Teen here.
The misinformation about AI is quite the same but one of the larger fears for us is the job aspect more than any environmental concern or the financial concern (which sort of checks out)
Essentially teens with artistic qualities genuinely wonder from what I can tell regarding AI (sort of asking why bother). Teens with programming hobbies feel they are gonna be obsolete in a few years.
The point to me feels different in that considering most HN users are millenials, they joined programming decades ago & some might be close to retirement/already retired, so sometimes I see a sentiment here of letting the next generation sort out with this catastrophe.
I feel as if the short term gains over long term sustainability while being immensely rewarded financially in a concentrated manner on such scale is quite saddening to see.
AI chatbots are scary as well. I have seen people as young as 13 personally seen talking to them & found them that they can escalate in whatever direction someone barely hints at.
Couldn't read the article because WSJ is paywalled & archive.today gives the Error: "Not Found

It would be a pleasure to answer any questions if anyone has for me.
- elpocko 9mo ago> most HN users are millenials, they joined programming decades ago & some might be close to retirement/already retired Millennials are in their 30s-40s. Baby boomers are retiring, and the oldest GenX are close to retirement.
- j-pb 9mo agoThe youngest millenials are still 29 this year. If they did a PhD they might not even have entered the workforce yet.

- Imustaskforhelp 9mo agoOops. Yea sorry about that. My intention with this was that HN users are 30+ (Millenials and Baby boomers and Gen X) and some of the HN users are baby boomers and oldest gen X who are close to retirement/retiring as you mention. I should've written it (or what was my intention) instead is that "most HN users are millenials, they joined programming decades ago & some HN users might be close to retirement/already retired" (I didn't mean that millenial population is retiring)
