That is called whataboutism, and it’s really annoying how prevalent it has become on HN discourse.

Other things being bad doesn’t make it OK that this thing is and no one is saying that.

My argument was purposefully general, you’re the one who chose to bring it back to AI. Don’t argue in bad faith.
