In my experience Rust and Go are both opinionated languages with strong types which makes them work well with agentic coding.

That is indeed a very annoying part of many AI models. I wish I could turn it off.

Already is in Nevada.

While I'm certainly no supporter of casinos, I think that online gambling is a difference in kind.

Given the extent to which the copyright system has benefited corporations and publishing companies to the detriment of individual authors and the general public, I'm constantly surprised that it still has many apologists.

As we don't live in a world where the rich patronize the arts some sort of copyright system is the only way authors and artists are gonna make a living doing their thing. ...though I suppose proponents of Universal Basic Income (UBI) would disagree, but between the abolishment of copyright, the institution of UBI, or a 7 year old child being hit by 7 lightning strikes and 7 meteor impacts and surviving; the latter seems the most likely.

What do you suggest instead? I.e. what would benefit individual authors more?

People imagine poor author having their thing stolen rather than poor author that corporate takes IP from by contract agreement (and if you don't do that, you don't get the job), then abuses for 70+ years

I usually relegate the agent to code, I do the git part/put the patch together. Git is an excellent tool to review the changes granularly and find potential weaknesses.

I've come to the point where, if the agent makes a wrong assumption about the code base with fresh context, I consider that the code is not obvious enough about it's intent.

I think you're right broadly, but when that wisdom is applied to e.g. how many dildos will be thrown at WNBA players, I don't know how much actual value is created.

That… that actually seems like something which society should want to predict with more precision so that we can hire someone with a net on a stick.

It's also a real world event that can be influenced by the existence of the bet.

If homes can be bought and sold, then there is a market. Is your are taking about a society without money, that is a different discussion entirely.

Anyways, there are many studies showing that rent control is bad in the long term for housing affordability.

The unfortunate answer is that the US seems to be very bad at fighting regulatory corruption which allows small parts of the market to buy laws which give them a moat. Rinse and repeat over the last half century and you get to the situation we're in.
