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.

right???

in retrospect, me making this about ai was a mistake, cause it is not the only place this shows up!

and people get very defensive about this one too. like i'm pretty confident that coolboy004 on reddit is not giving a nuanced delivery on the ethics of a company running an ai-powered call center when he types "screws will not replace us" in all caps on /r/fuckai, and yet

i think it sucks that we're stuck with, say, bluesky engineers genuinely trying to pull the most moronic variant of "but what if the stochastic text generator might have feelings in the future too", but we still need to be able to talk about why people feel the need to make "clanka with the hard r" jokes (answer it's racism)
