    It’s not just Linus though. This is the exact position of many devs all over the world, ones who are still doing a good job and have clearly not fallen into AI psychosis.

    I’m with OP here. There’s tons to hate about AI, for sure. But there’s also an extreme, people angry over things they have zero personal experience with.

      You don’t need to experience suffering to empathize with it.

      Listening to the stories of people who are personally dealing with the pushing of data centers into urban areas is heartbreaking and should be a deal killer by itself. Honestly if that doesn’t make you angry in the extreme that is very concerning to me.

      Watching people lose their livelihoods in a massive wealth transfer should be infuriating. The class warfare is out and plain sight and should feel intolerable.

      Watching scores testing decision making skills plummet at alarming speeds, education benchmarks erode, and young people get talked into suicide; all of these things do not require personal experience to understand.

      The writing is on the wall, I honestly can not understand reading it and not getting angry.
