That's a situation for a government program, not insurance. Insurance is for situations where it's unlikely that you'll need a payout.

Of course people today have to deal with the systems we have, but I'm talking about your hypothetical "future" scenario.

Well of course nobody hates the individual dogs personally. It just means the general sentiment of "this place would be so much nicer without all this shit".

Read the article, it works the other way for them.

But robot dogs don't have any of the issues that typically cause people to hate dogs, such as pooping all over the sidewalks, or barking loudly in an apartment building.

They should've just picked Kotlin.

It also encourages good basic habits, such as not making a variable mutable unless you specifically need to (val is way more common than var, the IDE makes them very visually distinct).

I had programming (Pascal) in school in a random-ass country in Europe 20 years ago (I was like 14).

This has been widespread all over the world for a long time.

But a lot of the crap you have to do only exists because projects are large enough to require multiple separate teams, so you get all the overhead of communication between the teams, etc.

If the task gets simple enough that a single person can manage it, a lot of the coordination overhead will disappear too.

In the end though, people may find out that the entire product, that they are trying to develop using automation, is no longer relevant anyway.

Typos in programming aren't really a thing, unless you're using the shittiest tools possible.

It's definitely possible, but such an AI would probably be good enough to take over every other field too. So it's not like you can avoid it by choosing something else anyway.

And the disruption would be large enough that governments will have to react in some way.

Well the practical difference is that money is something people actually use, where as crypto is mostly something they just hope to resell later to a higher bidder - who will only buy it because they hope to resell later to an even higher bidder.

As long as it doesn't end up eventually bringing down the entire service.

You can also do micropayments without crypto.
