    Remember when they built a $50 billion server farm in my back yard to run a GUI IDE?

    I think your attitude toward AI in the abstract is pretty good, it matches my experience in tech, but also theres something much larger going on here

      That’s fair. A huge difference is how much money is behind the crazy hype machine, and how desperate they are to keep the hype going. Most actual tech people I know, work with, and are connected with in the field have normalized on tech usage. Knowing when to use it and when not to use it. It’s only the tech bros at the top who are still like “Yeah bro it’s totally going to get rid of labor bro we’re all gonna have androids who do all the work bro just trust me just 200 billion more dollars bro I promise”
