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.

@LargeMarge @self you seem very keen to find a problem for your beloved solution. Did you used to be a Blockchainer?

Nope, I just feel like there's a lot of reactionary content out there about AI. It's still in it's infancy and a lot of the tech bros behind these companies are full of shit and over hype it, which is exactly why I was also skeptical about ChatGPT passing the bar exam when it initially happened. But even with that said, it's still a tool that can be applied in useful ways, such as giving suggestions for code or correcting grammar as you type.

There's just no nuance in these discussions and you're a perfect example of that

There’s just no nuance in these discussions and you’re a perfect example of that

the incredible nuance of pretending that basic editor features can’t be done without AI and ignoring a 30% increase in greenhouse gasses (and the entire field of algorithmic complexity) because something something fossil fuels something something progress. you fucking shithead.

it’s time for you to take your leave. but with your time spent not posting in this thread, if you’re actually worried about reactionaries (and we can tell you’re not), might I recommend looking up what your best boy Sam Altman’s been doing with Peter Thiel and the rest of his fash friends? it’s a real easy search to do, but you won’t

and of course it was another throwaway account

Lmao alright bro, thanks for proving my point. I don't like any of the people you listed either, but obviously I'm a fanboy and a fascist because I think there's a valid use case for this tool. Thanks for educating me, you're doing the world a service.

@LargeMarge boiling the oceans because it might be good one day. Ok then
