The rules are simple:

- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

Sorry, I don't follow. This may sound like snark in writing, but it's not meant to be: who is where in what? Who isn't a developer?
You are starting your point by saying you are perceiving a lot of developers advocating for gen AI. I am saying I don't see that many actual, professional developers doing so, I actually see a lot who don't, and I also see a lot of "not developers" who do. Yes, the AI bros are very vocal. They also don't represent "developers".
Well, now we're at the point where we both only have anecdotes and I'd have to take your word over my memories from numerous discussions over the last years. While artists are actively protesting, for non-devs it looks like developers are, in large numbers, at least okay with AI. That's probably what DevilsPanties is observing. Hence the comic.
Developers have had easy employment for a long time, and it's only beginning to turn to shit.
We simply aren't used to protest a lot. It's starting though. Look at the video game developers starting to unionize, for now it's still making news when they do.
