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.

It's for boomers who can't navigate websites, menus, and search bars, and just want to text someone and tell them what to buy.

And it's for teenagers, who (the AI bros hope) will never learn how to navigate websites, menus, and search bars, and will spend their entire lives relying on AI tools to facilitate (and filter and censor and control) their access to the Internet.

I think the tech bros saw how a lot of Gen A don't learn to use Windows/Mac/Linux OSes because they do everything on apps, and thought "hold my beer".
