super intelligence to write in assembly (except for what we humans would call fun or for small cases where its necessary like os headers etc) because a compiler will do it faster and likely good enough , especially as it will then be able to make a better compiler . it will also likely not want to spend time/focus to scan the assembly code which is another advantage to not writing in pure assembly .

        making that statement requires a complete lack of understanding how programming works along with an over"optimistic" view on the future of ai nya
