Future of programming and AI links

Four links I'm thinking about:

The Role of the Human Brain in Programming by Steve Krouse - I am super sympathetic to all of these points and arguments. Particularly the point that working on something 'from the bottom-up' informs and changes what you're thinking about. See also Max's slide: the goal informs the work, the work informs the goal.

God is a Parasite by Jason Yuan - I disagree with most (all?) of this one which I think makes it a good counterpoint to look at. Jason also has done a lot of work that I admire, and it's clear to me he's really wrestling with this stuff. He argues what AI's we're building are not tools but minds, and that their agency should be respected. I think they are tools - namely sophisticated interpolation and autocomplete - and that treating them as things with agency has potential to lead us to bad places. Seeing signs where there are none and following it down damaging paths.
