Yeah... I had to quit reading after seeing the No True Scotsman argument about who can and can't form an opinion on the state of the robots. I don't have any professional experience but feel like I can see enough, through experimentation using the daffy robots, to see what's happening but my only formal software education was when I was in high school in the 80s so I don't count.

And why do all these conversations center around web apps and whatnot? I don't work on anything like that but probably know a lot more about virtual machines and compiler theory than your average web programmer.
