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.

Turkey has a big opportunity here to corner the market for non-mechanical turks

At least they're not restricted to playing chess better than humans now, AI solved that problem a long time ago.

I also wonder if they will have inclusive hiring policies, like accommodations for dwarfism?

Hold up, I think you might have replied to the wrong post

The original Mechanical Turk had a human being inside. Wouldn't it be easier to fit someone with dwarfism in the space, if they so happened to have the skills of a grand master?

If yes, then reread my previous post with that in mind.
