When we said we wanted ARM platforms to support a standard for booting, we didn't mean like that.

I think the real headline here is "we boot with UEFI" and not the specific EFI binary they chose. If systemd-boot runs without a ton of patches, it's likely that grub-efi and the EFI kernel stub will run too. As far as "arm supports a standard for booting", this is good news.

Are they really gonna cut the power to the AI that operates your car, essentially bricking it? How about your iPhone/Android? How about the entire $5k surveillance system monitoring your house using entirely AI?

Yes they are, just like Nest Thermostats, early kindles, Nintendo Wii and 3ds, etc. Stuff gets turned off externally all of the time

"Well, I just won't get one that has AI baked into it!" What if there isn't a choice?

Then i'll cook toast over an open fire like the pilgrims did.

I don't see any circular reasoning in my premise.
1) AI is supposed to make developers more productive
2) As a result of this, more code is produced. I would assert that much of this code is of poor quality.
3) The case i bring up, Microsoft (a vocally pro-AI company), doesn't seem to produce software any faster then they did 10 years ago; also, the reliability of their software does not seem to have increased. therefore, it's evidence that the benefits of "more productive software developers" seem to be overblown.

How am i begging the question? where is the circle closed?

a single developer can 10x output with ease,

Only if they don't care about the quality of their output, and they're not reviewing the code nearly as much as they say they do. Code review easily takes as much or more effort then writing the code does in the first place.

If every AI using programmer is so much more productive then they were 5 years ago, why is Windows still a buggy mess (possibly more then ever)? why does GitHub go down constantly? Why has the cost of software not plummeted? Microsoft is one of the most pro-AI companies in existence, so therefore their output should have improved immensely, no?
