Well-hinted fonts such as Consolas are indeed very rare.
I think I've only found Liberation and Hack to appear decent on standard density display. Roboto Mono is nicely shaped but blurry. I think Noto Mono used to have hints but dropped them. It was hours spent trying out different fonts only to ultimately go back to msttcore-fonts for me.
It's way beyond dictation. Medics I know (fresh postgraduates who used LLMs to help write their R code for statistical analysis for their research) are starting to treat it as one of their peers for domain reasoning, e.g. for discussing whether the conditions for a heart transplant are met. They're indeed in the "wow, this thing is human-like" stage, just not in the "let's delegate to the super brain, and then rubber-stamp the result at the end if it looks good" one we seem to be in... perhaps yet.
This is the crazy part with LLMs. It knows much more than you as a single user will ever realize, as it only shows the part that matches with what you put in.
I was building a tool to do exploratory data analysis. The data is manufacturing stuff (data from 10s of factories, having low level sensor data, human enrichments, all the way up to pre-agregated OEE performance KPIs). I didn't even have to give it any documentation on how the factories work - it just knew from the data what it was dealing with and it is very accurate to the extent I can evaluate. People who actually know the domain are raving about it.
Your experience may be valuable, and in fact made me think, but I also think the brashness of framing everything in the "adapt or die" ultimatum is unnecessary and off-putting.
I don't think they were appreciating that HTML could be read unrendered. I think they meant that it was up to the browser to render HTML with sensible but unspecified or otherwise user-specified styling (the browser is supposed to be a "user agent", remember?) before web designers started aiming for pixel-perfect control through CSS.
Maybe I didn't look hard enough, as I was put off by the pervasive absurdity of it, but I don't feel like I gained anything at all from watching that film.
