My most favorite subgenre of AI stan is the "AI software engineer" [programmers aren't engineers, engineering has formal requirements like e.g. engineering ethics].
Their logic goes like this:
"LLMs can generate a TODO-list application that pretty much works and only has a few hundred subtle bugs; therefore—as programming is the hardest and by far most intellectually taxing occupation that a human being such as myself can strive for to be an expert in—they obviously will excel and far outshine any human at any of those other, lesser, activities such as writing or art!"

Designer enzyme enables yeast to produce custom fatty acids, reducing need for palm oil
Whether they are laundry detergents, mascara, or Christmas chocolate, many everyday products contain fatty acids from palm oil or coconut oil. However, the extraction of these raw materials is associated with massive environmental issues: Rainforests are cleared, habitats for endangered species are destroyed, and traditional farmers lose their livelihoods.

JavaScript engines zoo
This is probably the reason why certain JavaScripts do not run everywhere, because they are "optimized" on their engine again. In my opinion, this is a tedious tinkering as it was back then.
