Totally disagree, just like I think it’s completely ridiculous in the extreme to suggest that personal computers have failed to live up to the hype, represent a net negative, are mostly used for ill-intent, etc.
We've already seen that misalignment happen with consumer OSes, web-browser and ads, telemetry in cars, and a raft of copyright/DMCA stuff, all of which you've probably seen on HN before.
What makes you believe personal "AI" will escape the same influences?

Usually when someone says a phrase like "your computer is mostly for spying on you" or "inkjet printers are demonic tools to harvest human suffering", most readers will understand those statements to be hyperbole, a rehtorical exaggeration to make a point... Not something literal to become angry about.
also, pretty funny that you think I'm angry about some rando's hysteria on HN lol
