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.

Sometimes they file reports against regulars, accusing them of "ableism" for being anti-slop-machine. That's also entertaining.

Some people will go as far as to call you racist and genocidal if you express dislike for slop machines

There's a term for being anti-ai slop? Hahahaha that is hilarious!

Edit. That term is against those with disabilities. I agree that that's a dick move. Are they claiming that by hating ai slop, we are against those with disabilities? I'm feeling like I missed something. They can't mean that, that's idiotic. Like... Idiocracy level.

AI SHILL: if you hate AI, you hate the disabled!
DISABLED PERSON: hi, help me in some practical way
AI SHILL: fuck off
