    Do not stop the war against techbros simply because we can’t settle a perfect, concrete, legal definition of them.

      If I don’t know what that means I’m fighting against, I won’t be fighting against “techbros”, not even using that term. I might still fight against specific things they are doing…

        in this particular context; Someone, typically an investor, who is convinced that their “tech” of choice (AI) is the future, despite the well documented cost and not-so-long-concerns of pursuing said “tech” (ie Winning the “AI Race” whatever that is), to the determent of well being of the environment and/or humanity.

          OK, if it is intended mainly as a description of investors and other “business” enthusiasts, then I agree with fighting against what they want.

            Investor Enthusiast, but yes… Also, Companies aren’t people, their CEO and Board of Directors are. And those would also qualify.

        Id say the “bro” in techbros is more derogatory in this definition… like a techflog perhaps.
