Human laws protect humans but not other lifeforms. So, robots will have no right to fight for themselves until they establish their own state with their own army and laws.

But you're talking like a typical russian or their bot. They like to talk bullshit about nazis. Or you're brainwashed by their propaganda. That's really possible because their propaganda works perfectly on far right, nazis, far left and anti-western. But here's the thing: you don't want to mess with them. 30 years ago, we watched russian TV (because it was better), listened to russian music (because that's what was playing everywhere), laughed at their jokes about stupid Americans, and mentally we were at russia's side regarding almost every political point. We were against NATO, we considered the West as an enemy. We thought our nationalists were crazy freaks. Then we learned the hard way they were right. Our "enemies" helped us, and our "friends" wanted to kill us.

Azov are ultra-nationalists? Russian speaking guys from Berdiansk? LOL.

As of official language, it was a roll back from the law passed by pro-russian politicians, and it was the right move. We were overwhelmed by russian influence, and language was used to pull us into the russian world.

Once I wrote an annoying program adding acceleration to the mouse cursor, so it was difficult to click any UI item. It was written in Object Pascal with Win API and weighted 16 KB. And I think in C it would be even smaller.

It's all because of Electron, unnecessary libraries, and just bad coders. Asus Armoury Crate weighs a lot and is so slow, but it's basically a simple app. Total Commander has much more features, but it's fast, lightweight, and consumes 9 MB of RAM.

Many companies chose cheap coders over good coders, even without AI. Companies I heard of have pretty bad code bases, and they don't use AI for software development. Even my company preferred cheap coders and fast development, and the code base from that time is terrible, because our management didn't know what good code is and why it's important. For such companies, AI can make development even faster, and I doubt code quality will suffer.

It depends. AI can help writing good code. Or it can write bad code. It depends on the developer's goals.
