Oh, you bet that my goal is not to give the AI users a pat on the back. I want them to know my unfiltered contempt for their unfiltered contempt for me (and anyone like me who still works with their hands).

for the record the fact that I'm radically anti-AI also doesn't mean that I'm wrong that over the long term average it is a force that creates compounding debt and unmakes communities

		I totally understand that you wouldn't get it if you'd never seen the kinds of things people say about non-AI users (writ large) and thought "they mean me". I've been told I'm insane, retarded, a megalomaniac, or simply extinct. People I once respected are trying to convince the next generation not to learn, not to gain skill, not to build community. People with as much logic as a heap of bat feces tell me confidently that code is "over". Now if I was an AI I'd be very polite about this, but I'm a human so I say they can go fuck themselves.
