Maybe it's how blunt this comment is that gets it downvoted, but I don't disagree.

No, it’s because it shows either a simplistic or needlessly confrontational view of the world.

Unless you’re independently wealthy (as some in HN are), you have to balance your morals, your views of how things should work, feeding your family, and recognizing that you may not actually know everything.

It’s easy to sit back and advise others that they should die on every single hill. But it’s not especially insightful, and serves mostly to signal piety rather than a well thought out view.

		Piety? To who? Simplistic and/or confrontational doesn't mean wrong, even if you don't like the way it's presented. Just because a comment is short, sharp, and to the point doesn't mean the author hasn't thought out why that's their view. No one knows everything, that's certainly why I'm on hacker news. I'm here to learn and expand my knowledge. Unfortunately a lot of people on here would rather driveby-downvote than have a discussion to find out why a person might have an opinion like that expressed by the OP. I tend to abandon account when/if I get enough karma to be able to down vote. I'd rather not have to temptation of dismissing someone that way. It's quite liberating... Is it worth my time to respond? No, move on; yes, let's discuss. Maybe they'll change my mind...

		I am pretty sure a lot of horrible things were performed by rather regular folks with similar logic, don't need to invoke some WWII nazi extermination guard reference at all. Slippery slope, death by 1000 cuts and other synonyms describing exactly this.

I’ve noticed anti-AI stance gets downvoted on HN (and any anti-authoritarian comments, for that matter)
