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.
> bashing shit they don't understand, ON A FUCKING TECH FORUM; like THE tech forum.
Or: they actually understand the tech, and see its limitations. Unlike wide-eyed neophytes and zealots.
Tech forum doesn't mean "uncritically accept and love any and all technology".
Oh, and they don't find the need to sling insults like monkey sling feces just because someone doesn't agree with them.
"Or: they actually understand the tech, and see its limitations. Unlike wide-eyed neophytes and zealots."
I'm sure you super qualified rando's on HN know and understand the tech and know its limitations better than the Google engineers actually making the stuff.
Real ripe coming from a guy who can't even refactor a few lines of code correctly with an AI.
I couldn't roll my eyes any harder.

Yes, we know, you've said that a few times already.
You could foster that high-level dialogue you seem to value so much by trying to better articulate your view so that the plebs understand, kinda like I suggested just there. Ya know, "be the change you want to see in the world" and all that, but okay...
