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.

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.
If you hate everyone here so much, why did you come back today? Further, why did you come back just to spew more negative, unhelpful comments that just parrot what you've ranted about already, rather than attempt to foster the "smart" dialogue that you wax poetic about?

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...
