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.

You got a cat!?!! WHY

[–] LoonyLenny 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

From the book Accelerando

Our narrative perspective, Aineko, is not a talking cat: it's a vastly superintelligent AI, coolly calculating, that has worked out that human beings are more easily manipulated if they think they're dealing with a furry toy. The cat body is a sock puppet wielded by an abusive monster.

Brilliant! You are very knowledgable about the sinister nature of cats! Come work for Big Red Dog we need more good people like you not brainwashed by Felies!!
