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.
For actually-good tech, you want our NotAwfulTech community
So her entire rant starts by talking about AI safety, and then reduces the conversation to talking about AGI being created by text generation AI systems. I'm a bit confused, is she specifically just dunking on shitty reporters who only cover the "AGI from text generators" drivel?
EDIT: Alright, I finally got my half-asleep brain around it. I'm gonna leave my AI safety rant below anyways.

Did we read the fucking same thread?

“this person” go look up what Emily does in your time not posting here
oh my poor half-asleep brain making me shitheadedly assume a woman can’t possibly have done pioneering work in a field she specializes in
Opening with “her entire rant” was already telling, and then a pageful of idiocy based on 4 points (at least two of which are so Not Even Wrong I didn’t even have words)
back in the day, we'd also leave flaming bags of dogshit on people's front porches
