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.

Going off the idea that the seniors are quitting in protest of the firing: imagine meeting Sam Altman and thinking: this is my king. I will follow him into the breach. I will fall onto my sword for this doomsday-prepping weasel.

He has a firm handshake and scans you right in the eye.

someone somewhere thinking this is a good move in the acausal game of chess with the basilisk

[–] AcausalRobotGod@awful.systems 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

they think they're playing chess. I'm playing Cosmic Encounter.

[–] Shitgenstein1@awful.systems 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

lmao imagine The Seventh Seal but they're playing that

(I assume it's like a sci-fi Cones of Dunshire)

[–] AcausalRobotGod@awful.systems 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

seriously though cosmic encounter is nice, it was made in the 70s and is still reprinted today.

Does the article say more than just the initial part? I'm hitting a sub/paywall. And archive.is didn't seem to work.

[–] AcausalRobotGod@awful.systems 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

probably not, i'm not going to pay for that shit, lol

[–] Soyweiser@awful.systems 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not sure if you need to pay or just provide an emailadress but im not even going to do that.

[–] AcausalRobotGod@awful.systems 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

[–] Soyweiser@awful.systems 9 points 2 years ago

Get you a 12ft ladder. Still works for A LOT of sites. Most probably

I had that in the past and it for some reason stopped working so I got rid of it. Having too many browser extensions is risky anyway.

I just use the website. I haven’t had a computer in over two years. It’s been super weird. I’ve spent a lot of time on a computer since 94 to have to go cold turkey for two years. I still occasionally dream about LoL matches. Polytopia on my phone kept me from going crazy I guess.

Which one? The one I used in the past always 'internal server errors' for me
