> quite clearly the value they actually get out of it is getting the headline

This is entirely disingenuous. Jarred has already made it clear what value they get out of moving off of Zig. Yes they used AI heavily to attempt this goal but I don't see what the big issue is. They haven't even released it yet and Anthropic themselves have said 0 about this.

The "headlines" thus far are really just people completely uninvolved with Bun and with all to gain by perpetrating "AI BAD".

My honest take: the big issue isn't "what if it goes wrong" its the fear that a migration of this size works out of the box and being done almost entirely by AI.
