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.

No, this can't be it, the kids are miserable just because of social media! All we need to do is ban social media and problem solved!

The old promise of entry-level work, where you find a position, learn the ropes, and make your way up, was already fading. Gen Xers and millennials can tell you that. But AI is quickening the unraveling, disrupting how young people find jobs—if they find jobs—and also what they confront when they get there. Gen Z is squinting into a fog, unsure of what’s coming, yet certain that disembodied decision-makers will have a say in it.

It couldn't be that feeling like you have no future makes you depressed and unhappy!

your posts in this thread were so masturbatory that I deleted them all before we got even more jizz on the carpet

Congrats on nuking half the thread.

oh were you using that half?

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I would've liked the option to do so. Just ban people if they're annoying but keep the comments up.

"lounge carpet smelling like piss" is not a thing many people want in their lounges

But what about the way abnegating our duty to smell piss infringes upon the other guy's right to piss freely?
