I'm really not sure why you're getting downvoted. It's almost as though HN readers are fully on the AI bandwagon and can't let anything bad be said about it. I assume this is the same crowd that also scoffs at any regulations in tech.

You were right the first time: You really don't understand why HN readers are downvoting the OP comment. Yet that didn't appear to have stopped you from spinning up this AI-bandwagon-riding, regulation-hating strawman to further entrench your hatred towards.
If you're a downvoter, why? I would love to hear why you disagree with my comment.
That’s not what a straw man is (it’s two words btw).

This is a known and often repeated trend in tech: make something under the guise of disruption, with no regard for safety or regulations. Complain that those things are a hindrance to progress and then spend billions and destroy lives permanently to eventually fix the problems when the regulators issue an ultimatum that professionals warned you about.

Commenting on downvotes is pointless, and it's even more pointless the earlier in a comment's life you do it.

I've seen wild swings in comments before based upon the time of day. E.g. mid-day upvotes, late day downvotes. Or vice versa.
