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.

I've been trying for far longer than reasonable to come up with a parody of this kind of toxic misogyny and technofetishism in the form of a "but ChatGPT is better than girlfriend" joke and I can't do it. The combination of pettiness and vitriol is beyond my ability to exaggerate.

Comparing women to a chatbot is definitely derogatory to the chatbot from capital-G Gamers, so even the most exaggerated joke is running hard against Poe's law.
