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.

'the fact is they are right about some things'

Yes, which is a thing we agree on, as Rationalwiki says "The good bits are not original and the original bits are not good", problem is that none of the things mentioned before their last statement hold up. We don't know 1 is possible. (Also note that 1 isn't just 1, but actually 5+ points).

Anyway unhinged reddit DM's are always something.

e: eurgh, looked into their post history. They are into making AI porn games. Also they are quite dumb., yes lets ask the magical AI if a thing is true. Ah turns out it told me that OpenAI is the greatest company in the world and there have been no controversies ever. (They also have some opinions about jewish people and trans people in the sinfest subreddit)

That's a weird place to have some opinions about jewish and trans people. I like to look at the sinfest subreddit every now and then and that sub really likes to sneer at people who have weird opinions on those topics (such as the author of the titular webcomic).

It seems a bit of a contrarian sinfest defender. Which causes them to mention some iffy things. Which the r/sinfest admins then delete after downvotes it seems.
