The best way I have found to make sense of why some people are so enthousiastic to shill for AI, is to see AI as yet another product that preys upon people's insecurities. In this case it's maybe the worst insecurity of all: feeling like you're less intelligent than other people.
Taking that insecurity as the through-line, this kind of shilling makes perfect sense IMO. It's essentially a form of self soothing, saying "everyone is or will be using this, it's not just me!".
So Germany but the trains run on time.
Yes, but also cartel behavior. Those same 3 manufacturers have been found guilty of it in the past, and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if they were fixing prices again now. See this video by Gamers Nexus.
Oh come on what is this argument, other than a gross generalisation?
The THTR-300 served as a prototype high-temperature reactor
This was one prototype reactor, which by the looks of it may have been managed by some incompetent people. Concluding from this that nuclear power is inherently unsafe, is like saying air travel is unsafe, because the 737 MAX fell out of the sky a few times.

Also don't forget that the proposed wealth tax would essentially be nullified by interest on the remaining wealth in a couple of years. So this isn't confiscatory in any meaningful way, it just slows down the redistribution by a couple of years.
Developers have high workloads and managers are remarkably oblivious to sloppy work.
And don't think that 120% will grant you a raise either! Inflation will eat 5% of your paycheck each year!

Ava the AI BDR
Deleted your client's entire database because someone told them to as a joke (in an unrelated post on StackOverflow 11 years ago).
It's definitely this, but also shock and awe. Release everything all at once, but also not really everything, so there's a shitstorm of reporting with outlandish stories and ongoing criminality. The end goal of that is to traumatise the public into thinking nothing can be done, because everyone is both overwhelmed by the firehose of information.
