Paying 20-somethings to have orgies on the beach in Bali is a form of charity, if their laptops are nearby.

🙃

Not a cult just a following. Like Andrew Tate for nerds

Scam investigator Coffeezilla is working on the Rabbit AI guy, and he's off to a good start. Most of the other press is about the device not working, while this focuses more on the scammy NFT / crypto past of the founder.

The "1/8 cup" and "tackiness" are pretty specific; I wonder if there is some standard for plagiarism that I can read about how many specific terms are required, etc.

Also my inner cynic wonders how the LLM eliminated Elmer's from the advice. Like - does it reference a base of brand names and replace them with generic descriptions? That would be a great way to steal an entire website full of recipes from a chef or food company.

I tried very hard to use co-pilot for a quick logo creation task. CLL Consulting is a fake company name. I put in quotes like Microsoft suggested, but my output was not as smooth as the Microsoft TV commercial.

(on edit - when you hit the buttons on screen for "change the style of this logo to ___" like watercolor or whatever, it spells it in new and different ways)

A conspiratorial, passive-aggressive fool in the YC comments is not making any claims, just saying that this might be a protection racket.

Mildly interesting that the author runs a media relations company in SF. On the one hand, I am sympathetic to the general perspective of the original article.

On the other hand, that the same person is writing “hit pieces” and running a media relations company bears a certain resemblance to protection rackets of yore

My first response would be “that’s a rather shite superpower then, innit?”

I was thinking the same, especially if it only works on busses.

Those photos at them working all over the world in exotic locations, including the FTX condos in the Bahamas... ... and still referring to themselves as "charity workers."

Extinction is a kind of evolution in its final form.

You helped invent a fucking web browser; get over yourself with your goddamn "manifesto." What a douche.

We are materially focused, for a reason – to open the aperture on how we may choose to live amid material abundance. ... Material abundance from markets and technology opens the space for religion, for politics, and for choices of how to live, socially and individually.

Ah yes, material abundance like living in America's most expensive ZIP code, a neighborhood with an average home price of $8mm and saying this about affordable housing:

"Please IMMEDIATELY REMOVE all multifamily overlay zoning projects from the Housing Element which will be submitted to the state in July," Andreessen and his wife, Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen, said via an email to the mayor and city council. "They will MASSIVELY decrease our home values, the quality of life of ourselves and our neighbors and IMMENSELY increase the noise pollution and traffic."
