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.

They thought having an AI-generated character, a sidekick called Bit, might be a “buzzy marketing strategy”.

Please, please be a sidekick for Leto's character. Please Disney, just do it. You don't even need to have Leto react to it, just have it bouncing around and making lame jokes!

Please, please, I want memes!
