Perhaps "entirely because of taste" is an over statement. It is in reality probably a mixture of freshness and taste, the former being related both to food safety and taste. Nevertheless, living in a world of sea food abundance (and others), if you can not prepare a certain item of food safely without torturing an animal and yet still do it, then you are not doing this for survival but ultimately validating a tortorous means of cooking as a means to reach a certain pleasure. I myself, despite not eating lobsters, lambs, goose liver etc for this very reason, still for instance consume eggs knowing that chicken farms can practice male chick culling where I live. So it is not my intention to point fingers at anyone but just pointing out some observations and some of my inner contradictions on this issue.

this seems like a research project rather than a main line policy change:
"Just to clarify... Windows is NOT being rewritten in Rust with AI.
My team’s project is a research project. We are building tech to make migration from language to language possible."
Ofcourse the end goal remains the same: try to produce systems that can be maintained by a significantly reduced number of programmers/software engineers, which can only work if AGI was actually achieved in near future so that the senior coder gap produced by this approach can be filled by AGI coders. If not, I think we will enter an era of tech where first software engineering will first become highly undesirable (due to reduced number of entry level jobs) and then achieve a god-like status because there are not enough senior software engineers to support all the tech infrastructure build on AI coding agents which are not fully autonomous because they lack/can't learn critical reasoning skills/software experience unlike entry level coders which can.
lol lets fuck all other computational sciences so that people can generate cats drinking whiskey in robes de chambre.
Lobsters (probably) don't understand the concept of other animals feeling pain but we can. Lobsters don't have any other more merciful methods/tools in their disposal for survival whereas humans do this entirely because "it is more delicious that way". This is the right context.
Even the comparison "lesser of two evils" is not in the right context because it becomes more evil to the degree that you understand the other side's suffering.
Between the Trump voter immigrants getting deported and anti vaccine people or their kids dying of preventable diseases, I don't think US ever before had any period where "it won't happen to me" was falsified so rapidly.
this is just cancer trying to do its job and spread. Should be cauterized.

If you remove Russia, this is a strip that covers almost half of the remaining land mass. Not impressed.
