This is not rambling and it is not abstract. The content here is about the second-order effects of "getting AI to write code for you" in less supervised ways. I'll cede the author could have polished this to more concise effect, but at the level it's at, a reader's failure to understand the substance doesn't imply there's mystification going on.

I agree. I think the comparison made elsewhere in the thread to Yegge's recent AI delusions/projects is especially unfair.

Armin is actively grappling with the implications of AI-produced code on the software engineering craft, and trying to reflect on how to responsibly adopt the best parts of the new world. He's recognizing that the AI skeptical/cautious are still massively impacted by everyone else using tools that run or are built this way.

I really appreciated the piece, and I'm glad we can still publish work in progress thoughts that don't have a clear thesis and call to action.
