tl;dr - "I will dismiss this because of the time I've been spending in a pro-AI bubble".

I never needed to be in a pro-AI bubble to dismiss bullshit; I wrote my capstone Philosophy paper on AI and Existentialism back in 2014.

I am dismissing the neo-luddites because they are stupid and wrong, not because I am in a pro-AI bubble.

  • There is emotional bias and stubbornness in nearly all of your responses in this thread, the very same traits you lambasted HN broadly for in another comment. Rather than calling people, "stupid and wrong", why don't you make your case?

    If you don't want to be bothered to argue your points, and this place truly chaps your ass to the degree it does, why even waste your time commenting at all when, according to you, there's a more fun place with bigger brains that-a-way, as far as you're concerned? points

    I mean, it takes more energy and effort to be angry and annoyed than to just move on and leave us luddites in the dust.

    • It is pretty emotional seeing a place with people you respected and learned from for so long, where you could rely on for the place to find the newest and most interesting things happening in tech, where people in the know discussed the technical aspects; to now neo-luddites everywhere bashing shit they don't understand, ON A FUCKING TECH FORUM; like THE tech forum.

      I feel like I'm living in some kind of bizzarro world now when I read anything AI related on HN. It's insane.
