AI didn’t steal jobs or creative work of most normal IRL people, so same as with what happened to artist years ago, they had to navigate the crisis without them, the same is happening to programmers now, people IRL are not exposed on a personal level to as much of the dark side of AI business, only environmental and educational arguments land with them, and they’re not as effective when it gives them access to seemingly free art, info and computer skills they never had

This is how i understood them personally, they don’t see it as their war, just as a war, hopefully with free subsidized system going away they’ll take a harder stance like the rest of us
