I get it, but the anguish of people who were paid dramatically less and treated dramatically worse than software developers whose livelihoods are being deliberately harpooned by the software business is not "sour grapes." I'd expect the software culture to be tolerant of the upper class being being indifferent to that anguish, but I see people around here all but dancing on their graves with no real push back. I think y'all generally do a good job with this place but frankly, the utter lack of consideration for the people most affected while being quick to make sure they don't get too touchy about it says everything there is to know about SV culture: all the talk of ethics and fairness get thrown right out the window the second they start to conflict with the bottom line. Fortunately American culture on a whole seems to be following suit so at least it won't seem weird. I don't think I can even passively participate in this culture anymore. I bid you well.
It's fine that you don't like it. It's odd that it's such a popular opinion on a site frequented by "hackers" and "disruptors". Why is this opinion more prevalent on posts for synthetic music generation and not other synthetic output? Why does synthetic music generation stop you from making music the old way? Are you upset that a business model that is already dead will be pushed further into irrelevance?
