You are correct about the way we dehumanize others on the Internet, but I think hackers have changed, quite a bit, since War Games.

Hacking, these days, isn’t just for the lulz. Hackers have a purpose, and that’s usually monetary or military (sometimes both).

Hacking crews, these days, run professional organizations that would make a lot of SV C-Suiters green with envy.
