Me, I

And there is the root of the problem.

At the heart of almost every pro-AI comment on HN is "Here's what AI does for me."

Put bluntly, "I got mine; fuck everyone else."

I do enjoy fucking, but I don't think I have the emotional bandwidth to fuck everyone.

I think you have misunderstood my comment. I don't know very much about how other people are using AI, or what effect it's having on them. It's much more important what effect it's having on them than what effect it's having on me. But all I can contribute to the conversation is what I'm personally able to attest to, and the approaches that I've found helpful or unhelpful. Hopefully those experiences and those approaches are of value to others — that's why I'm participating in the conversation, after all.

I notice that you don't seem to be participating in the conversation in the same spirit, though — your comment seems to consist entirely of personal attacks, none of which are original or insightful, predicated as they are on a fundamental misunderstanding of the post you're responding to, and it lacks any contribution of your own experiences or techniques. I think you probably should not have posted it.

Precisely. The parent is responding to what is an argument about the social, ethical long term effects of a technology by effectively saying "don't care, I personally benefit so whatever".

Ironically this kind of response just illustrates the article's point but I doubt the parent has enough self-awareness to recognize that.
