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.

Unrelated but I'm curious about how someone like you and your opinion and belief on UBI, unions for computer security people, and how this alien intelligence future will look like if most people are out of work and can't support themselves with an administration that doesn't care to support the people living on borrowed time.

I get it, eventually the things industrialized and automated industries that us geeks helped bring forth with widgets in the manufacturing world was eventually going to happen to our own industry too. But the way it's being done, with private equity destroying everything we used to hold sacred, it just isn't it, my dude.
