In a discussion at Meta’s inaugural “LlamaCon” AI developer event,
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg shed light on
the growing role of artificial intelligence in software development
within their respective companies. Nadella claims that up to 30 percent
of Microsoft’s code is now written by AI.

Note the "up to". You've been had by a Breitbart headline.

 
So, you're suggesting that we shouldn't be concerned because the number might be 28 or 27?
 

    “I'd say maybe 20 to 30 percent of the code that is inside of our repos
     today in some of our projects are probably all written by software,” the chief exec said."
                                                               ^^^^^^^^
Apparently, we've all jumped to the wrong conclusions.

That's not a reference to vibe coding. He chose
his words carefully, and we did not notice the word
was not "AI".

Now it does not matter what the percentage is.

We need clarification, on what his repos are full of.

I thought the word Python was a little strange in this diatribe.
Is there a binary code generation step ?

Maybe there is a language lawyer in the audience, who can
circle the squares on this plumb.
