"want to automate our jobs away", "Asmodai and team want you working in line at McDonald's", "You're a serf" all obviously fit that description.

Low-information, high-indignation rhetoric is exactly what we don't want here, so please don't post like this.

Fair enough, I'll temper the rhetoric.

It still seems you can make the front page posting these words as long as they're externally hosted. Or maybe it's the fact Anil is a bit of a celebrity:

  • Hey man, there's a world of difference between what's essentially a tweet (HN comment) and an article.

    If you wanna make charged statements, at the very least substantiate them. (To be clear: I don't necessarily disagree with you, but you gotta admit your language is emotionally laden and lacks substance.)

    • Thank you for the calibration.

      I've been seeing a lot of Anthropic folks talking (rather gleefully) about ending our profession recently, and it's getting on my nerves.

      I don't believe their timelines or unassailability. And even if our jobs do come to an end, I believe in work after work. I'm just not a fan of the almost smug assuredness or their apparent crusade against ICs.
