This is a comment over there on the Aftermath article from some fucking asshole.
Alex
Technical writer·Yesterday
In the comments on Bluesky, there is the expected complaint about accessibility that has as much standing as a fish. Their statement (not even an argument) is real "ergo vis a vis concordantly" nonsense. Their ability to construct a cogent position seems to be based on reading half of a Philosophy 101 book, then giving up, feeding the rest into Grok, and having the garbage synopsis narrated by TTS at 2x playback speed while they're submitting a vibecoded 30k line pull request.
As a friend observed, when replies like this are the only opposing voice, that's when you know the original stance is right.
I have a friend who is blind and AI tools make his life easier. Alex the Technical Writer doesn't care about that, which is certainly his right. But he doesn't have a real argument because he thinks of himself as a good person. How could a good person be against admitting that the Bad Thing in his mind helps the blind? Bad things can't help needy people! So he makes up the cringiest shit ever written. Which the blind people didn't say or do. Didn't happen. I guess the pretend philosophy book he's quoting didn't have a section on straw man. Do these people think they won an invisible argument? He sounds like an asshole.
I don't know what side I'm on, but I'm not on that miserable fuck's side. |
