- JumpCrisscross 1y ago> that would cause a tremendous drop in demand for the services the schaudenfreuden folks provide, hurting them as well You're correct. But it doesn't matter. Remember the San Francisco protests against tech? People will kill a golden goose if it's shinier than their own.

- JumpCrisscross 1y ago> If this goose is also pricing others out of housing market it's not entirely unreasonable It's self-defeating but predictable. (Hence why the protests were tolerated to backed by NIMBY interests.) My point is the same nonsense can be applied to someone not earning a tech wage celebrating tech workers getting replaced by AI. It makes them poorer, ceteris paribus. But they may not understand that. And the few that do may not care (or may have a way to profit off it, directly or indirectly, such that it's acceptable).
