I don’t really have much to say… it kind of speaks for itself. I do appreciate the table of contents so you don’t get lost in the short paragraphs though

Interestingly, HN has "flagged" this submission, to the chagrin of some capitalist bootlickers who once again find their ideas unsold in the marketplace.

I already liked the piece, but the cynicism on display here makes me like it better. It may have struck a nerve, which is usually a positive indicator that a set of ideas is hitting something in the zeitgeist.

I really like this comment. It's so versatile it lets you smugly brush off any criticism.

The important point is: if you want Andreesen's money, you echo his bad ideas.

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.
