Your emotion isn’t invalid, it’s merely bad, assholeish, brings shame upon you. But it is “valid” in the sense that the reader of your comment can see that you are, at least, sincere in your gloating at another person’s despair.
It's not the despair, it's the turnabout. Reading proofs containing the language that I mentioned seemed to suggest that the ideas were trivial to the author in a way that implied their superior intelligence. Now AI has come along and has, by way of counterexamples, shown theorems to be incorrect in devastating (maybe "trivial") ways. The shoe is on the other foot.
Yeah I think it's weird too. But tech really does amplify narcissism because it makes us very independent from people and community. So it's really not surprising that half the people in this thread are more concerned with manufacturing discovery than they are with having a cohesive society.
I’m also a human expressing genuine emotion. Why is one more valid than the other?
