    So they’re ruining the original artistic vision, dumbing down literature despite existing whithin the greatest age of information, all while possibly ruining the original message and meanings of the book. Tech bros need to walk outside, touch grass, feel the warmth of the sun on their skin, and maybe try talking to an actual human for once in their life.

      I’m proud of my demon spawn

      She’s a tech savvy electrical engineer who spends her working hours mucking about with semiconductors.

      When she’s not at work, which seems to be pretty much all day every day, she’s out on remote hiking trails with primitive camping gear.

      From this old man’s perspective, she’s living the ideal balanced life.

        Computer engineer here. I’m similar, spend a lot of my time mucking w/ semiconductors & such at work - I wouldn’t quite say CompEs and EEs are “tech bros” though. Tech savvy? Sure! But tech bros I like to think are the people who are more interested in monetizing tech than actually knowing how to use it.

        That said, I most certainly consider myself a demon spawn.

          Yep. As much as I know, those of us with the know how aren’t actually doing these shitty things, it’s always someone else who takes a sledgehammer to a screw.

      I dunno - if A.I. is suggesting tech bros launch themselves into the sun, I could maybe get behind it.

        But if tech bros launched themselves into the sun we would loose… Uhhhh… Genuinely I can’t think of anything they contribute to society

          I guess I closed the tab, so I forget exactly, but something to the effect of “Simplify the following text for a 5 year old” then pasted the parent text inside double quotes.

      This is about finding “solutions” for stupid people that can then be used to extract information and wealth from them. That’s a capitalist problem. Tech bros are merely one flavor of snake oil salesman.

      It’s not the tech bros. It’s clients asking for this shit. Tech can do anything and as it progresses it will continue to be able to do anything .

      It’s the Clients misusing $$ has and always been the real devil here.

        I always assumed that tech bros were the client, not the developer. They’re the frat bros of the tech world. They don’t know or care what a technology does. They’re just going to slap it into anything and everything and hype it up like crazy to make that tech bubble money before it inevitably bursts.

      Or alternatively get walled off in their own part of the internet where they can only harm themselves.
