You're putting a lot of words in my mouth.
I shared my assumption.
I asked the question to get a real perspective from someone who was already sharing. I didn't know their answer before I asked and still don't.
Also I never said #2 was unreasonable. And I don't blame anyone for being fearful either.
But there is an anti-tech sentiment on this tech site, and I find ironic and disappointing.
being anti-ai is not being anti-tech; people have posted language/editor/framework wars here for literal decades, nobody called not liking PHP being anti-tech
