Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

OT: since we’ve occasionally featured a music thread and such, any interest in a music sub? it could be pair well with this, the awful pub.
the awful pub sub[0], if you will
this thought brought to you by prior threads as well as this that I’m listening to in late-afternoon 26C weather
[0] you know I had to, I couldn’t not
On the topic of music, also linked here before is https://youtube.com/@Tantacrul
He doesn't mention genAI, but his video essays attack many of the common arguments, even the more awful anti-AI ones. I particularly like his demonstration in which the listener predicts what follows a chord, or melodic, sequence and subverting the expectation leads to more interesting music; Next-token predictors are completely orthogonal to this characteristic.
For the not awful music: https://wangleline.bandcamp.com/album/disaster-field A pretty good idm album.
I just discovered his channel last week and have consumed far too much of his content already, haha. I've been using Musescore forever, so those videos where extremely interesting as well.
So, +1 for Tantacrul
I would definitely make lots of extremely boring posts about old bands in a music sub. Hmmm, maybe it would be a bad idea....
I'd be happy to see it, this place could do have a notawfulmusic sub
hmm, I’m partial to “awful pub sub” over “notawful”, because taste and such are wild (and maybe one may want to sneerpost alongside goodposts)
besides, someone may like/link country. you can never tell with some people!
