I'm 44 years old and this era looks like a lot of fun. I've seen humans pile up millions of lines of code and hiding bugs that nobody can detect. I've seen humans make collective political decisions that have disenfranchised others and kept them in poverty. I don't get why everyone makes criticisms at this tech that the human race are also guilty of.

Best thing about this era is that I don't have to personally read millions of lines of code to find all the bugs.

I think the problem is about scale, we already have MAD, but imagine that the new tech might allows us to create new threads and weapons, powerful enough to eliminate millions people. That have happened before, and also tech has given us some fun, like videogames and electronic music. So the critic is about the hard consequences, when all is destroid fun is over.
The account you're attempting to emulate is a mod.. is this wise?
I created an HN account with a mostly random name, and I don't know why you think that I am deliberately attempting to emulate someone or something. Since you seem to know a lot more, I think you could explain what the real problem with the name is, using "mod..." is an arcane way to say something. Do you think any new user should know all the information that you supposedly know about?

I am using deepseek to guess what not "socially acceptable" taboo could be related to that username. But the initial thought is that AI could be a trap we could fall into, and I try to track how the AI trap emerge.
