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 has "people don't understand that you don't fall in love in the strip club" vibes. Like. The stripper does not love you. It's a transactional exchange. When you lose sight of that, and start anthropomorphizing LLM's (or romanticizing a strip tease), you are falling into a trap that will allow chinks in your psychological armor to line up in just the right way to act on compulsions or ideas that you wouldn't normally.
Don't besmirch the oldest profession by making it akin to souless vacuum. It's not even a transaction! The AI gains nothing and gives nothing. It's alienation in it's purest form—no wonder the rent-seekers love it—It's the ugliest and least faithful mirror.
