          The general type being the type that pushes back against your bullshit? Yeah I bet you really don’t like that, huh?

            I want to give a better response to this because I think it’s important, assuming you decide to trust any of the words an internet stranger might say…

            I don’t mean this personally, but with respect to the topic at hand, I really just think you’re oblivious to one important thing, which is that we probably share more alignment than you imagine. There is the part of me that just wants to troll on the internet and “dunk” on people, but I also feel like I’m growing out of that in the interest of hoping there’s a way to use technology to collaborate with each other instead of cause more divergence.

            The point that I’m trying to make (and acknowledging that you’re probably not reading my other comments) is that your tactics seem to be one where you’re pushing against something that’s bigger than you and wasting more energy than what you’re gaining, likely at the benefit of the very thing you’re raging against. Of course, this is not a black and white universe, hopefully you are gaining something, but only you know if you’re operating at a gain/deficit.

            Nonetheless, I feel strongly that all of this anger and hatred toward AI could have a more eloquent approach - a “tai chi” sense of going with the current and then guiding it into something utilizing its momentum for more positive outcomes.
