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.

If I had a nickel for every "metafictional" "short" "story" a promptbro shat into existence on Twitter, I'd have two nickels. That's not much, but its two nickels too fucking many.

To be clear, I would be impressed with a dog that wrote the same story, but only because it was a dog.

is yud lurking sneerclub? This is uncharacteristically succinct

yud’s induction into the ranks of sneerclub is going to get very complicated when he gets to the part where he has to vow to shove Eliezer Yudkowsky into a locker on sight

come now we all know he'll make a 37000 word ship of theseus fanfic to try get around this

I don't think he'll have an issue with it. Someone with that little self-awareness can't possibly own a mirror.

we don't shove rationalists into lockers any more since we all read Worm
