The number of "hackers" who think it's better for devices to be locked down by Apple because that keeps them secure (and freedom to install unvetted software is dangerous), and who think AI will replace us because we are all "statistical parrots" and just regurgitate what we read somewhere anyway is really astounding.

Also lots of "hackers" who measure success by how much money has been made, be it by a company or person.

I mean it may not be impossible to be a hacker and believe those things, but it should at least be a rare thing.
