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.

Half the time the trucks are driving on the left side of the road. That's fine I guess; except half the time the trucks are driving on the right side of the road.

I feel slightly better about my Pepsi addiction now.

The Coca-Cola Company is desperately trying to talk up this mediocre demo as the best demo ever. That’s how AI works now — AI companies don’t give you an impressive demo that can’t be turned into a product, they give you a garbage demo and loudly insist it’s actually super cool

Considering AI supporters' are too artistically blind to tell quality work from slop, I'm gonna chalk that up to them genuinely believing its the best thing since sliced bread.

Times are tough, the real economy where people live is way down, the recession is biting, and the normal folk know the ones promoting AI want them out of a job. If you push AI, you are the enemy of ordinary people. And the ordinary people know it.

Damn right, David. Here's to hoping the ordinary people don't forget who the AI pushers were once winter sets in.

I already can't have a lower opinion of Coca Cola after they endorsed the fascist US takeover.
