I just looked it up and it sounds like there is no point in a person wanting to play chess against AlphaZero right now because other engines have surpassed it. I don't know that much about chess though.

I have always given the research credit that it may just be highly counter intuitive but it has always seemed rather obvious that drinking poison is not part of optimal longevity.
The least shocking thing is for new research to come out claiming no amount of poison is good for you.
I quite enjoy drinking a few times a year but pushing 50 there is nothing that makes me feel as bad as even a few beers the night before compared to getting up and going for my morning 60 min walk without.
Calling it "poison" is not an honest description of it
That "poison" is present in fruits, and there is even evidence that we have evolved to eat fermented foods, containing said substance (which doesn't get metabolized in the best way, sure, but not in the worse way neither).
UV rays are also "poison" and also essential to normal life. Oxygen is literally toxic to several life forms on earth.
Other "poisons" present in food are cyanide for example. Vitamin A is also very damaging at high quantities.
I don't completely disagree with you that the risks have not been discussed enough but to me what is much more important is we have absolutely no structures in our society to deal with these risks.
Not only do we not have the structures but we also have no ability to create them. If we did we would have already created them.
Instead we are going to go with the tried and true method we always use:
"What does this button do??" Then push the button and see what happens.
One of the structures we do have is to raise the issue and criticize it through discussion, which is why I often bring this up. A structure of intense and criticial discussion is directly counter to the capitalistic tendencies that have made this software possible. Since almost no one is offering a critical opinion, the people that do already provide some friction and realization against the indiscriminate use of this technology.
"According to Wittgenstein, understanding is not just a matter of having the right information or knowledge, but also involves the ability to use language in a way that is appropriate to the context and situation."
The amusing thing to me is the article just made me think of the people in the 80s that would argue rap isn't music but just a form of noise and how rappers aren't even singing!
I actually don't understand how someone thinks we understand understanding well enough to write this article.
I feel like I live in the Twilight Zone because to me data visualization with a VDOM seems much smoother than without like in Svelte even though data visualization is supposed to be a strong point of Svelte.
As someone who has only really got up to speed with React in the past year, I can't understand why people hate on React. Much of the hate has to be residual hate for Meta.
Svelte to me seems like a mess. $:variables seems like an absolutely terrible idea. Maybe it is a good idea if you are a genius but I assure you I am not and can do absolutely confusing and crazy things with $:variables.

I'm not sure where the people you are hearing from are coming from, but I can tell you why I personally hate on React.
It has nothing to do with VDOM or its underlying tech, it is its design.
React gets treated as if it's a framework but is just a view library that gives you the ability to create components.
However, even that ability is rather lacking compared to a framework like Angular. Now, people hate on Angular too for various reasons but to stay on topic I won't digress into that.
Things I'm missing OUT OF THE BOX (yes I know there are 12 billion libraries "for that" that came out this week alone) with React are:
- View encapsulation (styles bound to components)
- A templating language that lets me separate a component's markup from its JavaScript
- Native typescript
- Inversion of Control / dependency injection framework
- Native routing that lets me configure my routes as metadata instead of having to use components, which ought to be strictly view / presentation only.
Working with inherited React code often reminds me of working with PHP in the 90s. Lots of markup mixed with lots of logical operations written by developers who don't know the first thing about separation of concerns, design patterns or layered architecture but the barrier to entry is low so they picked it up and were able to get stuff done with it despite not having any guidance what-so-ever on how to write maintainable code with a long shelf-life.
There is also the aspect of upvoting/downvoting that completely skews honest opinion.
Instead of acting like a bullshit filter, upvote/downvote tends to act like a dog getting petted for echoing back a popular opinion to the group or the dog being scolded for echoing an unpopular opinion. Dogs like to get pats on the head and don't like being yelled at.
It is really one of the dumbest ideas of the last 30 years. Total disregard for human behavior and total disregard for the truth considering how often the truth is an unpopular opinion at a specific moment in time.
Throwaway accounts to me are a small protest to this ridiculous system.
