I'm glad that a term for this exists. It's always seemed so silly to me that someone would think that a group of people would all conform to the same opinion.

Some of them are the same.

It's a Venn diagram: there are two camps and there is no doubt some overlap because the number of people involved. GP was obviously talking about the overlap, not literally equating this with two specific people or two groups that are 100% overlapping.

So they’re assuming the existence of somebody to be mad at without direct evidence?

No, they're applying statistics.

The set of sane developers and developers who are completely ignoring security considerations are disjoint.

You only get an overlap if you ignore words in the original comment.

		I mean... that could be a little "no true scotsman" at that point, though. I think the most useful interpretation of the previous post is Set A is "the set of developers who appeared sane before the arrival of AI agents" and Set B is "the set of developers who are completely ignoring security considerations".
