I agree with this sentiment.

LLMs are already so incredibly capable and will only get better and faster with time.

Learning a new programming language just feels redundant now.

Every time I see a post like this it somehow turns into a conversation about AI. Are there any studies on this? How much better are typed languages for LLMs. I would expect the amount of data and scaling laws to have more of an effect on an LLMs coding capabilities than the language itself.

The Korean gov’t employs small Korean AI companies to build bots thats endlessly scrape the internet and harass websites that post unfavorable content about Korea. They label it as “korean error news,” but the standard boils down to more or less “anything that speaks of Korean in negative light.”

This gives off the same vibes. But this is Korea. They will probably give up in a month or so and move on to whatever else they think will help make them rich overnight.
