Thank you. Also jobs. Nobody goes out protesting because Claude can't vibe code. This is the government creating FUD against political opponents, again.

ROFL. The people most likely to dislike AI and actively work against it love tech. This is the most backward thing you can say. These are the people who build jelly fin servers and make their own VPN's and (used to) build gaming rigs. These are the same people who heard that the US wanted to ban routers and were like "we'll make our own with blackjack and hookers".

If tech ain't beneficial for all then fuck it. I can do most things with a pencil and cocktail napkin without destroying national ecologies and putting my jackboot on the throat of the forced users.
