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.

ABC got in touch with Tasmania Tours owner Scott Hennessey. He told them: Our AI has messed up completely.

I remember that time when I was hammering a nail with my wrench. I bent the nail, dented the wood and then blamed the incorrect tool I was using.

Anyway, what were we talking about?

Hammers do that all the time, so wrenches and hammers are the same.

I am very smart.
