I am very much the 'average person' compared to the HN demographic ... average people aren't picking/choosing what murders to celebrate based on the title/industry the person is in. Like I said in another comment, I won't shed any tears for this guy, but vigilante murders come for LLM creators or tech automation firms, I'm sure that'll be "terrorism"
Yes! So many people here are doing every mental gymnastic to avoid the realization that they know they are actively participating in the creation of suffering, and have simply just been able to ignore that reality up till now. A consequence for a company head is the most terrifying thing possible because what happens if it's them next, completely ignoring the real possibility that they can decide to stop making humans suffer! If this CEO stopped the ai denial project and brought the denials into industry standard levels he wouldn't be dead. If you're scared for you own life, simply stop being a blood sucking ghoul and try improving people's lives for once.
Reminds me of the statement, "ain't no song called Fuck the fire department". Stop participating in oppression and murder and people will stop hating you.
I don't know anyone "celebrating" it, but I also don't know anyone even remotely sad about it. I think the average person is somewhere between "well, what did he expect?" and "oh no! anyway..."
Bro, I've just got to tell you. Everyone i knows is celebrating it. All of my close friends have been harmed by insurance madness, a machine built to extract money from the creation of human suffering, that's what denying claims for profit is. It's extracting money from pure pain. It's about as comically evil as you can get before you hit actual genocide, which just gives up the money part.
Everyone i know is celebrating it. Our view is that these rich executives cannot be allowed to oversee the vast generation of suffering for a profit that only they get to enjoy, built on a suffering that only others have to face. All of us would settle for a share of the profit, but they won't do that, so what can we do besides share the suffering. His family is experiencing a mere fraction of a fraction of the suffering he has overseen and is responsible for. His family wasn't responsible for his actions and I'm sorry for them. Why would i be expected to defend a mass murderer though? You seem to be forgetting the effective murders his company are committing against the most vulnerable populations. I'd love to get some real stats but i personally know the death toll is at least 1.
