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.

This is a good insight into the corporate culture angle, but I'm a bit disappointed the author didn't go into the more obvious technical problems, mainly: power. This article from IEEE goes into much more depth in that regard, in case anyone missed it in the stubsack a while ago.

I didn't know about the Tesla humanoid robot demo (Hilarious) though, so at least that's another tack for the pegboard.
