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.

the entire pitch is not having to spend money on employees

True, but I want to be absolutely clear that this isn't some kind of "efficiency" or "profit motive" or whatever. Making ever more obscene amounts of money is part of the goal, of course, but I think there's a deeper motivation rooted in not wanting to acknowledge their responsibility for the problems they're trying to solve without giving up the power they have over those institutions and organizations where those problems exist.

Next step is to do it without employees and datacenters. We will contact Turing (for the lesswrong fans, we will contact Von Neumann) via a seance (for a reasonable fee of course).
