Why does this misleading article from more than a year ago get posted repeatedly?

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46510073

This submission doesn't mention the publish time either, and it uses the link that hides a bunch of replies that debunk the article.

Might it see a popularity burst though, due to Rust's inherent advantage in AI augmented development? Being more deterministic makes it easier for LLM's to produce working code in it.

There is not such an advancement, Rust is made for dealing with human's mistakes. Chatbots can stop having such a mistakes and generate more terse formal specs instead.

Aren’t they trained on human code?

What am I supposed to say, they were trained on Martians' code?

Do I need to agreed with your statement that chatbot will never be able to write a correct C code without stupid runtime boundaries?

The question by @wookmaster isn't just valid, if we're to follow your argument, chatbots may as well skip C and write directly in assembly or machine code for maximum efficiency! You seem to put too much faith in chatbots that you forget that correcting AI mistakes in code is a major job now. Even the best coders use AI to only fill in obvious code, not to think on their behalf.
