I am really starting to dislike how half of the Hacker News community are behaving.

This depressing miasma of pessimism is taking over, and it's absolute garbage.

I don't think many of you like tech as much as you like the current punch card phase of it. You're content to live and die in the world as it is now and don't want to see it transform into something dramatically more capable.

The point isn't to write C++ and Python until you retire. That was never the point. The point is to reshape the world into something more useful to humans, to cure diseases, to bring about limitless happiness and entertainment, and to satisfy everyone's needs.

It's disappointing to see so many of you bitten with this bug.

It feels like the chicken and eagle parable, with many of you content to stare at the ground because that's where you believe you belong.

We've got alien intelligent sand and it's transforming the whole world. I think it's the most exciting thing that has ever happened to us.

edit: flag, flag, flag. Nothing is 'safe'.

This is not the hacker ethos.

This is not the entrepreneur ethos.
