The AI naysayers will be similarly remembered was the point of my "useless information" post. I was surprised to be downvoted, probably because those doing it have an axe to grind and have poor reading comprehension skills. Surprising for Hacker News, but I've noticed every site is getting dumber at an alarming rate so why should Hacker News be the exception? If you're going to downvote me for disagreeing with me at least say why. It's in the HN guidelines

I was there. I remember people saying it, but this f*cking site wants to downvote me into negative for remembering it, probably because they are thinking of business computers. Everyone was on board with that. I'm talking specifically of home computers.
In the early 80's home computers were a technology of faith. Many thought it was absurd that many people would want computers in their home.
