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.

this headline though... awful grammar

[–] ebu@awful.systems 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

random guess, but: "11x” is the name of the company, that's not "eleven times"

You are correct, and a company with this kind of name should NOT have its name reported in the headline because it's confusing and not well-known enough to avoid that confusion.

Substitute that for "AI start-up" and the headline is immediately more clear

Nah, that's regular English. Plain sometimes hard to read English.
