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.

Thus writes Mike Taylor:

I’m a published author lol. I still write some stuff myself but I wouldn’t have time to write everything I want to without AI.

Hey, I'm a published author too! From one published author to another, why don't you take a long fuck off a short pier?

That sentiment kinda sorta works for software. "I want an app that does a thing, but I don't care how it's written/don't have time to code/suck at coding/etc." But the whole point of writing something is, you know, writing. So he wants a blog post about his thoughts on a thing but doesn't have time to write it, so instead he gets a AI to write the blog post about the thing that isn't really his thoughts on the thing... does not compute
